=====C++ Vectors===== Vectors contain contiguous elements stored as an array. Accessing members of a vector can be done in [[/complexity|constant time]], appending elements to a vector can be done in [[/complexity|amortized constant time]], whereas locating a specific value or inserting elements into the vector takes [[/complexity|linear time]]. |[[vector_constructors|Constructors]]|create vectors and initialize them with some data| |[[vector_operators|Operators]]|compare, assign, and access elements of a vector| |[[assign]]|assign elements to a vector| |[[at]]|return a reference to an element at a specific location| |[[back]]|returns a reference to last element of a vector| |[[begin]]|returns an iterator to the beginning of the vector| |[[capacity]]|returns the number of elements that the vector can hold| |[[clear]]|removes all elements from the vector| |[[empty]]|true if the vector has no elements| |[[end]]|returns an iterator just past the last element of a vector| |[[erase]]|removes elements from a vector| |[[front]]|returns a reference to the first element of a vector| |[[insert]]|inserts elements into the vector| |[[max_size]]|returns the maximum number of elements that the vector can hold| |[[pop_back]]|removes the last element of a vector| |[[push_back]]|add an element to the end of the vector| |[[rbegin]]|returns a reverse_iterator to the end of the vector| |[[rend]]|returns a reverse_iterator just past the beginning of the vector| |[[reserve]]|sets the minimum capacity of the vector| |[[resize]]|change the size of the vector| |[[size]]|returns the number of items in the vector| |[[swap]]|swap the contents of this vector with another| ====Notes:==== Note that a boolean vector (vector) is a specialization of the vector template that is designed to use less memory. A normal boolean variable usually uses 1-4 bytes of memory, but a boolean vector should use only one bit per boolean value..
