Vector of Strings: help!

[assaf2b]

I need to write a C++ program taking a vector of strings and separating out the words in each, storing them into a vector, but I don't know how. Could anyone help me please?


Template Code:

vector <string> seperateWords (vector<string> lines) {
    vector<string > words;
    
    //Separating stuff goes here

    return words;
}

Thanks in advance!

Use a stringstream to do the "dirty" work for you.
Here's a minimal (and untested) example:

std::vector<std::string> Foo(const std::string& data)
{
    std::vector<std::string> result;

    std::istringstream converter(data);
    std::string buffer;

    while(converter >> buffer)
    {
        result.push_back(buffer);
    }

    return result;
}

Thanks. Could you please explain what exactly have you done there?

What is it that you don't understand?

Everything, really. I was given this assignment in order to be accepted into a class, but I know little to nothing (as of now) regarding C++.

You can't run before you learn how to walk.
I suggest you pick up a (good) book and start reading ASAP if you want to get into that class.

Could anyone please just write, as a comment, next to each line what it's supposed to mean... as in, why is it there?

I'd highly appreciate it.

Why do you think you should be accepted into the class if you can't do the assignment?

With all due respect, that is ridiculous. No one learns programming that way, no matter what programming language is being taught.

Look at the documentation for istringstream and it should be fairly obvious what he has done there.
