Compiler error at line 30 when trying to output vector

Question

I'm just starting to take C++ courses online and right now, I'm doing vectors. Can someone please tell me what I did wrong on line 30 and 31? I can't seem to output what is in vector_2d at index 0 and 1. Thanks!

# include <iostream>
# include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector <int> vector1 {};
    vector <int> vector2 {};

    vector1.push_back(10);
    vector1.push_back(20);

    cout << vector1.at(0) << endl;
    cout << vector1.at(1) << endl;
    cout << vector1.size() << endl;



    vector2.push_back(100);
    vector2.push_back(200);

    cout << vector2.at(0) << endl;
    cout << vector2.at(1) << endl;

    vector <vector <int>> vector_2d {};

    vector_2d.push_back(vector1);
    vector_2d.push_back(vector2);

    cout << vector_2d.at(0) << endl;
    cout << vector_2d.at(1) << endl;
    
    return 0;
}

Update, I've copied and pasted below most of the complete error output, I'm limited to 30,000 characters. :

Please [edit] your question to add a comment on the line you get the error, And please copy-paste the *full* and *complete* error output into the question. — Some programmer dude, Dec 13 '21 at 07:50
As a (probable) hint: What type of object will e.g. `vector_2d.at(0)` return? And is there a stream output operator `<<` overload for that type? — Some programmer dude, Dec 13 '21 at 07:51
The compiler error, while probably looking like gibberish to you, actually contains a precise description of the problem. It's a good idea to practice reading error messages. And if you are writing a question about an error message, it's best to include the entire message for those of us who do read it. — paddy, Dec 13 '21 at 07:54

The elements of the vector vector_2d are in turn objects of the type std::vector<int>.

vector <vector <int>> vector_2d {};

There is no standard overloaded operator << for vectors. So the compiler issues error messages for these statements

cout << vector_2d.at(0) << endl;
cout << vector_2d.at(1) << endl;

You could use the range based for loop to output elements of the vectors as for example

for ( const auto &item : vector_2d.at(0) )
{
    std::cout << item << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';

for ( const auto &item : vector_2d.at(1) )
{
    std::cout << item << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';

Otherwise you need to overload the operator << for the class std::vector<int> yourself as for example

$include <iostream>
#include <vector>

std::ostream &operator <<( std::ostream &os, const std::vector<int> &v )
{
    for (const auto &item : v)
    {
        os << item << ' ';
    }

    return os;
}

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    std::cout << v << '\n';
}

And call the operator like

std::cout << vector_2d.at(0) << '\n';

Pay attention to that this initialization of the vectors

vector <int> vector1 {};
vector <int> vector2 {};

is redundant and has no effect. You could just write

vector <int> vector1;
vector <int> vector2;

In the both cases empty vectors are defined.

Bear in mind that for your program there is no great sense to use the member function at. You could use the subscript operator like

vector_2d[0]

Otherwise when you are using the member function at when it is better to enclose it in a try-catch block.

vector_2d is of type std::vector<std::vector<int>>, so vector_2d.at(0) and vector_2d.at(1) is of type std::vector. Since std::cout don't know how to print an object of type std::vector<int>, it gives an error.

If you want to print the whole vector, do:

for(const auto &i : vector_2d.at(0))
{
    std::cout << i << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n'
for(const auto &i : vector_2d.at(1))
{
    std::cout << i << ' ';
}

I changed:

cout << vector_2d.at(0) << endl;
cout << vector_2d.at(1) << endl;

to:

cout << vector_2d.at(0).at(0) << " " << vector_2d.at(0).at(1) << endl;
cout << vector_2d.at(1).at(0) << " " << vector_2d.at(1).at(1) << endl;

Thanks all!
