char test [] = { \'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \'d\', \'e\' };

vector

        

Answer 1

You need

char test[] = "abcde";  // This will add a terminating \0 character to the array
std::vector<std::string> v;
v.push_back(test);

Of if you meant to make a vector of character instead of a vector of strings,

std::vector<char> v(test, test + sizeof(test)/sizeof(*test));

The expression sizeof(test)/sizeof(*test) is for calculating the number of elements in the array test.
