<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">So I'm doing a bit of Thorium programming on the plane flight back and I have run into a bit of an obstacle with respect to core structures. I know that the purpose of vector.c is probably similar to the equivalents in STL and Java. I basically need to send a vector (list) of integers. But then I need to remove items from the list (one at a time) and send the rest of the integers onto another actor.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I am wondering whether it is better to use vector than queue, especially when you want to remove items. There don't seem to be convenience methods for removing an item from a vector (although there is a way to get an item, after which I could do a resize). I'm willing to do some work to extend the vector interfaces, but I am also wondering whether I should just use a queue, since there are appropriate methods of enqueueing an dequeueing items.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I prefer to use vector, primarily because it is convenient to use it when doing a Thorium send.
