Given a C++ STL vector and we have to change a particular element.

Changing a particular element of a vector

We can change a particular element of a C++ STL vector using following ways

Using vector::at() function
And, using vector::operator[]

Note: To use vector – include <vector> header, and to use vector::at() function and vector::operator[] – include <algorithm> header or we can simply use <bits/stdc++.h> header file.

C++ STL program to change an element of a vector

//C++ STL program to change an element of a vector

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector<int> v1{ 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };

    //printing elements
    cout << "vector elements before the change..." << endl;
    for (int x : v1)
        cout << x << " ";
    cout << endl;

    //changing element at index 1 using at()
    v1.at(1) = 100;
    //changing element at index 2 using operator[]
    v1[2] = 200;

    //printing elements
    cout << "vector elements after the change..." << endl;
    for (int x : v1)
        cout << x << " ";
    cout << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output

vector elements before the change...
10 20 30 40 50
vector elements after the change...
10 100 200 40 50
