vector of classes in C++

I am trying to fill vector of classes using the class constructor but I am getting compilation error:

1>c:\users\admin\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\file_io_and_main_argv\file_io_and_main_argv\file_io_argv.cpp(121): error C2663: 'std::vector<_Ty>::push_back' : 2 overloads have no legal conversion for 'this' pointer

The code I am using in the main program of C++ for Class Player is:

const vector<Player> players;  // vector list of players

  players.push_back(Player(ID,pname,WINS,LOSSES,POSX,POSY));  //insert player into vector of players

The error is on the point "." between players and push_back.

Your players vector is declared as a const:

const vector<Player> players;

const means exactly that: constant. You can't change it. Can't push_back(), can't erase() existing elements in the vector, can't do anything to change the contents of the vector.

Remove the const keyword from the declaration.

You cannot modify const vector. Remove const in const vector<Player> players;
