[solved] Moving elements within an std::vector

In general you just copy the element to its new position. If you are moving a range of elements you're probably looking for std::copy, for a single element regular assignment is fine.

Oh ok thanks, i just wasnt sure if there was a ore 'cut' like way of doing things.

Original post by Kustaz Is there a built in method for relocating an element from one position within a vector to another? I googled for a solution but didn't find anything which was very helpful.

Vectors don't have any built in operations for this (AFAIK), I'd use something like:

std::swap( my_vector[3] , my_vector[15] );

Or, with iterators:

std::swap( *iterator1 , *iterator2 );

Etc.
