Concatenating two std::vectors

Question

How do I concatenate two std::vectors?

Answer 1

Add this one to your header file:

template  vector concat(vector &a, vector &b) {
    vector ret = vector();
    copy(a.begin(), a.end(), back_inserter(ret));
    copy(b.begin(), b.end(), back_inserter(ret));
    return ret;
}

and use it this way:

vector a = vector();
vector b = vector();

a.push_back(1);
a.push_back(2);
b.push_back(62);

vector r = concat(a, b);

r will contain [1,2,62]
