Question

i am testing out this code which reads stdin and stores it in vector and stdout..any idea what the problem could be??

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>


using namespace std;

int main() {
  vector<string> vs;
  vector<string>::iterator vsi;

  string buffer;
  while (!(cin.eof())) {
    getline(cin, buffer);
    cout << buffer << endl;
    vs.push_back(buffer);
  };

  for (int count=1 , vsi = vs.begin(); vsi != vs.end(); vsi++,count++){
    cout << "string" << count <<"="<< *vsi << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

Answer 1

In the initialization part of the for loop, you declare a new variable vsi whose type is int.

One way to fix the problem:

vsi = vs.begin();
for (int count=1; vsi != vs.end(); ...
