The Printdeck Function

Whenever you are working with vectors, it is convenient to have a function that prints the contents of the vector. We have seen the pattern for traversing a vector several times, so the following function should be familiar:

void printDeck (const pvector<Card>& deck) {
  for (int i = 0; i < deck.length(); i++) {
    deck[i].print ();
  }
}

By now it should come as no surprise that we can compose the syntax for vector access with the syntax for invoking a function.

Since deck has type pvector<Card>, an element of deck has type Card. Therefore, it is legal to invoke print on deck[i].
