How to create a list of tuples C++

Question

I am fairly new to c++, I dont really have any background in it. I am tying to create a list of tuples, the first will be an int, the second will be a string.

Answer 1

For a simple list use std::vector instead of std::list.

You probably just want something simple such as:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include "boost/tuple/tuple.hpp"

using namespace std;
using boost::tuple;

typedef vector< tuple > tuple_list;

int main(int arg, char* argv[]) {
    tuple_list tl;
    tl.push_back( tuple(21,"Jim") );

    for (tuple_list::const_iterator i = tl.begin(); i != tl.end(); ++i) {
        cout << "Age: " << i->get<0>() << endl;
        cout << "Name: " << i->get<1>() << endl;
    }
}

std::list is actually an implementation of a doubly-linked list which you may not need.
