Simple VECTOR usage, New to vectors

[nameishi]

I am at the stage of storing my strings into a vector, could use some help
Please.
Also once i have my two lists of vectors is there a way to compare the two vectors together so i know which elements to pop_

  void openTagStow(string hold, vector<string>& myVector) {
	myVector.insert(myVector.begin(),hold);
	cout << myVector.begin << endl;// error is right here, not sure how it is suppose to work
	
	
}

is there a way to compare the two vectors together

Have you read the documentation for vector?
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector

At the bottom of the page, you'll notice there's an operator==.
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/operator_cmp

cout << myVector.begin << endl;// error is right here, not sure how it is suppose to work
Forgot () after begin? It's a function call remember.

You can use vector of strings the same as vectors of any other type.

So:

myVector.push_back(hold);
cout << myVector.back() << endl;

You can't compare two vectors except by comparing them element by element.

kbw - i added () oginally but got an error stating - no operator "<<" mathes these operands

Kevin C - yes i want to compare the elements of each vector at a time : vector1 will contain "Hello" and if vector 2 contains "/Hello" then i want to pop both elements off

[Kevin C]

First, write a function:

bool VectorContainsHello(vector<string>& vec)

It should return true if vector 'vec' contains "Hello", and false otherwise. Post the code here, and then we can comment on it and give you further instructions.

I don't see a function

bool VectorContainsHello(vector<string>& vec)

anywhere in your code.

yeah i was doing it a crazy weird way, a better way was to use a peek function and substr to compare open tags to closed tags storing only open tags
