problem with functions for vectors

[yash8087]

hi guys i've written this small piece code ehen i use the find or std::distance function it shows this error "error: no matching function for call to 'find(std::vector<std::basic_string<char> >::iterator, std::vector<std::basic_string<char> >::iterator, std::string&)"


despite declaring all the headers how solve this?


int check_for_command(string input)
{ char *msgs[]={"open google","facebook login","open facebook","open gmail","open twitter",
"open instagram","open youtube","open browser"};
vector<string> v(msgs,msgs+8);
if("open twitter"==find(begin(v),end(v),input))
cout<<"ok";

As your error message states there is no member function named find() in the vector class. Did you forget to include the <algorithm> include file?

Why are you using an array of C-strings? Why not just use a vector of strings in the first place?

    vector<string> vectString{"open google","facebook login","open facebook","open gmail","open twitter",
                   "open instagram","open youtube","open browser"};

What exactly are you trying to do in that if statement?

Did you lookup and study the documentation for the std::find() function?

You keep calling about "distance" yet I see nothing in your snippet relating to this term. Do you perhaps mean std::distance?

Post your current code.
