vector set 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: vectors c++ set the size

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
   vector<int> v;

   cout << "Initial vector size = " << v.size() << endl;

   v.resize(5, 10);
   cout << "Vector size after resize = " << v.size() << endl;

   cout << "Vector contains following elements" << endl;
   for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i)
      cout << v[i] << endl;

   return 0;
}
