How to Construct a vector of Tuples and Sort them like Pair?
By I_am_Heisenberg, history, 6 years ago, In English

Hi! Suppose, I have several integer elements like this:

(3 9 1), (1 5 2), (2 8 3), (1 4 4), (1 6 5), (1 5 6).

Now I want to sort the elements like vector of pairs are sorted. Only difference is that instead of 2 keys we have 3 keys here. After sorting the elements will look like:

(1 4 4), (1 5 2), (1 5 6), (1 6 5), (2 8 3), (3 9 1).

Is there any STL or other techniques to achieve this? I found out about "Tuples" but having some problems to understand this well. Can you guys help me in any way please? May be by providing useful links or Explaining the process.

Thanks.. :)

vector<array<int,3>> vec;

sort(vec.begin(), vec.end());

Write your own comparator function.

C++11 support tuple

For example:

vector<tuple<int, char, bool> > a;
int x = 1;
char y = 'a';
bool z = true;
a.push_back(make_tuple(x, y, z));

Of course you can sort vector of tuple like vector of pair:

sort(a.begin(), a.end());

To get the i-th element of a tuple, you can do like this, 

int x = get<0>(a[0]) // first element of tuple a[0]
char y = get<1>(a[0]) // second element

or you can get all elements at the same time like this:

int x;
char y;
bool z;
tie(x, y, z) = a[0];

Remember it only works with C++11.
