Changing std::list to std::vector may have unintended consequences, did you validate your code actually works in all scenarios?

They use it like a vector; the original authors did not know that a list is actually a linked list. I also changed std::list to std::vector in main.cpp for my first PR and everything worked the same.

Edit: everything was tested and everything works
