When we use a complicated container in C++, like



std::vector<std::map<std::string, std::set<std::string>>> table;


The only way to add an empty map (which may represent a row or column) is to initialize a new element and push it back. For example with



table.push_back(std::map<std::string, std::set<std::string>>());


Is there any way to avoid redeclaring the type, and just adding the correct typed element?

            You can take advantage of copy-list-initialization (since C++11) and just write



            table.push_back();

              Before C++11 sometimes I use x.resize(x.size()+1), in C++11 or later you can use x.push_back().

                Though the other answers are correct, I will add that if you couldn't take that approach, you could have benefitted from declaring some type aliases to shorten that container type name.



                I can of course only guess at the logical meaning of your containers, which is another thing that this fixes!



                 using PhilosopherNameType = std::string;
                using NeighboursType = std::set<PhilosopherNameType>;
                using NeighbourMapType = std::map<PhilosopherNameType, NeighboursType>;

                std::vector<NeighbourMapType> table;
                table.push_back(NeighbourMapType());


                I mention this because you can likely still benefit from this in other places.

                                        Though the other answers are correct, I will add that if you couldn't take that approach, you could have benefitted from declaring some type aliases to shorten that container type name.



                                        I can of course only guess at the logical meaning of your containers, which is another thing that this fixes!



                                         using PhilosopherNameType = std::string;
                                        using NeighboursType = std::set<PhilosopherNameType>;
                                        using NeighbourMapType = std::map<PhilosopherNameType, NeighboursType>;

                                        std::vector<NeighbourMapType> table;
                                        table.push_back(NeighbourMapType());


                                        I mention this because you can likely still benefit from this in other places.
