Thanks David,

Yes, yes, yes.... I really screwed that one up now did I!

'Arrays of objects' is what I meant.

David, can you suggest me a good and clear C++ book for STL ... so I can get started to learn all this 'std::vector' stuff!

I will take a look at amazon.com and aswell as my local computer book store...

Thanks all!


Robby:

You don't really need to know much about the STL just to use std::vector as a resizable array. I would say that right now what you need is a good introductory book on C++. Any such book will have everything you need to know about the C++ standard library (the STL is now just a part of the standard library).

Unfortunately, I'm not really an expert on introductory C++ books. I first learned C++ about 10 years ago from a very elementary C++ book and some MFC books. After a while I got into these newsgroups, and discovered all the things I didn't know. Then I bought some more advanced books.

Must-have reference books in the more advanced category are

Stroustrup: The C++ Programming Language
Josuttis: The C++ Standard Library

Maybe someone else can help you with a good introductory C++ book.
