C++ STL Vectors: Get iterator from index?

Solution 1:

Try this:

vector<Type>::iterator nth = v.begin() + index;

Solution 2:

way mentioned by @dirkgently ( v.begin() + index ) nice and fast for vectors

but std::advance( v.begin(), index ) most generic way and for random access iterators works constant time too.

EDIT
differences in usage:

std::vector<>::iterator it = ( v.begin() + index );

or

std::vector<>::iterator it = v.begin();
std::advance( it, index );

added after @litb notes.
