Convert vector<float> to vector<double>

[Pepijn Kenter]

Dear experts.

I have a vector<float> and want to convert that to a vector<double>. I
optimistically tried:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

vector<float> vFloats;
vFloats.push_back(1.0);
vFloats.push_back(2.0);
vector<double> vDoubles = static_cast<vector<double> >( vFloats);

}

But it gave the following errors:

cast.cpp: In function `int main()':
cast.cpp:10: error: no matching function for call to `std::vector<double,
std::allocator<double> >::vector(std::vector<float, std::allocator<float>

&)'

/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.0/../../../../include/c++/3.4.0

_Alloc>::vector(const std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>&) [with _Tp = double, _Alloc
= std::allocator<double>]

_Alloc>::allocator_type&) [with _Tp = double, _Alloc =

_Alloc>::allocator_type&) [with _Tp = double, _Alloc =
std::allocator<double>]

I can only derive from them that there is no casting method available. It
mentions some candidates but I wouldn't know how to use them.

Is there some simple way to cast the vector or do I just have to write my
own conversion routine?

Just declare it and initialise:

vector<double> vDoubles(vFloats.begin(), vFloats.end());

That is what I was looking for. Thanks.
