Display vector elements using const_iterator
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
#include <vector>
using std::vector;
template < typename T > void printVector( const vector< T > &integers2 );
int main()
{
int array[ 6 ] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }; // initialize array
vector< int > integers; // create vector of ints
integers.push_back( 2 );
integers.push_back( 3 );
integers.push_back( 4 );
printVector( integers );
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
template < typename T > void printVector( const vector< T > &integers2 ){
typename vector< T >::const_iterator constIterator;
for ( constIterator = integers2.begin();
constIterator != integers2.end(); ++constIterator )
cout << *constIterator << " ";
}
/*
2 3 4
*/
Use const_interator to loop through the set
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
set<string> setStr;
string s = "B";
setStr.insert(s);
s = "S";
setStr.insert(s);
s = "R";
setStr.insert(s);
s = "H";
setStr.insert(s);
for (set<string>::const_iterator p = setStr.begin( );p != setStr.end( ); ++p)
cout << *p << endl;
}
/*
B
H
R
S
*/
