create a new array c++ code example

Example 1: how to dynamically allocate an array c++

int* a = NULL;   // Pointer to int, initialize to nothing.
int n;           // Size needed for array
cin >> n;        // Read in the size
a = new int[n];  // Allocate n ints and save ptr in a.
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
    a[i] = 0;    // Initialize all elements to zero.
}
. . .  // Use a as a normal array
delete [] a;  // When done, free memory pointed to by a.
a = NULL;     // Clear a to prevent using invalid memory reference.

Example 2: 1d fixed length arrays c++

void initarr(int arrgender[TOT_MALE][TOT_FEMALE])
  {
      for(int a =0; a < TOT_MALE;a++)
      {
          for(int b = 0; b < TOT_FEMALE;b++)
          {
              arrgender[a][b] = 0;
          }
      }
