Initializing error

[kfann285]

Just learned vectors and tried to initialize one but got back

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'initializer-list' to 'Vector<std::string>'

I've gotten this before and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

#include "../../std_lib_facilities.h"
#include <vector>
int main() {
	vector<string>spellings = { "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine" };

The code is correct:

Make sure you are compiling in C++11 or C++14 mode.

That error message makes me nervous - is that the exact error, or did you rewrite it to your best memory? If that is the exact error message, then something is very wrong.

That probably is the exact error,
http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/std_lib_facilities.h
You'll see a capital V in Vector somewhere in there, and a #define vector Vector

@kfann285
My guess is that Stroustrup's #defines and weird stuff going on in std_lib_facilities.h weren't meant for C++11 or C++14, and it breaks the code. That is only my assumption though.

@Ganado: ah, I was wondering about that header. Thanks.

[kfann285]

That is the exact error. I'm trying to understand what's written in the header file but I'm not sure. Is there anything I can do about the error?

Use std::vector instead of vector

@LB
I've changed it to std::vector but now it is giving the error

error C2039: 'Vector' : is not a member of 'std'

I've written my code exactly how you've written it in https://ideone.com/XcNKxu.

Did you remember to #include <vector> ?
