Thread: Dynamically allocated matrices

can anyone please reply with some code to allocate arrays on the free store, like this (but than one that can compile..):
int * a;
a = new int[100][100];

do you get what I mean?
thanks in advance

cool nick

hmm I'm probably kind of an idiot, all I can think of is:

int **a;
for(int b=0;b<10;b++)
{
a[b] = new int[10];
for(int c=0;c<10;c++)
a[b][c] = new int;
}

and that gives a runtime error

this is what I meant..

Code:

int ** matrix = new int*[a];
for (int i = 0; i < a; i++){
	matrix[a] = new int[b];
}
.
.
.
for (int i = 0; i < a; i++){
	delete[] matrix[a];
}
delete[] matrix;

thanks !
