Hi,
How can I Random access an element in a STL List if I have a pointer to
that list?
I know how to do that if I have a reference to a STL list, but how can
I do that if I have a pointer to a STL List.
void function (vector<int>& myLIst) {
// access the first element of myList
printf ("%d", myList[1]);
}
but if I have this:
void function (vector<int>* myLIst) {
// how to access the first element of myList
printf ("%d", myList[1]);
}
Thank you. 6 6892
Sorry, there is a typo in my previous mail.
I meant 'second' element not 'first' Al************@ gmail.com sade: Hi,

First, there's a huge difference between a std::list<> (list) and a
std::vector<> (vector).
void function (vector<int>& myLIst) { // access the first element of myList printf ("%d", myList[1]); }
but if I have this: void function (vector<int>* myLIst) { // how to access the first element of myList printf ("%d", myList[1]);
You have to dereference the pointer:
(*myList)[1];
or:
myList->at(1);
or the really, really ugly way:
myList->operator[](1);
}
Any c++ book should cover basic pointer use.

And?
Did you notice that the OP wrote "STL List" and then
used a std::vector<>?

Where does the confusion come from? Nowadays people are taught Java as
their first programming language.

What do you mean by "the vector?" Do you mean the class which most
closely resembles std::vector<> in functionality and/or implementation?
Are you aware of java.util.Vecto r? java.util.List? I'm not saying
it's false that, in many cases, ArrayList is an appropriate parallel
usage to std::vector, but I'd recommend getting out of the mindset that
there is a 1:1 correspondence between Java entities and C++ entities.
And? Did you notice that the OP wrote "STL List" and then used a std::vector<>? Where does the confusion come from?
I would say it comes from assuming that "a list is a list is a list"
rather than giving a moment's thought to the attributes of different
implementations which support various container operations. Or, better
yet, actually reading the documentation.
Nowadays people are taught Java as their first programming language.
Yes. And nowadays people are taught C++ as their first programming
language. Also, nowadays people are taught MIT-Scheme as their first
programming language. And Python, and Ruby, and on and on. Nobody
used to learn Java first (because it didn't exist/hadn't become
sufficiently established), but now some do. There are advantages and
disadvantages to this approach, all of which is well-covered ground.

Is there any library for this sort of thing in Python?...

From what I learned, if you want to do random element insertions and
deletions you should use a list. But, with std::vector, if the order of the
elements does not matter, couldn't you efficiently remove a random element
by swapping it with the last element and then just using pop_back? Does
erase do this internally? Or does erase do the element shift to fill in the
gap?

How do I take an array or arraylist, and sort it randomly? Like suppose the

does
x.sort(cmp = lambda x,y : cmp(random.random(),0.5))
pick a random shuffle of x with uniform distribution ?
Intuitively, assuming list.sort() does a minimal number of comparisons to
achieve the sort, I'd say the answer is yes. But I don't feel quite confortable
with the intuition... can anyone think of a more solid argumentation ?

This is a question for the best method (in terms of performance

a certain property.
This is the setting: I need to pick from a list a random element
that satisfies a given property. All or none of the elements may have
the property. Most of the time, many of the elements will satisfy the
property, and the property is a bit expensive to evaluate. Chance of...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
