    indefinite number of datapoints question

    Code:
    struct intArray(int size)
    {
        switch (size)
        {
            case 1: { int a0; break; }
            case 2: { int a0, a1; break;}
            case 3: { int a0, a1, a2; break; }
        }
    };
    Is there a way to keep specifying member variables in this fashion without specifying a definite number of possible variables?

    For example, when size is 250 I want 250 variables (a0 - a249).

    I realize this looks like a simple array of integers, but for my purposes an array won't work.

    look up vector. It's an STL template class that stores a variable number of any type.
