    Question move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vector

    I am collecting numerical data into a 2D vector. At the end of every cycle that 2D vector dumps into a 3D vector. The size of the 2D vector varies.

    I am getting a vector overload during the use of the 3D vector (only when the rows and columns aren't the same as the previous entry).

    I have successfully completed this exact challenge using a changing 1D that goes into a 2D with no errors. So, I am suspicious that my 2D vector is not being cleared properly, using clear(). Perhaps there is an additional built-in function within C++?

    After several attempts searching on google and SOF, I am amazed that I can't find someone who has asked how to do this.

    It seemes like an extremely common necessity.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <random>
    
    int main()
    {
    	// vector init
    	std::vector<std::vector<int>> vec_input_ctrl;
    	std::vector <int> vec_ctrl_values;
    	std::vector<std::vector<int>> vec_collected_values;
    	std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<int>>> vec_collected_values_3D;
    
    	// random number generatior
    	std::random_device random_device_01;
    	std::mt19937 randgen_01(random_device_01());
    
    	// variable init
    	int var_int;
    	int column_count = 0;
    	int row_count = 0;
    	int cycle_count = 5;
    
    	// 3D loop
    	for (int var_cycle = 0; var_cycle < cycle_count; var_cycle++)
    	{

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    You don't show the definition of the 2d and 3d vectors or how they are created - but the emplace() doesn't look right for a 3d-array...
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality.

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    Forgive me, I pasted a sniplet of my code from a 2000 line program. I didn't want to cut and paste more than was necessary to understand the problem. So instead of pasting more of what might cause confusion, I provided a minialized example of what I am doing. This is the line where the error happens: vec_final_2D_collecter[var_move_vector_a].push_back(vec_collected_values_01[var_move_vector_a][var_move_vector_b]); –

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    if you move the following lines above the main for loop, eveything works fine. Hence, the program the logic of the program is sound, except when the columns and rows change every cycle
    std::uniform_int_distribution<> columns(10, 20);
    column_count = columns(randgen_01);

    std::uniform_int_distribution<> rows(3, 10);
    row_count = rows(randgen_01);

    As a refactor into functions etc, consider:

    	ver3d(vec_collected_values_3D);
    }
    which runs OK

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    As a second refactor consider - which is now much more readable/understanding and uses range-for loops etc so that the size of the vectors etc doesn't need to be known except when creating. Also note that std::vector supports = so a vector can be assigned to another vector (it even works for 2d etc):

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <random>
    
    using Vec1d = std::vector<int>;
    using Vec2d = std::vector<Vec1d>;

    Rather than build the two multidimensional vectors, you could use two one-dimensional vectors together with index mapping functions. As of C++ 23, this approach has standard support by std::mdspan, but there is no reason to wait.

    I imagine one of the index functions will map from the one-dimensional index of what was the 2D vector onto the one-dimensional index of what was the 3D vector. It may even be possible to replace the 2D and 3D vectors with a single one-dimensional vector. You would use two different multidimensional views of the same 1D vector.

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    And for a 3rd refactor which again simplifies the code considerably, consider:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <random>
    
    using Vec1d = std::vector<int>;
    using Vec2d = std::vector<Vec1d>;
    using Vec3d = std::vector<Vec2d>;
    
    std::mt19937 rng(std::random_device {}());
    
    Vec1d create1d(size_t sz) {
    	static std::uniform_int_distribution<> rand_amount(0, 9);
    
    	Vec1d v1d(sz);
    
    	for (auto& e : v1d)
    		e = rand_amount(rng);
    
    	return v1d;
    }
    
    Vec2d create2d() {
    	static std::uniform_int_distribution<size_t> columns(10, 20);
    	static std::uniform_int_distribution<size_t> rows(3, 10);
    
    	const auto column_count { columns(rng) };
    	const auto row_count { rows(rng) };
    
