Re: Python to C++ conversion substituting vectors for lists in a recursive function

I didn't look at the original code but i you should know that passing vectors directly (i.e by value) to functions is not a good idea (results in big copy), its better to use `const vector<> &` or `vector<> &` (i.e. by reference). In general you should try to reduce the number of vector coping to

oddness in string.find(sub,somestring)
