I have a method that returns a value vector> and I cannot figure out how to print the contents of this vector. I was trying to loop through the contents but I get compiler errors. Here is an example of what I have tried.
vector<pair<char, int>> output;
for(int i = 0; i < ouput.size; i++)
{
cout << output[i][i] << endl; //output[i][i] does no work: no operator [] matches these operands
}
The elements of an std::pair
are the first
and second
data members, so a trivial modification of your loop would print out the contents:
for(int i = 0; i < output.size(); i++)
{
cout << output[i].first << ", " << output[i].second << endl;
}
In C++11, the elements are also accessible tuple
-style, via std::get
,
cout << std::get<0>(output[i]) << ", " << std::get<1>(output[i]) << endl;
In C++11, you also have the option of using a range based loop to iterate over all the elements of a container:
for (const auto& p : output)
{
std::cout << p.first << ", " << p.second << std::endl;
// or std::cout << std::get<0>(p) << ", " << std::get<1>(p) << std::endl;
}
vector<pair<char, int>> output;
for(int i = 0; i < ouput.size (); i++)
{
cout << output[i].first << ":" << output[i].second<< endl;
}
With C++11 :
for(auto &x:output)
{
cout<<x.first<<":"<<x.second<<std::endl;
}
