A quick question on arrays.

**Junon** · 09-02-2002

Hi, just learning c++ here and i'm having a problem with arrays.
I can't seem to make an array with more than 200,000 slots without somesort of runtime error. It compiles fine, but messes up when I try to run the program. Was just wondering if someone can figure out what i'm doing wrong.

code like this:

====================================

unsigned long int array[2000000]; //would give me an error

unsigned long int array[200000]; //won't give me an error

====================================

if anyone can help me with this i'd be very thankful.
(and no it isnt a lack of ram, i have 1gig)

I am using a 32-bit compiler. Its microsoft visual c++ 6.0, running on a win2k box. The program itself times sorted array searchs using a linear search and a bi-linear search. While I know which runs faster just by using the Big-oh algorythm. The problem is that i need a sizable array to be able to to get any time over 0s using either of the array search methods. Anyway, its just driving me nuts that i cant get the program to run without a runtime error.
