Thread: Working with dynamic memory in C++

Sounds like a class assignment, right?

But i don't know how to do this without using vectors or lists...

A basic vector is pretty easy to implement. Look for tutorials. You should be able to find one.

Once you have that, just solve it how you would have done with std::vector. After all, they can't fault you for properly encapsulating your dynamic memory management, can they?

hey CornedBee, thanks for the fast reply ;-)

yap! it's a class assignment :-S

i don't really know if they mean i can't use the std::vector, or both (basic vector and std::vector). I have to ask them.

Anyway, can std::set be used as an alternative to std::vector? Or am i saying something really stupid? :-S
