	using namespace std;

	// Create a vector and add an element to it
	vector<int> qVector;
	qVector.push_back(5);

	// Assign a reference and output the element
	vector<int>::const_iterator qIter = qVector.begin();
	vector<int>::const_reference qRef = (*qIter);
	cout << "qRef refers to " << qRef << endl;

	// Keep the window open
	cin.get();
	return 0;
}
