Thread: Entering size of an array

I am trying to write a program to allow a user to enter the order (size) of a group of objects, then name them.
I have tried using an array but this requires a fixed size.
I have also tried setting up new variables each time in a loop, but I cannot find a way to find a new name for the variables each time the loop goes round.
I have also tried what is suggested on this page but the program didn't compile because it didn't like my declaration:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int order;
    cout <<"CREATE GROUP\nEnter order of G: ";
    cin>>order;
    cin.ignore();
    cout<<"order of group is "<<order<<"\nEnter name of identity element (e.g. e, 1 or 0): ";
    class *names;//HERE
    names=new class [<<order<<];
    cin>>*names[0];
    cin.ignore();

The computer complains where I marked, 'invalid type in declaration before ';' token'

Any suggestions?
