Initialising a 2D vector in a constructor!

[ssmny]

Hello all there!
I have no experience with STL but now i must use it.
I wanna do this:
I have a class "Token" in the "tokenClass .h" and

1)I wanna be eble initialise my *m_Board in a default constructor.

2)and I want also to be eble to initialise my m_Board Dynamicaly

... anyone there to help me I will be very greatifull

#include "tokenClass.h"
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

class GameB
{
private:
    vector<vector<Token> >* m_Board;
    int xloc;
    int yloc;
public:
    GameB()
    {
        m_Board = new vector<vector<Token> >(6,vector<Token>(6,0));
    }

    GameB(int locatx,int locaty)
        :xloc(locatx),yloc(locaty)
    {
    m_Board=new vector<vector<Token> >(xloc,vector<Token>(yloc));
    }

};

You haven't actually said what the problem you are getting is, does this compile?

[ssmny]

Actually, considering only the default constructor, if the elements were integers(instea d of "Tokens") it would compile, but if the vector is to take "Token" as it is there, it does not.
I suspect, it has something to do with overloading the "=" although the compile doesn't tell that.
2) with the second construct, its seems all wrong. so i need your Help please!
Thanks!

[Banfa]

What are the compilation errors?

[ssmny]

error: no matching function for call to 'std::vector<To ken, std::allocator< Token> >::_M_fill_init ialize(size_t, int&)'

[Banfa]

On which line number in the code? Please post all the relevant information.

[Banfa]

Probably here

        m_Board = new vector<vector<Token> >(6,vector<Token>(6,0));

0 is not a Token, you need to provide a Token e.g. Token() for the default constructed token

Banfa: u are great man, thanks a lot.
I am now planning to better the non default constructor
I want to be putting these tokens into that m_Board.
If you have the idea how i should do it, please dont hasitate to let me know. Otherwise I try my best and turn to in sometime.

[ssmny]

But a small stupid question please:
(m_Board = new vector<vector<T oken> >(6,vector<Toke n>(6,0));)
What does that whole statement mean?

Also, you don't need a vector pointer m_board.

Just make m_board a vector. A vector keeps all of its data on the heap anyway.

If you need to change boards then just erase the current vector from begin() to end().
