Learn C++ - Vectors Cheatsheet - Codecademy

Vectors in C++ allow for dynamic lists that can grow and shrink in size. They store elements of the same type and are created using std::vector<type> and the vector header. Common functions for vectors include push_back() to add elements, pop_back() to remove elements, size() to return the number of elements, and accessing elements by index with name[index].

Vectors
Vectors
In C++, a vector is a dynamic list of items, that can shrink
and grow in size. It is created using #include <iostream>
std::vector<type> name; and it can only store #include <vector>
values of the same type.
To use vectors, it is necessary to #include the int main() {
vector library.
std::vector<int> grades(3);

grades[0] = 90;
grades[1] = 86;
grades[2] = 98;

Vector Type
During the creation of a C++ vector, the data type of its
elements must be specified. Once the vector is created,
the type cannot be changed.

.push_back() & .pop_back()


The following functions can be used to add and remove
an element in a vector: std::vector<std::string> wishlist;

●
.push_back() to add an element to the “end” wishlist.push_back("Oculus");
of a vector wishlist.push_back("Telecaster");
●
.pop_back() to remove an element from the
“end” of a vector wishlist.pop_back();

std::cout << wishlist.size();


// Prints: 1

/
.size() Function
The .size() function can be used to return the
number of elements in a vector, like name.size() .
std::vector<std::string> employees;

employees.push_back("michael");
employees.push_back("jim");
employees.push_back("pam");
employees.push_back("dwight");

std::cout << employees.size();


// Prints: 4

Index
An index refers to an element’s position within an
ordered list, like a vector or an array. The first element std::vector<double> order = {3.99, 12.99,
has an index of 0. 2.49};
A specific element in a vector or an array can be
accessed using its index, like name[index] . // What's the first element?
std::cout << order[0];

// What's the last element?


std::cout << order[2];
