hi,

in turbo C the maximum array size i am able to specify is array[250][250]..
what should i do to enlarge this size to say..array[512][512]..
i dont know a thing about memory allocation,
so please help me out/.. :-|

Turbo C is a very old DOS compiler.
250*250 just happens to be very near the maximum value for a 16 bit unsigned int which is what under DOS is used as a pointer.

Use a 32 bit compiler if you want to allocate larger arrays.

WAT YOU CAN DO IS JUST LIKE SUGESTED USE A NEWST COMPILER AND CHANGE YOUR DATA TYPE OF YOUR ARRAY. LIKE IF IT WAS INT ARRAY CHANGE IT TO long int array[] or unsigned long int array[];
hope i have helped you out.
any more queries just post it here or pm any of us

hi,
is there no procedure wherein you can allocate memory by malloc etc..
my whole code is in TorboC and i cant change it to another compiler.(atleast now)..

thanks........

so the only thing to do is use turco c++ modify the code. it is possiblle

why can't you use another compiler?
Cost can't be an issue as there are several modern compilers available free of charge.
Or are you stuck on a machine running DOS?

you should have at least 1 reason 4 not being able to change your code;

Yes. What have you tried?

there is a procedure. the problem is that i cant teach u that coz i myself didnt qiute understand it. i saw that in a book sooo .. maybe somebody else CAN GIVE U A HELPING HAND

i am using Turbo C 3.0, when you say another compiler, what do you mean,
can you name some good free downloadable ones..
