Vector

Vector

Description

The templated class vector<T, A> is the base container adaptor for dense vectors. For a n-dimensional vector and 0 <= i < n every element vi is mapped to the i-th element of the container.

Example

#include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp>

int main () {
    using namespace boost::numeric::ublas;
    vector<double> v (3);
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < v.size (); ++ i)
        v (i) = i;
    std::cout << v << std::endl;
}

Definition

Defined in the header vector.hpp.

Parameter Description Default
T The type of object stored in the vector.
A The type of the Storage array. [1] unbounded_array<T>

Model of

Vector, RandomAccessContainer

Type requirements

None, except for those imposed by the requirements of Vector and RandomAccessContainer.
