[Solved] vector definition in struct (c++)

Question

The problem are as followings:

(corrected in OP question) myVector is defined const
myVector.push_back(1); is not in any function body.
(corrected in OP question) Value passed to myVector.push_back(1); is int but vector is of type string

Change it as following. See example program working here:

#include "string"
#include "vector"
#include "iostream"

using namespace std;

struct Board {
    vector<string> myVector;

    void push_back(string val)
    {
        myVector.push_back(val);
    }

    void print()
    {
        for (auto it = myVector.begin(); it != myVector.end(); ++it)
            cout << " | " << *it;
    }
};

int main()
{
    Board b;
    b.push_back("Value 1");
    b.push_back("Value 2");

    b.print();

    return 0;
}

UPDATE:

(can you actually use push_back for a vector in a struct without creating an extra function?)

No. structure can have only data members and member functions. but you can use initializer-list to initialize vector as following:

vector<string> myVector{"IVal 1", "IVal 1"};

If you wants to put the initlize value always at the end then use vector.insert() instead of vector.push_back().
