allocate mem for a multi-dimensional array?

How do I allocate memory for a two-dimensional array?

Code:

double* array;

array = new double[10][3];

does not work...

Code:

int main(void)
{
	double** array; //pointer to a pointer
	int x,y;

	array = new double*[10];//Set first dimentions

	for(x = 0;x < 10;x++)
		array[x] = new double[3];//Set second dimentions

	for(x = 0;x < 10;x++)
		for(y = 0;y < 3;y++)
			array[x][y] = 2.69; //Do stuff with array
			
	for(x = 0;x < 10;x++)
		for(y = 0;y < 3;y++)
			cout << array[x][y] << endl;//Show results
		
	for(x = 0;x < 10;x++)
		delete [] array[x];//Clean up!!

	delete [] array;//Clean up!!!
	
  return 0;
}

Bit long winded, but it should work......the plus to this is you can substitute the 10 & the 3 with variables, so the array can be whatever size you wish

I thought

double array[10][3];

auto allocates mem for it?

It does, but as gunne was using the new operator, I assumed he/she wanted the array to be declared on the freestore and not the stack.....
