Array of strings? How???

I am new to C++ and trying to learn on my own. How do I go about setting up an array of strings?

Code:

---


#include <string.h>

const int MaxStrings = 10;    // constant global variable...

int main()
{

  string ArrayOfStrings[MaxStrings];    // creates an array of 10
                                        // strings...
 
  return 0;

}

---

hope this helps...

aren't you supposed to use header files without the .h whenever possible? (newest standard of C++).

you don't have to, --- the word "standard" doesn't force you to do so, and it won't hurt you if you don't...


but if you insist:

Code:

---


 #include <iostream>
 using namespace std;

Thanks a bunch!

I will put it to use

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector<string> MyStrArray;    // Dynamically sized array of string objects.

    // Insert some string objects into the array, it will grow as needed.

    MyStrArray.push_back("dog");  // This is MyStrArray[0]
    MyStrArray.push_back("cat");  // This is MyStrArray[1]
    MyStrArray.push_back("turtle");  // This is MyStrArray[2]
    MyStrArray.push_back("rabbit"); // This is MyStrArray[3]

    // Output array of strings, one entry on each line.

    vector<string>::iterator it;
    for( it = MyStrArray.begin(); it != MyStrArray.end(); it++ )
        cout << *it << endl;

    return 0;

}

>>vector<string> MyStrArray;

Using typedefs is better, someties you encounter problems with using the std namespace and vector classes in the same program.

typedef std::vector<string> StringVector;
