how to initialize list in a vector

list<intCurve;
vector<Curvea;
a.reserve(10);

then how should I initialize the list in the vector before
a[0].push_back(123) ?

what about
list<int>Curve ;
vector<Curve *a;
a.reserve(10);

thanks~~

Are you perhaps asking, how to write this?
std::vector< std::list<int a;
Well, it is written like this.

No need: When you executed

a.reserve(10);

you caused a to have 10 elements, each of which is a vector with no
elements. So when you call a[0].push_back, you cause a[0] to have one
element instead of the no elements it formerly had.

You could have saved yourself a little bit of trouble by writing

vector<Curvea(10); // not a[10] !

instead of

vector<Curvea;
a.reserve(10);
After you have executed this code, a will be a vector with 10 pointers, each
of which is 0. So you might say

a[0] = new list<int>;
a[0].push_back(123);

Of course, if you use this strategy, you will have to delete every list that
you allocated with new, otherwise your program will have a memory leak.

sure that there is room enough in the vector (by re-allocating if
necessary) to add n elements without having to re-allocate. It does not
however change the number of elements in the vector, so in this case the
vector will still be empty and trying to access the first element will
result in undefined behaviour.
Yes, that is the correct way to create a vector with 10 elements.
Replace the two lines above with
vector<Curve*a(10);

space, but the vector was still empty; whereas resize() allocates and
creates the elements.

feel so bad about that bug I found <g>

that.

Also, of course, his code shouldn't compile, since Curve is a
variable, not a type. He probably needs a typedef in the line
declaring Curve, but I'm not sure. I'm not at all sure what
he's really trying to do, but maybe something like:

typedef std::list< int Curve ;
std::vector< Curve a( 10 ) ;

is what he's looking for. Or maybe something more like:

typedef std::list< int Curve ;
std::vector< Curve a ;

if ( i >= a.size() ) {
a.resize( i + 1 ) ;
}
a[ i ].push_back( 42 ) ;

, if he doesn't know the actual size in advance.
