sequences

has anyone figured out how to put data into a sequence?

I see two options:
* initialize the sequence to the desired size and use operator[] to assign individual values
* or copy all the data you want into an array of objects and pass a reference to that pointer to the sequence constructor

I've tried the first approach, but I can't figure out what type operator[] expects for assignment.

Can anyone help with this?

I haven't tried to do this yet. Re your question, would you not use pointers to objects? Another avenue to explore is, I remember from COS211 (data structures) that the textbook has a whole section on overloading operator[]. If you still have the 211 text book, you should find code snippets there.

Hi there,

well first you need to decide which sequence conatiner you are willing to use.

The STL provides programmers with the following artifacts, grouped into three categories:

* Sequences
o C++ Vectors
o C++ Lists
o C++ Double-Ended Queues
* Container Adapters
o C++ Stacks
o C++ Queues
o C++ Priority Queues
* Associative Containers
o C++ Bitsets
o C++ Maps
o C++ Multimaps
o C++ Sets
o C++ Multisets

A great reference site is

In order to insert elements into sequences in most you use the following methods:

void push_front(const T& Inserts a new element at the beginning.
void push_back(const T& Inserts a new element at the end.

I assume you want to fill your container with the currencies and their conversion factors.

Why don't you use maps to store your conversion factors?

For example:

map<const char*,map<const char*,double> > mConversionFactors;
