If I am creating a large array such as:
would I be better off leaving this as is or should I allocate memory from the heap for it and returning it when I am done such as:Code:struct example { string word1, word2, word3, word4; int num1, num2, num3; }; example example1[100];
I think I have the syntax right?Code:example* example1 = new example[100]; //........ delete example1;

yes, since you normally have less stack space available than heap space. when using dynamic arrays remember that you must use 'delete [] example1' to ensure the destructor is called for each object in the array.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
I would use a vector instead. This puts the memory on the heap, but manages the memory for you and calls the destructors automatically.
