Transform a vector of int to a vector of str

Question

I'm trying to convert a vector<int> to a vector<string>. Using std::transform I used std::to_string to convert the int to string but I keep getting an error. Here's my code

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>

int main(){
    std::vector<int> v_int;
    std::vector<std::string> v_str;

    for(int i = 0;i<5;++i)
        v_int.push_back(i);

    v_str.resize(v_int.size());
    std::transform(v_int.begin(),v_int.end(),v_str.begin(),std::to_string);
}

but I'm getting this error

 no matching function for call to 'transform'
        std::transform(v_int.begin(),v_int.end(),v_str.begin(),std::to_string);

Answer 1

std::to_string is an overloaded function, so you'll need to provide a cast to disambiguate

std::transform(v_int.begin(),v_int.end(),v_str.begin(),
               static_cast<std::string(*)(int)>(std::to_string));

Or use a lambda

std::transform(v_int.begin(),v_int.end(),v_str.begin(),
               [](int i){ return std::to_string(i); });
