C++: Syntax error C2061: Unexpected identifier

Question

What\'s wrong with this line of code?

bar foo(vector ftw);

It produces

error C2061: syntax error: identifier \'vector\'

Answer 1

Do you have:

#include

and

using namespace std; in your code?

defines the std::vector class, so you need to include it some where in your file.

since you're using vector, you need to instruct the compiler that you're going to import the whole std namespace (arguably this is not something you want to do), via using namespace std;

Otherwise vector should be defined as std::vector
