This is a noob question sorry 🙁
I dont know why this gives me an error..could somebody please explain?
for example i wanna do:

vector<double> a;
string s("0.11 11.0002");
copys(s, a);


template <typename T, typename S>
void copys(T& c, S& d)
{
    istringstream iss(c);
    copy(istream_iterator<S>(iss), istream_iterator<S>(),
        back_inserter(d));
    return;
}

The error from the compiler is:

    The problem is that after template substitution, this

    copy(istream_iterator<S>(iss), istream_iterator<S>(),
        back_inserter(d));

    becomes

    copy(istream_iterator<vector<double> >(iss), istream_iterator<vector<double> >(),
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        back_inserter(d));

    You don’t want to extract vector<double>-s from the string (and stringstreams can’t do that anyway). Instead you want to extract double-s from the string, and therefore you need the value_type of the vector (double in this case).

    typedef typename S::value_type value_type;
copy(istream_iterator<value_type>(iss), istream_iterator<value_type>(),
        back_inserter(d));
