Question

Does C++ has anything like List<> in C#? Something like List<string> for storing an array of strings.

Answer 1

The answer is actually

std::vector<std::string>

std::list is a linked list, not an array like C#’s List<T> class.

E.g.

#include <iostream> // iostream is for cout and endl; not necessary just to use vector or string
#include <vector>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector<string> list;
    list.push_back("foo");
    list.push_back("bar");
    for( vector<string>::const_iterator it = list.begin(); it != list.end(); ++it )
        cout << *it << endl;

    return 0;
}

The std::list class is actually equivalent to C#’s LinkedList<T> class.
