How can I create objects while adding them into a vector?

Question

I have a C++ vector. I want the vector to hold a variable number of objects.

Visual Studio 2012 is giving me an error:

Error: type name is not all         


        

Answer 1

// create a vector of unknown players.
std::vector players;

// resize said vector to only contain 6 players.
players.resize(6);

Values are always initialized, so a vector of 6 players is a vector of 6 valid player objects.

As for the second part, you need to use pointers. Instantiating c++ interface as a child class
