Use std::vector instead of an array.

To be more clear, there is no function to find the size of an array, since an array is just a glorified pointer. You have to manually keep track of the size of the array yourself.

Oh - use a vector ;)

Dude, you want to tell me why in all your C++ posts you use std::  ? Just put 

using namespace std;

because its more standard.. if we simply told them to use vector, then they'll come back saying it doesnt work and blah blah.. but if u use std::vector, then it'll work no matter what, plus it keeps the file size down

Lots of stuff lives in the std namespace.  I don't want all of it my namespace.

How about showing us what you do have, or even describing what you're actually trying to accomplish.
