Hi,
I have a class which has a private attribute vector rectVec;
class A {
private:
vector<Rect> rectVec;
};
My question is how can I return a 'read-only' copy of my Vector? I am thinking of doing this:
class A {
public:
const vect<Rect>& getRectVec() { return rectVect; }
}
Is that the right way? I am thinking this can guard against the callee modify the vector(add/delete Rect in vector), what about the Rect inside the vector?
