STL Iterators and Regular C Pointers |
The following example illustrates the similarity between STL iterators and regular C pointers.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int array[] = { 1, 42, 3 }; // Regular "C" array.
vector< int > v; // STL vector of integers
void
main()
{
// Initialize the STL Vector
v.push_back( 1 );
v.push_back( 42 );
v.push_back( 3 );
// Use pointer to traverse "C" array.
int* p1;
for ( p1 = array; p1 != array + 3; ++p1 )
cout << "array has " << *p1 << "\n";
// Use iterator to traverse STL vector.
int_vector::iterator p2;
for ( p2 = v.begin(); p2 != v.end(); ++p2 )
cout << "vector has " << *p2 << "\n";
}
array has 1
array has 42
array has 3
vector has 1
vector has 42
vector has 3
