One Minute Evaluations for 3-5 February

CS 509 - Advanced Programming II

• Topic: Generic programming, STL, vectors.

• Topic: We talked about the STL and the vectors.

  Question: Do elements (if they are objects) of a vector have to overload the == operator for the vector == operator to work?

  One minute response: Yes; part of the definition of vector equality is pair-wise element equality (the other part is the same number of elements in both vectors).

• Topic: STL vectors, for stages of STL acceptance.

  Question: Do you care how big our function stack size gets in Assignment 2?

  One minute response: Right off hand, this question seems more appropriate for Assignment 1, but no, as long as your program don't run out of stack space or take hours to run, I don't care.

• Topic: Containers in STL; vector details; generic programming.

  Question: What is the difference between adaptors and containers?

  One minute response: Adaptors need to have a container to work with, but containers can work without adaptors.

• Topic: STL, vectors.

• Topic: STL, vectors.

  Question: When we use #include <vector>, are we using SaferSTL? How to use SaferSTL?

  One minute response: You're using SaferSTL when you give the -I option with the director containing the SaferSTL files. You use SaferSTL just like you use any other implementation of the STL.
