how to make dynamic array in c++ code example

Example 1: declare dynamic array c++

int main()
{
  int size;

  std::cin >> size;

  int *array = new int[size];

  delete [] array;

  return 0;
}

Example 2: 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 3: declaring 2d dynamic array c++

int** arr = new int*[10]; // Number of Students
int i=0, j;
for (i; i<10; i++) 
	arr[i] = new int[5]; // Number of Courses
/*In line[1], you're creating an array which can store the addresses
  of 10 arrays. In line[4], you're allocating memories for the 
  array addresses you've stored in the array 'arr'. So it comes out 
  to be a 10 x 5 array. */

Example 4: c++ dynamic array

new T[size]
