    Wow, interesting... I guess the only difference is one keystroke, but I am just surprised. What kind of programming do you do? Ryan Johnston

        Congrats to Christian Graus for thinking up the QOTD. I believe this is the first one I've seen from a CPian. Of course, I can't answer because I haven't a clue when it comes to STL. So I'll just leave the answering of it to the rest of you. :) David Stone It seemed similar to someone saying, "Would you like to meet my knife collection?" Ryan Johnston on Elaine's sig

        The answer is C) (*it) is the value, so &(*it) is the address of the value. Or did I miss something? I vote pro drink :beer:

              Looking into the MSDN can open eyes! iterator overloads operator*. plain and simple. Somehow the STL trys to use references wherever possible.

                        iterator is a struct. now operator* returns the value (if I understood that right). so you need it.operator*().menuItem or (*it).menuItem. This has nothing to do with any pointer syntax.

                          but it has a lot to do with precedence. overloading an operator, such as "*" doesn't change its precedence. -c

                                are you 100% sure of that?

                                #include <vector>

                                myvec.push_back(sc(10));
                                myvec.push_back(sc(40));
                                myvec.push_back(sc(60));
                                myvec.push_back(sc(15));

                                myvec.push_back(sc(11));

                                for (std::vector<sc>::iterator it = myvec.begin(); it!=myvec.end(); it++)
                                {
                                if ((*it).v != it->v)
                                {

                                }

                                    I don't know anything about STL, what is an STL iterator? Having said that the only option that look reasonable is D (although other options are possible if iterators have overloaded operators). Ryan Johnston

                                      myvec.push_back(sc(60));
                                      myvec.push_back(sc(15));
                                      myvec.push_back(sc(13));
                                      myvec.push_back(sc(11));

                                      for (std::vector<sc>::iterator it = myvec.begin(); it!=myvec.end(); it++)
                                      {
                                      if ((*it).v != it->v)
                                      {
                                      printf("%d != %d\n", (*it).v, it->v);
                                      }
                                      }
                                      return 0;
                                      }

                                      cause this works fine. -c

                                      I'm sorry, I forgot they implemented the operator-> too (argh! operator overloading begins to suck ;)

                                        Clickety.I choose a random iterator type, but they all behave the same.

                                          Congrats to Christian Graus for thinking up the QOTD. I believe this is the first one I've seen from a CPian. Of course, I can't answer because I haven't a clue when it comes to STL. So I'll just leave the answering of it to the rest of you. :) David Stone It seemed similar to someone saying, "Would you like to meet my knife collection?" Ryan Johnston on Elaine's sig

                                          Ahh, my brain is switched off. For that past few days I've been going though interfaces/abstract classes and coding COM objects in pure C++, to gain a better understanding. Now I think I know this one, as I use them quite a bit, but I've not got the energy to make sure. brain is mush, and I've just finished watching Lord 'o' the Rings. I'm battered, and I think I'm going to have another glass of wine...... :-D(stupid grin)
