Initializing Vector using an Existing Vector in C++ STL
Last Updated :
08 Mar, 2023
A vector is a type of container which can store objects of similar data type. Vector acts like a dynamic array where we can insert elements and the size of the array increases depending upon the elements inserted.
Syntax:
vector<data_structure/type> vector_name(size, item)
To know more about vectors refer to vectors in C++.
The 3D vector in C++
A 3D vector is a type of multidimensional vector having 3 dimensions. It can also be interpreted as a vector with a collection of 2D vectors inside it.
Syntax:
vector<vector<vector<int>>> v;
Example:
1 D vector -> { 1 , 2, 3 }
2 D vector -> { { 1,2,3 } , {4,5,6} }
3 D vector -> { { { 1,2,3 } , {4,5,6} } , { { 11,12,13 } , {14,15,16} } , { { 21,22,23 } , {24,25,26} } }
Below is the code of the example:
C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
// 1D Array
vector<int> a = { 1, 2, 3 };
cout<<"1D vector\n";
for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
cout << a[i] << " ";
}
// 2D Array
vector<vector<int> > b = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 } };
cout<<"\n\n2D vector\n";
for (int i = 0; i < b.size(); i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < b[0].size(); j++) {
cout << b[i][j] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
// 3D Array
vector<vector<vector<int> > > c = {
{ { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 }, { 7, 8, 9 } },
{ { 11, 12, 13 }, { 14, 15, 16 }, { 17, 18, 19 } },
{ { 21, 22, 23 }, { 24, 25, 26 }, { 27, 28, 29 } }
};
cout<<"\n\n3D vector\n";
cout << "[\n";
for (int i = 0; i < c.size(); i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < c[0].size(); j++) {
cout << " [ ";
for (int k = 0; k < c[0][0].size(); k++) {
cout << c[i][j][k] << " ";
}
cout << "]";
}
cout << endl;
}
cout << "]";
return 0;
}

Copying vector elements in a new vector
It is the method where we can insert the values of the existing vector into the newly created vector during Initialisation.
Syntax:
vector<vector<vector<int>>> v2(v1.begin(),v2.end());
Example:
vector<vector<vector<int>>> v1={ { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } },
{ { 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 } } }; // 3D vector original
vector<vector<vector<int>>> v2; // ( Copy elements of v1 inside v2 )
Code:
C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// function to display vector
void display(vector<vector<vector<int> > >& v)
{
for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) {
cout << "i : " << i << endl;
for (int j = 0; j < v[i].size(); j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < v[i][j].size(); k++)
cout << v[i][j][k] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
}
}
int main()
{
vector<vector<vector<int> > > v
= { { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } },
{ { 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 } } };
// initializing vect using v
vector<vector<vector<int> > > vect(v.begin(), v.end());
display(vect);
}

Copying vector elements using copy function in C++ STL
It is the method where we can insert the values of the existing vector into the newly created vector using copy() function in C++.
Syntax:
copy(first_iterator, last_iterator, back_inserter())
Example:
vector<vector<vector<int> > > v = { { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } }, { { 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 } } }; // Original 3-D vector
copy(v.begin(), v.end(), back_inserter(vect)); // Copying vector elements to another vector by using copy() function
Code:
C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// function to display vector
void display(vector<vector<vector<int> > >& v)
{
for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) {
cout << "i : " << i << endl;
for (int j = 0; j < v[i].size(); j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < v[i][j].size(); k++)
cout << v[i][j][k] << " ";
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
}
}
int main()
{
vector<vector<vector<int> > > v
= { { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } },
{ { 5, 6 }, { 7, 8 } } };
// initializing vect
vector<vector<vector<int> > > vect;
// Copying vector by copy function
copy(v.begin(), v.end(), back_inserter(vect));
display(vect);
}
