Is there any way of passing vectors as arguments in a function? It can be done with strings. If it is possible, can it be done with pointers?

Or I am obliged to stick with passing each time the vector's contents?

Well... why don't you just do it

. I recommend using references, because that is a little faster.

OMG OMG... Wrong typing. This post was made because I was trying to figure out what was wrong for 1 hour, and all the time I put 'vector a' instead of defining it's type. I am stupid and I hope this thread is deleted soon.

No reason for it to be deleted. Congrats on figuring it out.

My stupidity knows no bounds. I have used vectors in many programs, but I guess not having your brain working right is part of the learning procedure at some point....

If your brain's working right, what the hell are you doing coding? :p

Trying to prove otherwise.
