Re: Why does the [] operator in vector behave as it does?

Thank you elJay .
I remember using the assignment operator but had forgotten why. My code 
is a bit rusty.

Thank you Ted.
I was going to look at smart pointers when I did a code clean-up. I have 
the boost libraries, but don't want to introduce too much new code all 
at once. Are they fairly easy to incorporate into existing code, or is 
this too pervasive a coding paradigm requiring an entire rework.
