Re: std::vector : begin, end and insert - Using Objects instead of ints
Hi,
Question 1.
How do I get the integer value from _Iter
What integer value?
The one that is associated with the element.
I had that problem with "Pos" before.
I don't think I ever figured that one out either.
or
How do I use _Iter to get the object?
*_Iter
That fails, because I believe the iterator it is not an int. It is a CPoint.
I can't seem to define an interator as an int.
I have to define it as a CPoint.
std::vector<CPoint>::iterator m_Iter;
Would there ever be a difference between them?
Yes, there's no guarantee that an iterator is an index or a pointer;
I would like to know when?
I suppose it is just a fail safe.
... and has come out unreadable for me.
I have no idea why it did that. I may have pasted too much code.
I copy and paste from editor to Notepad,
then copy and paste again for the formatting.
It looked correct when I sent it.
I will just post a small portion relevant to the conversation.
P.S. The posted code will fail at your suggestion.
Thanks,
