SUMMARY
=======

The following sample code illustrates how to use the vector::push_back and
vector::pop_back STL functions in Visual C++.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Required Header
---------------

      <vector>

Prototypes
----------

      template<class _TYPE, class _A>
      void vector::push_back(const _TYPE& X);

      template<class _TYPE, class _A>
      void vector::pop_back();

NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the
header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description
-----------

The sample declares an empty vector of integers. It adds three integers to the
vector, and then deletes one. Finally, it generates the remaining elements in
the vector.

Sample Code
-----------

   ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
   // 
   // Compile options needed: /GX
   // 
   // Pushpop.cpp: Illustrates how to use the push and pop member
   //              functions of the vector container.
   // 
   // Functions:
   // 
   //    vector::push_back - Appends (inserts) an element to the end of a
   //                        vector, allocating memory for it if necessary.
   // 
   //    vector::pop_back -  Erases the last element of the vector.
   // 
   //    vector::begin - Returns an iterator to start traversal of the vector.
   // 
   //    vector::end - Returns an iterator for the last element of the vector.
   // 
   //    vector::iterator - Traverses the vector.

   }

Program Output
--------------

   theVector [ 42, 1 ]
