How to return a vector of structs of a function in c++

I am trying to return a vector of structs from my class, but am getting a few errors. This is what i have setup so far:

class trial{

   public:
    struct coords{
      double x,y,z;
    };
    vector<coords> trial::function(vector <double> x1, vector <double> x2);
};

std:vector<coords> function(vector <double> x1, vector <double> x2){

    some math.....
    vector <coords> test;
    return test;
}

The error comes at the st::vector.... saying coords was not defined. Any thoughts?

Solution

  • You mean, in out-of-class definition? It should be (provided you're using std::vector;)

    vector<trial::coords> trial::function(vector <double> x1, vector <double> x2){

    In in-class declaration earlier, qualification trial:: is not needed.
