Adding More Array Elements?

On PHP, you can add more elements to your array with different methods. My preferred method is:

PHP Code:

---

person[1] = "James";
person[2] = "Andy";

person[] = "Nick"; //Notice there is no number inside the brackets. That's how I add elements to my arrays on PHP.

Can I do something similar with C++? Or how can I add more elements to my arrays?

Easy... use a std::vector instead of an array.

Closest thing to a PHP associative array in C++ is the Standard Template Library's map container. However, even that requires an actual key, so cpjust is right; for the example you've provided, an STL vector would probably make more sense:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> myArray;

    myArray.push_back("James");
    myArray.push_back("Andy");
    myArray.push_back("Nick");

    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < myArray.size(); ++i)
    {
        std::cout << "Element " << i << ": " << myArray[i] << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
