Array of strings? How???
I am new to C++ and trying to learn on my own. How do I go about setting up an array of strings?
Code:#include <string.h> const int MaxStrings = 10; // constant global variable... int main() { string ArrayOfStrings[MaxStrings]; // creates an array of 10 // strings... return 0; }
hope this helps...

aren't you supposed to use header files without the .h whenever possible? (newest standard of C++).
you don't have to, --- the word "standard" doesn't force you to do so, and it won't hurt you if you don't...
but if you insist:
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std;

Thanks a bunch!
I will put it to use
Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main() { vector<string> MyStrArray; // Dynamically sized array of string objects. // Insert some string objects into the array, it will grow as needed. MyStrArray.push_back("dog"); // This is MyStrArray[0] MyStrArray.push_back("cat"); // This is MyStrArray[1] MyStrArray.push_back("turtle"); // This is MyStrArray[2] MyStrArray.push_back("rabbit"); // This is MyStrArray[3] // Output array of strings, one entry on each line. vector<string>::iterator it; for( it = MyStrArray.begin(); it != MyStrArray.end(); it++ ) cout << *it << endl; return 0; }

>>vector<string> MyStrArray;
Using typedefs is better, someties you encounter problems with using the std namespace and vector classes in the same program.
typedef std::vector<string> StringVector;
