    dynamic 2d-array

    Hi All,

    While running the below code i am getting
    Error like :-

    In member function ‘void Matrix::get_element(int, int, int)’:
    cons_2d_array.cpp:13:9: error: invalid types ‘int[int]’ for array subscript
    cons_2d_array.cpp: In member function ‘int& Matrix: put_element(int, int)’:
    cons_2d_array.cpp:16:23: error: invalid types ‘int[int]’ for array subscript
    cons_2d_array.cpp: In constructor ‘Matrix::Matrix(int, int)’:
    cons_2d_array.cpp:23:18: error: cannot convert ‘int**’ to ‘int*’ in assignment
    cons_2d_array.cpp:25:28: error: invalid conversion from ‘int*’ to ‘int’ [-fpermissive]

    Code:
    
    class Matrix
    {
            int *p;
            int d1,d2;
        public:
            Matrix()
            {d1=0;d2=0;}
            Matrix(int x,int y);
    
    
            void get_element(int i, int j, int value)
            {p[i][j]=value;}
    
    
            int & put_element(int i, int j)
            {return p[i][j];}
    };
    
    
    Matrix :: Matrix(const int x, const int y)
    {
            d1=x;
            d2=y;
            p = new int *[d1];
            for(int i=0; i<d1; i++)
               p[i]= new int[d2];
    }

    Stop. Have you considered the use of a std::vector instead of manual memory management of a dynamic array?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    So, if I want to get the value of an element, I use put_element(), and if I want to set the value I use get_element()?
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    Assuming this is some exercise (use vectors as laserlight says, if this is real code), your member variable needs to be

    Code:
            int **p;
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
