STL stack queue

[razzle]

how can I use the function members of the container vector in the next code?

The second parameter of a stack definition allows you to define which container the stack is supposed to use internally. The default is a deque and you can change it to for example a vector as you suggest.

But this doesn't influence the stack interface, it will remain the same. A stack is a stack. But the properties of the stack will reflect that of the internal container. For example a deque and a vector handles memory differently when they grow/shrink and the stack will adopt the respective behaviour.

I recommend The C++ Standard Library, second edition, by Josuttis as a very good reference for topics like this.
