It compiles and runs, but after "Here is the starting empty cubes vector" prints, I get this message:

i think the error you are getting is on line 65. you are starting with the subscript 6 but i believe the vector has only 6 elements so the last subscript would be 5. why don't you just use push_back for each element instead of insert since you are adding them to the end of the vector.

Thank you for your answer, but I changed the numbers you mention to 5 and 8, and I still get the same error at the same spot.

I am required to use insert where I do, or else I would definitely use push_back instead.

   cout << "\n\nAdding the first 6 cubes to the vector:";
   for(i = 0; i < 6; i++)  
     {
    v.push_back(cubes(i)); 
    show_vector(v);

sorry for that:) i presed tab:). I think line 41 is your problem. A constructor does not return a type so i don't see what your v vector would contain.

alright i figured it out. it is from line 104. you have for(i = 0; i <= (int) v.size(); i++) when it should be for(i = 0; i //<// (int) v.size(); i++) since you are doing <= you will run to size when you actually want to stop after size - 1

Sorry I forgot. This also applies to line 112. and one other thing on line you are using a iterator after you change the vector. A iterator to a vector is no longer usable after the vector has been changed. sorry but you are going to have another way to do this.

Hi Nathan.You didn't say nothing about that constructor being pushed back into the vector. Am i wrong? Cause i trust you know better and i'm really curious.

Sorry i didn't see how the get_cube() function was being used. I get it now.

at caut_baia

assuming we have class Foo

vector<Foo> bar
bar.push_back(Foo(1));

this is perfectly legal to do.

Yes i know.I just skimmed too fast and failed to see that accessor being used .. get_cube().
