For the code below, i am getting the error in title for line
while((*(It2 + code)).exists){
void locatetohashtable(std::list<Element> elist,
int *m,std::list<Element>& table,
std::list<std::string>& keylist )
{
std::list<Element>::iterator It2=table.begin();
int i=0;
int k=0;
std::list<Element>::iterator It;
for(It = elist.begin(); It != elist.end(); ++It)
{
int code=hash_func(stringIntValue((*It).name),*m,i);
while((*(It2 + code)).exists){
i++;
}
table.insert(*(It2+i), (*It));
keylist.insert(keylist.begin(),(*It).name);
k++;
}
}
I am not getting the same error for ++It
What is the problem about?
An iterator
for an std::list
is bidirectional, so it does not support +(int)
. The only supported move operations are ++
and --
.
That is because std::list
's iterators are bidirectional iterators, so they don't support the addition operation you are trying to perform. In practice, this is because it cannot be implemented as an efficient operation, since lists do not provide random access, so you'd have to step in single increments from initial iterator to the target one. The design decision is to not provide an operation what will be inefficient.
You can use std::advance
or std::next
to avoid writing your own increment loops, but under the hood it will increment step by step.
