DESCRIPTION
The QVector class is a template collection class that
provides a vector (array).
QVector is implemented as a template class. Define a
template instance QVector<X> to create a vector that
contains pointers to X, or X*.
A vector is the same as an array. The main difference
between QVector and QArray is that QVector stores pointers
to the elements, while QArray stores the elements
themselves (i.e. QArray is value-based).
Unless where otherwise stated, all functions that remove
items from the vector will also delete the element pointed
to if auto-deletion is enabled - see setAutoDelete(). By
default, auto-deletion is disabled. This behaviour can be
changed in a subclass by reimplementing the virtual method

QVector(3qt)QVector(3qt)deleteItem().
Functions that compares items, e.g. find() and sort(),
will do so using the virtual function compareItems(). The
default implementation of this function will only compare
the absolute pointer values. Reimplement compareItems() in
a subclass to get searching and sorting based on the item
contents.
See also Collection Classes and QArray.
MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATIONQVector::QVector ()
Constructs a null vector.
See also isNull().
QVector::QVector ( const QVector<;type> & v )
Constructs a copy of v. Only the pointers are copied (i.e.
shallow copy).
QVector::QVector ( uint size )
Constructs an vector with room for size items. Makes a
null vector if size == 0.
All size positions in the vector are initialized to 0.
See also size(), resize() and isNull().
QVector::~QVector ()
Removes all items from the vector, and destroys the vector
itself.
See also clear().
type * QVector::at ( uint i ) const
Returns the item at position i, or 0 if there is no item
at that position. i must be less than size().
int QVector::bsearch ( const type * d ) const
In a sorted array, finds the first occurrence of d using
binary search. For a sorted array, this is generally much
faster than find(), which does a linear search.
Returns the position of d, or -1 if d could not be found.
d may not be 0.
Compares items using the virtual function compareItems().
See also sort() and find().
void QVector::clear () [virtual]
Removes all items from the vector, and destroys the vector
itself.
Trolltech AS 13 June 2001 2
QVector(3qt)QVector(3qt)
The vector becomes a null vector.
See also isNull().
Reimplemented from QCollection.
uint QVector::contains ( const type * d ) const
Returns the number of occurrences of item d in the vector.
Compares items using the virtual function compareItems().
See also containsRef().
uint QVector::containsRef ( const type * d ) const
Returns the number of occurrences of the item pointer d in
the vector.
This function does not use compareItems() to compare
items.
See also findRef().
uint QVector::count () const [virtual]
Returns the number of items in the vector. The vector is
empty if count() == 0.
See also isEmpty() and size().
Reimplemented from QCollection.
type ** QVector::data () const
Returns a pointer to the actual vector data, which is an
array of type*.
The vector is a null vector if data() == 0 (null pointer).
See also isNull().
bool QVector::fill ( const type * d, int size=-1 )
Inserts item d in all positions in the vector. Any
existing items are removed. If d is 0, the vector becomes
empty.
If size >= 0, the vector is first resized to size. By
default, size is -1.
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the memory cannot
be allocated (only if a resize has been requested).
See also resize(), insert() and isEmpty().
int QVector::find ( const type * d, uint i= 0 ) const
Finds the first occurrence of item d in the vector, using
linear search. The search starts at position i, which must

QVector(3qt)QVector(3qt)
be less than size(). i is by default 0; i.e. the search
starts at the start of the vector.
Returns the position of v, or -1 if v could not be found.
Compares items using the virtual function compareItems().
See also findRef() and bsearch().
int QVector::findRef ( const type * d, uint i=0 ) const
Finds the first occurrence of the item pointer d in the
vector, using linear search. The search starts at position
i, which must be less than size(). i is by default 0; i.e.
the search starts at the start of the vector.
Returns the position of d, or -1 if d could not be found.
This function does not use compareItems() to compare
items.
See also find() and bsearch().
bool QVector::insert ( uint i, const type * d )
Sets position i in the vector to contain the item d. i
must be less than size(). Any previous element in position
i is removed.
See also at().
bool QVector::isEmpty () const
Returns TRUE if the vector is empty, i.e. count() == 0,
otherwise FALSE.
See also count().
bool QVector::isNull () const
Returns TRUE if the vector is null, otherwise FALSE.
A null vector has size() == 0 and data() == 0.
See also size().
QVector<;type> & QVector::operator= ( const QVector<type> & v )
Assigns v to this vector and returns a reference to this
vector.
This vector is first cleared, then all the items from v is
copied into this vector. Only the pointers are copied
(i.e. shallow copy).
See also clear().
type * QVector::operator[] ( int i ) const
Returns the item at position i, or 0 if there is no item
Trolltech AS 13 June 2001 4
QVector(3qt)QVector(3qt)
at that position. i must be less than size().
Equivalent to at( i ).
See also at().
bool QVector::remove ( uint i )
Removes the item at position i in the vector, if there is
one. i must be less than size().
Returns TRUE unless i is out of range.
See also take() and at().
bool QVector::resize ( uint size )
Resizes (expands or shrinks) the vector to size elements.
The array becomes a null array if size == 0.
Any items in position size or beyond in the vector are
removed. New positions are initialized 0.
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the memory cannot
be allocated.
See also size() and isNull().
uint QVector::size () const
Returns the size of the vector, i.e. the number of vector
positions. This is also the maximum number of items the
vector can hold.
The vector is a null vector if size() == 0.
See also isNull(), resize() and count().
void QVector::sort ()
Sorts the items in ascending order. Any empty positions
will be put last.
Compares items using the virtual function compareItems().
See also bsearch().
type* QVector::take ( uint i )
Returns the item at position i in the vector, and removes
that item from the vector. i must be less than size(). If
there is no item at position i, 0 is returned.
In contrast to remove(), this function does not call
deleteItem() for the removed item.
See also remove() and at().
Trolltech AS 13 June 2001 5
QVector(3qt)QVector(3qt)void QVector::toList ( QGList * list ) const
Copies all items in this vector to the list list. First,
list is cleared, then all items are appended to list.
See also QList, QStack and QQueue.
