Python List Type Container In C++?

[LtStaffel]

Hello,

In Python you can do something like:

 

myList = ["firstItem", "secondItem"]
myList.append("thirdItem")
print (myList)

 

and it would return something like:

 

["firstItem", "secondItem", "thirdItem"]

 

Now my point in saying that is because I am trying to do the same type of thing in C++, but can't find a way to. I'd basically like to define an empty list, (or array is the closest thing I could find upon Googling), and then be able to later add to it any amount of items I like.

People say it is impossible to add items to an array during runtime, and to use vectors, but I'm not sure they would even necessarily do what I can in Python.

 

What do you all suggest I do?

 

I'd write this in Python but C++ compiles to .exes much more easily, (I don't want to set up py2win32exe or whatever), and I feel that this type of skill is a good one to have if I'm going to write C++.

 

Thanks in advance!

Use a vector.
