Vector Elements

Hi people, was curious if there was a way to change all the elements
in a vector without having to loop through and access every one and
then change them.

for example. I have a vector that is 10 000 elements, and one value
that I want to copy them all to. Can I do it without looping?

Any advice is appreciated.

Of course

vec.assign(vec. size( ), some_value);

Suggest you familiarise yourself with some standard library documentation.

erase them all and the resize them with the new value as fill. There
is an oft-forgotten defaulted argument to the vector constructor and
resize function that specifies what the

vector<int> foo(10000); // 10000 elements of zero.
foo.clear();
foo.resize(1000 0, 5); // 10000 elements of 5;

Of course, the other way is to use fill
fill(foo.begin( ), foo.end(), 5);

I think using fill is much better approach in this case, from performance
point of view. I don't know if resizing implies reallocation of memory even
for new size smaller than or equal to the old one.

Hi All, I have the following problem, and I would be extremely grateful if somebody would be kind enough to suggest an efficient solution to it. I create an instance of a Class A, and "push_back" a copy of this into a vector V. This is repeated many times in an iterative process. Ok whenever I "push_back" a copy of Class A, I also want to assign a pointer contained in an exisiting instance of a Class B to this

What is the typical way to loop through a vector while deleting certain elements during the loop process? The code below works, but I am wondering if there is a better solution. vector<intvTmp; vTmp.push_back(1); vTmp.push_back(2); vTmp.push_back(1); vTmp.push_back(2);

I am wondering if anyone has any better idea of how to approach this problem than I do. . . . I have a vector of items (data). I have to do a pairwise comparison of each item to each other item and apply logic to see if one should be deleted. In the past I have done this using for statements, like: for (int i = 0; i < input_vector.size(); i++) for (int j = i; i < input_vector.size(); j++)

I'd like to be able to view two contiguous elements of a vector as a pair. Assuming I'm not accessing the last element, of course, and the element type is not bool, when is it safe to do so, from the language definition point of view? const pr& p = *(const pr*)(&v); // pr - either std::pair or hand-defined pair of elements
