how can i determine the size?
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
struct inventory_items
{
int code,quantity,reorder_level;
char name[20], item[3];
double price;
};
inventory_items record[2000];
Question: What should I do to allow the user to enter the size of the array for inventory_items record himself instead of me specifying the size? Thanks!

Code:#include <vector> ... std::vector<inventory_items> itemVec;
i would suggest you creata a pointer inside the struct...
Code:#include <iostream> #include <cctype> using namespace std; struct inventory_items { int code,quantity,reorder_level; char name[20], item[3]; double price; }; int main() { inventory_items *record; int num=100; \\ this can be accepted fro the user.. record=new inventory_items[num]; \\will create an array of 100 return 0; }
But make sure you clear up the memory by using delete..
