How do I store arrays in an STL list?

Question

Using C++ and the STL, does anybody know how to store integer arrays as nodes in an STL list or vector? I have an unknown number of pairs of numbers that I need to store, an

You can't store arrays in STL containers. You'd use a vector of vectors or somesuch for the general case. For your specific case, I'd use a vector of std::pair, like so: std::vector >. std::pair is a class that has two members, first and second, of whatever type you templatize it to be.

Edit: I originally had it as std::vector >, but I wasn't sure if it was overloaded to accept only 1 parameter in the case that both types are the same... a little digging turned up no evidence of this, so I modified it to explicitly state that both first and second are ints.
