Example

vectordemo.pas
program VectorDemo;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses Classes, SysUtils, GContnrs;

type
  TMyVector = class(specialize TGenVector<Integer>)
    function DefaultItemToString(const Item: Integer) : String; override;   { 1 }
    function DefaultCompareItems(const A, B: Integer) : Integer; override;  { 2 }
  end;

function TMyVector.DefaultItemToString(const Item: Integer) : String;
begin
  WriteStr(Result, Item);
end;

function TMyVector.DefaultCompareItems(const A, B: Integer) : Integer;
begin
  Result := A - B;
end;

var
  Vect : TMyVector;
  I, J : Integer;
begin
  Randomize;

  Vect := TMyVector.Create;

  for I := 1 to 10 do
  begin
    J := Random(20);
    Vect.Append(J);
  end;
  WriteLn('Vect=', Vect.ToString);

  Vect.Sort;
  WriteLn('Vect=', Vect.ToString);

  Vect.Shuffle;
  WriteLn('Vect=', Vect.ToString);

  for J in Vect do
    Write(J, ' ');
  WriteLn;

  Vect.Free;
end.
1 DefaultItemToString is used by the ToString method to convert a vector item to a string.
2 DefaultCompareItems is used to compare 2 items (A and B). The returned value should be negative if A < B, 0 if A = B and positive if A > B.

To run this program use :

user$ fpc vectordemo
user$ ./vectordemo

The result should be something like :

Vect=[9, 12, 15, 5, 7, 15, 9, 10, 14, 0]
Vect=[0, 5, 7, 9, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 15]
Vect=[12, 5, 15, 9, 7, 9, 0, 10, 14, 15]
12 5 15 9 7 9 0 10 14 15
