Naive Approach to Convert Vector to Array
The vector can be converted to an array by first allocating the array’s memory sufficient to accommodate all vector elements. Then we run a for loop and copy every element of the vector to the array.
Example:
C++
// C++ program to convert vector to // array using naive approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main() { vector< int > v({ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }); int n = v.size(); // Printing original vector cout<< "Vector: " ; for ( int i: v) { cout << i << ' ' ; } cout<<endl; int arr[n]; for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr[i] = v[i]; } // Printing the array cout<< "Array: " ; for ( int i: arr) { cout << i << ' ' ; } cout<<endl; return 0; } |
Output
Vector: 1 2 3 4 5 Array: 1 2 3 4 5
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
Different Ways to Convert Vector to Array in C++ STL
An array is the collection of data belonging to a primitive data type. The data in this is kept in a continuous memory location. Vectors are dynamic arrays that can be resized to meet the needs. We can convert vectors to arrays in the following ways given below.
Example:
Input : Vector: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Output: Array: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Input : Vector: [‘G’, ‘e’, ‘e’, ‘k’, ‘s’]
Output: Array: [‘G’, ‘e’, ‘e’, ‘k’, ‘s’]
