    Hello,

    I'm looking for dynamic container. I used QLinkedList, QList, QVector, QMap, QHash but none of them are dynamically.

    What actually I'm looking for or what I mean?
    @int b = 5;

    Container cont;
    cont[0] = b; // syntax like QMap

    b = 10;

    qDebug() << cont[0]; // Output 10@

    Define parameter with value "a"

    Add to container

    Change parameter to value "b"

    Debugging container -> output is "b"

      looking at your example why don't you just use an array of items? Doesn't really seem like you need it to be "dynamic":http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/dynamic/.

      If you have a Qlist<int> you can change the int at any valid node you want.

      @void foo()
      {
      QList<int> list_of_ints;
      list_of_ints.append(12);
      qDebug() << list_of_ints[0];
      lis_of_ints[0] = 30;
      qDebug() << list_of_ints[0];
      list_of_ints.replace(0, 42);
      qDebug() << list_of_ints[0];

      }@

      ba ba ba
      ba na na na

        Hi, you need to use pointers(or references) instead values.

        Or you can take a look at the source code of a dynamic language interpreter, such as Python, to see in which way c pointers are used.

        *b = 10;

          As 1+1=2 states, you can store pointers or references instead. Alternatively, you can store explicitly shared values in the container. There really are not much more than a nice value-based wrapper around a shared data pointer.

          Note that all Qt containers take copies of the values you put in, so you need to put a type inside your container for which the copy still represents the same underlying data: a reference, a pointer or a construct like an explicitly shared value.
