How to use a "vector of vector"?

I already searched on the web for it but I didn't get satisfying results.

I want to create something like

vector< vector<int*> > test_vector;

How do i fill this vector of vector? How to access it's members? Maybe someone knows some nice tutorials on the web?

kind regards mikey

PS If you want to use some kind of a matrix, I would prefer to use only one dimensional vector and map the access (because of performance).

For example Matrix M with m rows and n columns: you can map call

M[i][j] = x to M[i*n+j] = x.

Just remember that each element of test_vector is of type vector<int*>. You would fill test_vector by filling each element vector.

You can access this just like any multi-dimensional array. See:

int *p = test_vector[0][0];

Or:

int *p = test_vector.at(0).at(0);

You fill a vector of vectors by putting vectors in it.

You access its members the same way you would any other vector.
