Arrays

[Unregistered]

Please do not get offended , just started taking C++ seriously (about time).
all that i wanna know is. Is there a function to help check on the arrays lenght ? something like:

char array[100];

while(int i= 0; i < array.length(); i++)
{}

i'm sure there's something like this, but i simply cannot find.

thanks in advance for your time, and i promisse that tomorrow i'll go out and buy myself a really good book on C++

1976.

I keep wanting to say strlen, but I'm not sure if there's another one for C++. Anyway, strlen should work.

int main(){
  int array1[5];
  int array2[10];

  if(strlen(array1) < strlen(array2)){
    \*do stuff*\
  }
  return 0;
}

Though something about that isn't right to me, I wish I had K&R with me to double check...oh well, try it and see. I'm 99.9% sure that's it
I think array.length is java code, not C++.

You can do -

sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0])

to obtain the length.

That's what I was trying to think of, sizeof(). Thanks zen, I was just short of pulling my hair out for not being able to remember something I knew was simple. Though it's always the simple ones that catch us off guard, right?
