Class with dynamic array how?

Mar 20th, 2006

I am new in programming and my problem is probably notorious but still is a problem.
I want build class which can produce object which contain two dimensional dynamic array and member function which fill that array.
Question is where I should to create the array, in function or in constructor.
Cod of array is:

int sizeP, stupaca;

char **polje; //dinamicka alokacija polja s pozivacem na pokazivac

polje = new char*[sizeP];

for (int i = 0; i < sizeP; i++) 

{

polje[i] = new char[stupaca + 1];

polje[i][0] = stupaca;

for (int j = 1; j <= stupaca; j++)

polje[i][j] = i + 1 + j / 100.; 

}

2. question: do I need copy constructor? Probably yes, but I don’t know create it.
3.Can I delete the array in destructor with following cod:



for (int i = 0; i < sizeP; i++)

delete [] polje[i];

delete [] polje;

Thenx

Well, when someone says dynamic array my knee jerk reaction would be use <vector> from the STL. However, I'm not too sure about 2d vectors although I guess its inherent structure would probably be the same.

If you're intent is to build this from scratch for fun then go for it, although you probably haven't found my reply useful.

hmmm

std::vector<std::vector<T> > matrix;

std::vector is designed to work the way people expect even in multiple dimensions.

Thank you I’ll try with that. I think this is it!

I don't use this for vectors I’m trying create from one big string many small strings, and place it in array.

>std::vector<std::vector<T> > matrix;

Thanx _jsw, I was wondering that but I didn't know 4 sure. Do you have an example...

>I don't use this for vectors I’m trying create from one big string many small strings, and place it in array.

Well unless, you just missed the above, you can use a 2D vector to do exactly that. Unless, like I said before ,you're just doing that for fun, practise or just to complicate matters?
