Our C++ interview questions come with detailed explanation of the answers which helps in better understanding of C++ concepts.

Here is a listing of C++ interview questions on “Vector” along with answers, explanations and/or solutions:

1. What do vectors represent?
a) Static arrays
b) Dynamic arrays
c) Stack
d) Queue
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Vectors are sequence containers representing arrays that can change in size.

2. In which type of storage location are the vector members stored?
a) Contiguous storage locations
b) Non-contiguous storage locations
c) Contiguous & Non-contiguous storage locations
d) Memory storage locations
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Vectors use contiguous storage locations for their elements, which means that their elements can also be accessed using offsets on regular pointers to its elements

3. How many vector container properties are there in c++?
a) 1
b) 2
