Simple question about vectors
Author
My reference says that functions like at() and resize() takes a parameter of type size_type. How do I know what size_type is for my compiler and will it be different if I use other compilers?

size_t is defined in stdlib.h I believe, so just look in the file.
He is reffering to size_type which is defined in the std::vector container.
Fold, to answer your question, size_type is defined as a type that can hold any value smaller than the maximum size that a vector container can be for the specific type of objects that it is to hold. Did that make sense? Perhaps someone can explain this better...

No, an unsigned integral type.

He means size_type in the vector type as was stated. However, size_t is defined in cstddef in the std namespace.
