is it possable to do something like this?
Just need to create an array of the structure that will be different depending on what the variable K is equal toCode:struct program { bla bla }; int main() { int K = 6; program LocalMachine[K];
can't just put 6 because the value will be different every time the prog is run.
Code:program *LocalMachine = new program[K];
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Prefer using vector for dynamic arrays:Code:std::vector<program> LocalMachine(K);
COOL
thanks!
salem.. used yours because I saw it before daved's.. how does that work exactly?
hmm.. never used vectors before..
would I need to do the std::vector or would vector work? (just wondering for future stuff)
Salem's version is called a dynamic array because you allocate space for the number of items dynamically at runtime with new. You use it pretty much the same way you would use your static array (if K was const). When you are done with a dynamic array, you must free the memory with a call to delete:The vector is the C++ version of dynamic arrays. It is a class in the standard library that handles memory management for you, and is more flexible. You just have to look up vector in your reference book/tutorial and learn a few of its methods.Code:delete [] LocalMachine;
Like with cout and cin, you must put std:: unless you have a using directive in your code. Assuming you are using <iostream>, if you don't need to put std::cout, then you don't need std::vector (vector will work).

if you are using the standard namespace thne you don't need to put std:: in front of vector.Originally Posted by Sephiroth222
Code:#include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main() { vector<int> myVect; // use your defined type instead of 'int' // Rest of program return 0; }
