It is illegal because C++ requires compile-time constant values to be used for the array size when you declare a local array like you did. If you use a dynamic array (with new), then you can give it a variable size.
Since the OP mentioned "pure c", it was not a bad suggestion, it is legal in C, but since this is a C++ forum, it just needs to be noted that it is not (yet) legal in C++ and many compilers won't allow it.
Damn that takes that reason out of the park thanks that gave me a bit more understanding wy its illegal I guess I learend something new over something else lol.
Looking beyond legality, there are many articles on the difference between runtime memory and compile-time memory. You should look into them as that information is quite essential to programming.

If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore.Want to add some scripting to your App?
Are you guys kidding me Dude Get off this topic It dosent take that long to learn something maybe you to but not to me so damn If you guys have any dignaty get off my back.
