So, I have the following:
std::vector< std::vector <int> > fog;
and I am initializing it very naively like:
for(int i=0; i<A_NUMBER; i++)
{
std::vector <int> fogRow;
for(int j=0; j<OTHER_NUMBER; j++)
{
fogRow.push_back( 0 );
}
fog.push_back(fogRow);
}
And it feels very wrong... Is there another way of initializing a vector like this?
Use the std::vector::vector(count, value)
constructor that accepts an initial size and a default value:
std::vector<std::vector<int> > fog(
A_NUMBER,
std::vector<int>(OTHER_NUMBER)); // Defaults to zero initial value
If a value other than zero, say 4
for example, was required to be the default then:
std::vector<std::vector<int> > fog(
A_NUMBER,
std::vector<int>(OTHER_NUMBER, 4));
I should also mention uniform initialization was introduced in C++11, which permits the initialization of vector
, and other containers, using {}
:
std::vector<std::vector<int> > fog { { 1, 1, 1 },
{ 2, 2, 2 } };
