vector class MinIndex method in Dev c++

[curious2007]

I am using Dev C++ however getting errors when I call MinIndev method from a vector.

#include <vector>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main ()
 
{
 
  vector<double> parameter_range(4, 2.0);
  vector<double> result (parameter_range.size(), parameter_range.MinIndex());
 
}

So here I do not get an error when I use size(). However, I get "..........has no member named MinIndex" error. I would appreciate any insight.

Have a look at the vector class documentation. The compiler is right:
there is no such member function. Who or what gave you the idea that there
was such a function?

kind regards,

Perhaps you wanted to use the algorithm min_element()? The result is kinda obvious though. 2.0.

OK, thanks for the clarification. It seems that the code I have borrowed is not using the standard vector class. I guess this MinIndex function only works for some special compilers.

No, it's not the compiler (at least I hope not), it's the definition of the class
template. Better stick to the STL and don't use any proprietary libs that don't
supply any decent documentation.

One way to determine if it is a STL function/class is that STL doesn't use camel case, it has underscores ('_') between words.
