All this reading has made me realize how badly I need my glasses. I'm soooo glad I'm getting contacts tomorrow. And the "Mapping Lists" feature of Python is voodoo magic. Why does this not exist in C++? (And how did I go for so long without it?

>>> li = [1, 9, 8, 4] 
>>> [elem*2 for elem in li] 
[2, 18, 16, 8] 
>>> li 
[1, 9, 8, 4] 
>>> li = [elem*2 for elem in li] 
>>> li 
[2, 18, 16, 8]

li = [elem*2 for elem in li]

for(int i=0; i< li.size(); i++) li[i]*=2;
