Thread: Help with creating a dynamic array that can add and delete elements

Thank you, I now changed the code of that function to this:

Code:

string *deleteEntry(string *dynamicArray, int &size, string entryToDelete)
{	int stop;
	// create a new dynamic array 1 element smaller than dynamicArray
   string *newArray = new string[size - 1];

   // copy all elements from dynamicArray into new array
   for(int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++)
   {
       if(dynamicArray[i]!=entryToDelete)
		   newArray[i] = dynamicArray[i];
	   else 
	   {stop=i;
	   for(int i = stop; i < size-1; i++)
		   newArray[i] = dynamicArray[i+1];}
   }

   size--;

   // delete dynamicArray
   delete [] dynamicArray;

   // and return the new array
   return newArray;
}

I no longer get the error, but I now have a new problem. It deletes the entry and put the next entry in place of it like I want it to, but then prints that same entry one more time, like if had i had 12345 before and want to delete 2, I have 1334, when I want 1345. Please help me out.

Nevermind I fixed it, I used this code:

Code:

string *deleteEntry(string *dynamicArray, int &size, string entryToDelete)
{	int stop;
	// create a new dynamic array 1 element smaller than dynamicArray
   string *newArray = new string[size - 1];

   // copy all elements from dynamicArray into new array
   for(int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++)
   {
       if(dynamicArray[i]!=entryToDelete)
		   newArray[i] = dynamicArray[i];
	   else 
	   {stop=i;
	   break;}}
	 for(int i = stop; i < size-1; i++)
		   newArray[i] = dynamicArray[i+1];


   size--;

   // delete dynamicArray
   delete [] dynamicArray;

   // and return the new array
   return newArray;
}

Thank you for your help
