Defined in header <vector>
template<     class T,     class Allocator = std::allocator<T> > class vector;

std::vector is a container that supports fast random access to the elements and fast insertion or removal of elements at the end of the container. Fast element insertion or removal in the middle of the container is not supported. It is implemented as an contiguous array, which means that pointer arithmetic is fully supported, and a pointer to an element of a vector may be passed to any C function that expects a pointer to an element of an array.

std::vector meets the requirements of Container, AllocatorAwareContainer, SequenceContainer and ReversibleContainer.

Specializations

The standard library provides a specialization of std::vector for the type bool, which is optimized for space efficiency.

vector<bool>	space-efficient dynamic bitset (class template)

Member types

Member type	Definition
value_type	T
allocator_type	Allocator
size_type	Unsigned integral type (usually size_t)
difference_type	Signed integer type (usually ptrdiff_t)
reference	Allocator::reference (until C++11) value_type& (since C++11)
const_reference	Allocator::const_reference (until C++11) const value_type& (since C++11)
pointer	Allocator::pointer (until C++11) std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer (since C++11)
const_pointer	Allocator::const_pointer (until C++11) std::allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer (since C++11)
iterator	RandomAccessIterator
const_iterator	Constant random access iterator
reverse_iterator	std::reverse_iterator<iterator>
const_reverse_iterator	std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the vector (public member function)
(destructor)	destructs the vector (public member function)
operator=	assigns values to the container (public member function)
assign	assigns values to the container (public member function)
get_allocator	returns the associated allocator (public member function)
Element access
at	access specified element with bounds checking (public member function)
operator[]	access specified element (public member function)
front	access the first element (public member function)
back	access the last element (public member function)
data (C++11)	direct access to the underlying array (public member function)
Iterators
begin cbegin	returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end cend	returns an iterator to the end (public member function)
rbegin crbegin	returns a reverse iterator to the beginning (public member function)
