C/C++ C++ Vector Resize: Counting Down to the Test

    C++ Vector
Click For Summary
To create a countdown vector with elements from newSize down to 1, the vector must first be resized using countDown.resize(newSize). After resizing, the vector needs to be populated with integers in descending order. The code snippet provided indicates that the user attempted to resize the vector but did not populate it correctly, leading to confusion. The key takeaway is that resizing alone is insufficient; the vector must also be filled with the appropriate values for the desired output of "3 2 1 Go!".

Resize vector countDown to have newSize elements. Populate the vector with integers newSize down to 1. Ex: If newSize = 3, then countDown = {3, 2, 1}, and the sample program outputs:

3 2 1 Go!
Sample program:

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   vector<int> countDown(0); 
   int newSize = 0;             
   int i = 0;                         

   newSize = 3;
   <STUDENT CODE>

   for (i = 0; i < newSize; ++i) {
      cout << countDown.at(i) << " ";
   }
   cout << "Go!" << endl;

   return 0;
}

i tried countDown.resize(newSize); but it didnt work.

Hi! ;)

That should work to resize the vector.
But I think you still have to populate the vector in order to get 3, 2, 1. (Thinking)
