    Well, I thought I'd just pick one method to give you an idea:

    Python:

        def _constrain_gradient(self):
            self._gradient = [
                # Ensure values within valid range.
                (max(0.0, min(1.0, stop)), color)
                for stop, color in self._gradient
            ]
    

    C++:

    // class type declaration
    struct StopColor {
        double stop;
        QString color;
    };
    // class member declaration
    QVector<StopColor> _gradient;
    // or you might choose a `QPair` instead of my `struct`
    // and/or you might choose a `StopColor []` instead of my `QVector<StopColor>`
    
    void Gradient::_constrain_gradient()
    {
        // Ensure values within valid range.
        for (StopColor &stopColor : _gradient)
            stopColor.stop = std::max(0.0, std::min(1.0, stopColor.stop));
    }
    

    But I'm not going to offer the rest, best of luck :)

    @JonB thanks for that and i understand!

    Python

    class Gradient(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    

    is that

    C++

    class gradient : public QWidget
    

    ?

      Absolutely yes! Though we're going to go very slowly if you need to ask at each level like this question :)

      However, please follow the same convention in Python as in C++ and name your classes with an initial capital letter, class Gradient : public QWidget!

      Not sure how much it will help, but at least some of the PySide2 doc pages show the Python equivalent of the same C++ doc page, e.g. as a purely random example, compare the sample boxed code in

        @JonB

        self._gradient = sorted(self._gradient, key=lambda g:g[0])
        

        what would be the equal here in C++ ?

        im stuck at this one!

          I assumed you would be familiar with C++, given that you want to translate from Python to C++?! :)

          To sort a QVector --- or if you pick another type like std::vector --- you will want to use std::sort.

          See e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47989208/sort-qvector-of-pointers-to-custom-objects if you do the items as pointers, or I gave you struct see https://forum.qt.io/topic/47037/solved-sorting-possible-on-a-qvector-that-has-a-struct-as-elements (that is old and some posts use qSort(), I suggest following @Chris-Kawa's post at https://forum.qt.io/topic/47037/solved-sorting-possible-on-a-qvector-that-has-a-struct-as-elements/8 which uses std::sort()).

          I admit I'm not 100% sure what the Python key=lambda g:g[0] is. I think it's just picking out the first field, stop, to sort on, not on the color field!

              From a glance, it seems to me you are doing well. I hope you don't mean you are giving up having got this far? I can't spare much time, but do you want me to tell you the C++ for the couple of bits I see commented out in your .cpp?

                @JonB sadly i am giving up :/ when i ran this it gave me a shit load of errors (i know that 1 error can cause other things to error out aswell) but i couldn't figure out the error anyway so

                          I don't know what you mean here.
                          You wrote that you get errors when building the code, right?
                          So, start with the first error...

                            Hi,

                            One issue in your code is in your constructor, you are checking if the vector is empty but you have the logic reversed. You do something with it when it's actually empty.

                                  Then, if you can't figure it, show us the first line at fault and what the error message is, if you'd like help... :)

                                  BTW, it won't affect your compile behaviour, but you absolutely need to heed @SGaist's earlier observation for your run-time behaviour. Plus, I didn't follow the logic for the consequence, but you still have the commented-out initialization of the array when it's empty to deal with.

                                    After some testing, the functionality is kind of strange, not sure if thats intended behavior, or if I made a bug 🤔
                                    For you to find out I guess 😜

                                        @Kris-Revi well, it compiles for me :P

                                        remove the [[nodiscard]] attribute, its not needed, and if your compiler is not c++17 capable, no need to have it there


                                        Edit: check the repo, I updated it, inclusive a bugfix I found.
