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

    C++ Vector
AI Thread 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)
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
