I got an assignment for class that I cannot figure out. Try it out. Let me know
In an ancient land, the beautiful princess Eve had many suitors. She decided on the following procedure to determine which suitor she would marry. First, all of the suitors would be lined up one after the other and assigned numbers. The first suitor would be number 1, the second number 2, and so on up to the last suitor, bumber n. Starting at the first suitor she would then count three suitors down the line (because of the three letters in her name) and the third suitor would be eliminated from winning her hand and removed from the line. Eve would then continue, counting three more suitors, and eliminating every third suitor. When she reached the end of the line she would continue counting from the beginning.
For example if there were six suitors then the elimination process would proceed as follows:
123456 initial list of suitors, start counting from 1
12456 suitor 3 eliminated, continue counting from 4
1245 suitor 6 eliminated, continue counting for 1
125 suitor 4 eliminated, continue counting from 5
15 suitor 2 eliminated, continue counting from 5
1 suitor 5 eliminated, 1 is the lucky winner.
Write a program that uses a vector to determine which position you should stand in to marry the princess if there are n suitors. You will find the following function form the Vector class useful:
v.erase(iter);
For example, to use this function to erase the fourth element from the beginning of a vector variable named theVector, use
theVector.erase(theVector.begin() + 3);
The number 3 is used bevause the first element in the vector is at index position 0.

You'll get more help if you post some code that shows you made an honest effort. People will not do your homework for you.
the assignment, and class are over I was just wondering if anyone could get it. Don't be so quick to judge.
I apologize if I was wrong. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who post homework assignments expecting someone to write the code for them starting with #include <iostream>.
My reply was a knee-jerk reaction because, unfortunately, it is more often right than wrong.
Again I apologize if I was wrong.
Having said that, I'm sure you at least wrote something for the assignment. Why don't we start with what you had and we'll work from there?

Maybe that should have been "I had an assignment for a class that is now finished...".
I took it the same way that jsmith took it. Probably a lot of people read that line then ignored the rest of the post.
