change vector size c++ code example

Example 1: when a vector in c++ is resized what happens to the elements of the vector

The C++ function std::vector::resize() changes the size of vector. If n is smaller than current size then extra elements are destroyed.

If n is greater than current container size then new elements are inserted at the end of vector.

If val is specified then new elements are initialed with val.

Example 2: c++ vector size

#include <vector>

int main() {
  std::vector<int> myVector = { 666, 1337, 420 };
  
  size_t size = myVector.size(); // 3
  
  myVector.push_back(399); // Add 399 to the end of the vector
  
  size = myVector.size(); // 4
}

Example 3: c++ create vector of size

// create a vector with 20 integer elements
std::vector<int> arr(20);

for(int x = 0; x < 20; ++x)
   arr[x] = x;
