Maybe you're getting mixed up with Java, but that example type is wrong, since you used `new`, the vector was allocated in the heap and the appropriate type is a pointer type: `vector<T>*`. What's more, that's a highly unusual example. Rarely would you need to heap allocate a vector. In the case of stack allocation the syntax would be `vector<T> myVec` which is as succinct as possible.
