Arrays:

Code:

---

int myArray[10]; //starts an integer array with 11 elements
//because arrays start at 0
myArray[3] = 10;
//puts 10 into myArray[3] (the fourth element
for(int i=0; i<11; i++)
    myArray[i] = i;
//fills up my array with numbers
for(i=0;i<11;i++)
    cout<<myArray[i]<<endl;
//writes out all the elements of myArray
//easier than writing
//cout<<myArray[0];
//cout<<myArray[1];
//ect

thanks for the help on arrays anyone on strings or classes??

classes (and structs for that matter) are simply a collection of different data types. They may also include class-specific functions which are only used when handling class objects. Time for a quick example...

Code:

---

class Person
{
public:
  char firstName[ 30 ];
  char lastName[ 30 ]
  int age;
};

---

That is a very simple class. The bit that says public means that the data can be accessed from outside the class, eg:

Code:

---

void main( )
{
  Person me;
  me.firstName = "bob";    //uses the . operator to access the different bits of the Person class
  me.lastName = "builder";
  me.age = 100;
}

Thast just the beginning really, if you want more just ask - theres loads to know about classes :)
