Can you create an array of structures?

[BrandonMG]

I need to be able to to store two strings in a structure and then have 10000 of these structures. Is there a way to do this?

[Strider]

Yes. Here is one way:

struct MyStruct
{
    char String_One[255];
    char String_Two[255];
};

MyStruct myStruct[10000];

If you have basic knowledge in pointers:

typedef struct
{
    char String_One[255];
    char String_Two[255];
}MyStruct;

MyStruct* pObject;
int NumberOfElements=10000;
pObject=new MyStruct[NrOfElements];

...

delete[] pObject;

This method is great if you want to decide how many structures you want when running the program, not just when compiling.

typedef unsigned char BYTE;


Simple array of structures
struct RGB
{
BYTE red;
BYTE grn;
BYTE blu;
BYTE alpha;
};

RGB *Palette=new RGB[255];

Complex array of structures
struct Point
{
int x;
int y;
};

struct Vertex
{
double x;
double y;
double z;
};

struct Coord
{
Vertex Local;
Vertex World;
Vertex Aligned;
Point Screen;
RGB color;
};

Coord *Object=new Coord[numvertexes];

Can also be done with classes.

Oooooooops!!! Hate it when the subject of the post does not exactly match the question. But, ........uh..........yes you can create arrays of structures.
