Insert a string in a string vector

Question

Here is the code I'm trying to compile. I get this error:
no matching function for call to ‘std::vector<std::basic_string<char> >::insert(int, const char [2])’

on this line

dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.insert(2,"B");

What am I doing wrong?

C++

#include "main.hpp"
#include "vector"

using namespace std;

int test(void)
{

vector<string>dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId;

dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.push_back("A");
dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.push_back("C");

dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.insert(2,"B");
}

What I have tried:

I tried using a string variable instead of "B" and it didn't work either

The first parameter to insert is actually an iterator, rather than an integer. Therefore, if you'd like to add "B" after the other 2 elements, you can instead use:
dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.insert(dataDictionaryEntryFieldsId.end(),"B");

This would suffice an answer with a tiny bit of elaboration.

As suggested by enhzflep, it is the first parameter that doesn't fit.
Try

C++

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  vector< string > v;
  v.push_back("A");
  v.push_back("C");

  vector< string >::iterator it = v.begin() + 1;
  v.insert( it, "B");

  for (size_t n=0; n<v.size(); ++n)
    cout << v[n] << endl;

}

or, using C++11

C++

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  vector< string > v;

  v.push_back("A");
  v.push_back("C");

  auto it = v.begin() + 1;
  v.insert( it, "B");

  for (const auto & x : v)
    cout << x << endl;
}

Solution 3

I found that erase works

it=v.begin() + 1;
   v.erase(it);
