Initializing struct vector with brace-enclosed initializer list

Question

I initialize normal-type vectors like this:

vector<float> data = {0.0f, 0.0f};

But when I use structure instead of normal-type

struct Vertex
{
    float position[3];
    float color[4];
};
vector<Vertex> data = {{0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}};

I get error could not convert '{{0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}, {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}}' from '<brace-enclosed initializer list>' to 'std::vector<Vertex>'. What's wrong with this?

Answer 1

A set of {} is missing:

std::vector<Vertex> data =
{ // for the vector
    { // for a Vertex
        {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f},      // for array 'position'
        {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f} // for array 'color'
    },
    {
        {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f},
        {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f}
    }
};
