    C++ arrays, sorting

    I have to write a C++ program that will sort an array, check for duplicates, and delete the duplicates:
    i.e: a[0]='a', a[1]='b', a[2]='a', a[3]='c'. After sorting, I would have:
    a[0]='a', a[1]='b', a[2]='c'.

    I can load the array and have found several examples of how to sort, but cannot find out how to compare as well as change the array size or index. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Kyle.

    1) learn dynamic memory allocation (new, delete)
    2) use the vector header file (the vector class) thats the easy way out... ;x

    elements of a an array couldnt be deleted because th size of an array is fixed (thats why nextus recommended vectors,as its size could change dynamically in run time) )
    Programming is a high logical enjoyable art for both programer and user !!

    yes...but please do learn what the vector class (header file) is doing because its very important...dynamic memory allocation is no joke!
