It's just a nonstandard way to write vec[i]. I mean, it's weird, but
it's not actually wrong. :-)
Sure. The point I was making is that the variable i was being
incremented up to a ceiling value
which was determined by a function parameter, i.e. you're trusting
whoever calls your function
to get the value of this parameter correct. Much safer to iterate
with a vector:
for (size_t i = 0, length = vec.size(); i < length; ++i) {
do something with vec[i];
}
Cheers,
David.
