How can I build a std::vector and then sort them?

Question

I have a bunch of strings that I need to sort. I think a std::vector would be the easiest way to do this. However, I\'ve never used vectors before and so would like some help.

Answer 1

Sorting the string:

using namespace std; // to avoid using std everywhere 
std::sort(data.begin(), data.end()); // this will sort the strings

Checking whether vector is sorted:

if(vec.empty())
    return true; // empty vector is sorted correctly
for(std::vector< std::string>::iterator i=vec.begin(), j=i+1; j != vec.end(); ++i, ++j)
    if(*i > *j)  return false;
return true; // sort verified

C++11 Method to check sorted vector: std::is_sorted(vec.begin(),vec.end())

Now printing the sorted vector:

   for(std::vector< std::string>::iterator i = vec.begin(); i != vec.end(); ++i)
{
    std::cout<< *i <<std::endl;
}
