Previous 17 vectors

[ 17.html ]

Project 8 Due

[ projects.html#P8 ] (P6 with UML documentation)

Study pages 275-280

Code examples mentioned in chapter 6

Chapter 6 of the text refers to many examples like this

 	ch08/between.cpp

I have uploaded them into [ ch06/ ]

6.3 Vector Parameters and Return Values

Advanced Topic 6.2 Passing vectors by constant Reference

Good idea! Simple. Fail safe. Efficient. DO IT!

6.4 Removing and Inserting Vector Elements

You have to reorganize the data.

Quality Tip 6.2 Make Parallel vectors into Vectors of Objects

Good idea!

For example -- a program that simulates a card game will need to model a deck of cards. Don't declare

1. vector <int> suits(52);
2. vector <int> ranks(52);

   Instead declare

    		class Card

    		{

    			...

    			int suit;

    			int rank;

    		};

   plus

    		vector <Card> deck(52);

   As a rule the closer the language in your program reflects the real world the easier the program will be to grow. An in the real world programs grow and grow for ever.

Next project

The next and last project [ projects.html#P9 ] will have a question about it in the final. You need to do it, even if you have a lot of points already.
