I have a general wondering about std::vector<string>.
If you declare something like this, I have set 1 million elements to this vector.
If I run this program just declare it like this without filling the elements with any strings.
Does this take up any RAM memory just because I have declared this number of elements or do I have to fill them up to take up RAM.
Then I do wonder how many MB is 1000000 (1 million elements) ?

Yes -- it will take up (1000000 * sizeof(string)) + sizeof(vector) before any of the strings have been initialized with anything.

Yes -- it will take up (1000000 * sizeof(string)) + sizeof(vector) before any of the strings have been initialized with anything.
okay, then I know better how to think when I declare vectors. thank you.
