I'm just starting to work with the STL and I've been working with the list
class.
I've had some problems with the iterators, though.

I'm trying to select, say, the tenth element in a list.

    list<int> *foo;
    for(int i = 0;i < 100;i++) foo.push_back(i);

    list<int>::iterator p = foo.begin() + 10;    // error


This won't compile, giving for a reason that there's no match for:
    operator +(class list<int>::iterator, int)


I have had success with incrementing p ten times:
    for(int i = 0;i < 10;i++) p++;


Is there a way to do this more easily or something that I'm doing wrong
here?

Thanks!
