It then calls a function and runs more code. Once done with that I want to delete that choosen element they picked, but im having trouble with that.At first I tried player.player_inventory.erase(choice) but it requires an iterator to the element and not an int (I know that .erase() is not the best for performance, but performance is not going to be an issue in a console game)I then tried assigning a iterator to the inventory vector and used the choice variable to assisign it to that element. The compiler tells me: error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>' (or there is no acceptable conversion)Here is the line of code I tried: potion_iter = player.player_inventory.at(choice);This program is a training exercise and I have not covered clasees / templates an alot of other things so I was a bit hard pressed to try make an alternative. Help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any help given.    
  Try yourvector.erase(yourvector.begin() + index);   ;  Thank you for that, worked like a charm. I don't know how I didin't think of it, it's fairly simple. I guess my mind hasn't been clear these past few days.   ;  Another question, say I want to acsess the last element in the vector (using at()) and I want to print it, how would I go about doing this.   ;std::cout << yourvector.back() << std::endl;;  Ahh thank you, I was typing player.player_inventory.at(player.player_inventory.back())So mines was wrong. :)
