I get an error when I try to define this function:

void print_array(std::vector v);

Like I said, there's no such type as std::vector. You need to provide
the template parameter (it's also better to pass by reference):

void print_array(const std::vector<int>& v);

Alternatively, you could make print_array itself a template:

template <typename T>
void print_array(const std::vector<T>& v);

another common way (and prefered) is to declare a typedef of the
vector, maybe then it's clearer?

typedef std::vector<int> int_vector;

void print_array( int_vector v );

or more effectively (and showing also that the vector is not modified
in the function which the function name already implies):

void print_array( const int_vector &v )
