[Solved]Object Vector

Question

Is it possible to push an object to a vector in that object's constructor?

I can't figure it out, but I need an object to be automatically added to a vector when the object is created

Good job 👍

I would recommend to instantiate the 3 items in main, because `shop` may be executed multiple times.

Also it seems there's a problem with getting input in main, I got timeout warning. But perhaps it's just because your code requires interactive I/O to work conveniently : )

Answer 2

Ipang I figured it out. Basically, when I create an object, it should immediately be added to the vector automatically.

Answer 3

Ipang There we go. As for the reason, it's just to shorten the code a bit.

I needed to create an object and the object has to be stored in a vector to iterate through them.

Here's the code I'm using it for:

Answer 4

Ipang
Yea, works a whole lot better if you run it elsewhere.
But basically, the first input is if you went to continue
Input should be 1 here, otherwise it'll end the program. Next input is the items, it'll keep accepting input until input is 'f'. Then it restarts.

For example:

1
TV
Knife
f
0

It's written as request by another user, but I do believe there are several changes that could improve the program.

Is this what you mean:-

also...not shown in above link:-

std::vector<int> myvector ({1,2,3,4,5,6});

Answer 6

rodwynnejones If you're asking if I mean the container, yes. I need to add an object to a vector when that object is created.

Answer 10

What are you trying to do Daniel Cooper ?

As I understand it, until the constructor is completely done, the object may not be fully initialized.

What is the plan/need for this 'on create store' idea anyways? can you elaborate more on the thoughts?

Answer 11

Okay Daniel Cooper
I'm glad you got it sorted out 👍

Yes I understand your intention. It's the reason/purpose of the need for immediate object storing that I didn't clearly understand.

Anyways, would you mind sharing the workaround with the community here? might be useful for someone in the future.

Mark your question [SOLVED] if the problem had been solved also helps to emphasize that a solution has been found 👍