    	Vec2d v2d;
    
    	for (size_t c {}; c < column_count; ++c)
    		v2d.push_back(create1d(row_count));
    
    	return v2d;
    }
    
    Vec3d create3d(size_t cycle_count) {
    	Vec3d vec3d;
    
    	for (size_t var_cycle {}; var_cycle < cycle_count; ++var_cycle)
    		vec3d.push_back(create2d());
    
    	return vec3d;
    }
    
    void display1d(const Vec1d& v1d) {
    	for (const auto& rw : v1d)
    		std::cout << rw << ' ';
    
    	std::cout << '\n';
    }
    
    void display2d(const Vec2d& v2d) {
    	for (const auto& rc : v2d)
    		display1d(rc);
    
    	std::cout << "\n\n";
    }
    
    void display3d(const Vec3d& v3d) {
    	std::cout << "Verify 3D vector\n";
    
    	for (size_t var_cycle {};  const auto& v2d : v3d) {
    		std::cout << "Vec_collected_values_3D #" << ++var_cycle << '\n';
    		display2d(v2d);
    	}
    }
    
    int main() {
    	constexpr size_t cycle_count { 5 };
    	const auto vec3d { create3d(cycle_count) };
    
    	display3d(vec3d);
    }
    This is now module,readable and can be easily modified for future requirements.

    As of C++ 23, this approach has standard support by std::mdspan, but there is no reason to wait.
    Seems to be a nice feature, But as of 29 Dec 2022 isn't supported by any compiler...

    Also note that this implementation requires the change to the comma operator within [] to be implemented as array[i, j] is supported meaning for c-style array carray[i][j] and not evaluate i then evaluate j and use the result of j as would be the previous norm.

    https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/w...21/p2128r6.pdf
    Currently, this has only been implemented by Clang and GCC.

    I know. The std::mdspan is a C++ 23 feature. What I mean is that the principle it represents is already available.

    The 3D vector looks like a 1D vector of random-sized 2D vectors filled with random one-digit integers.

    Another natural C++ representation would be to keep the 1D vector but encapsulate the 2D vector as a struct/class. Perhaps one could even populate the entire data structure (with random one-digit integers) upon initialization.

    Re: move data from a 2D vector into a 3D vector, three times. the sizes of the 2D vec

    Assuming the OP wants a vector of random-sized matrices filled with random integers, this is my take. The matrix implementation follows the std::mdspan philosophy,

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    #include <random>
    
    template<typename T>
    class Matrix2d { // simple 2D matrix implementation
    public:
    	Matrix2d(int rows, int cols) : r_(rows), c_(cols), d_(std::vector<T>(rows* cols, {})) {}
    
    	int rows() const { return r_; }
    	int cols() const { return c_; }
    
    	T& operator() (int row, int col) { return d_[c_ * row + col]; }   // write element
    	T operator() (int row, int col) const { return d_[c_ * row + col]; }   // read element
    
    	auto begin() { return d_.begin(); }   // iterators for sequential access
    	auto end() { return d_.end(); }   // that enables use of for-each
    
    private:
    	int r_, c_;
    	std::vector<T> d_;
    };
    
    inline auto& rng() {   // randomly seeded random number generator (is a Singleton)
    	static std::mt19937 rng(std::random_device{}());
    	return rng;
    }
    
    void test() {
    	using Matrix = Matrix2d<int>;	// 2D matrix holding ints
    	std::vector<Matrix> vec3d; // vector of matrices
    
    		// initialize vec3d
    	const int cycle_count = 5;
    	std::uniform_int_distribution rowDistr(3, 10);
    	std::uniform_int_distribution colDistr(10, 20);
    	std::uniform_int_distribution amountDistr(0, 9);
    	for (int i = 0; i < cycle_count; ++i) {
    		Matrix m(rowDistr(rng()), colDistr(rng()));   // random size matrix
    		for (auto& e : m) e = amountDistr(rng());   // filled with random elements
    		vec3d.emplace_back(m);
    	}
    
    		// print vec3d
    	for (const auto& m : vec3d)  {   // all matrices
    		std::cout << "--- " << m.rows() << "," << m.cols() << " ---" << std::endl;
    		for (int r = 0; r < m.rows(); ++r) {
    			for (int c = 0; c < m.cols(); ++c) {
    				std::cout << m(r, c) << " ";
    			}
    			std::cout << std::endl;
    		}
    	}
    }
