string array size in c++ how do I get the size of a string array.
sterlen(arrayname) does not work or size(arrayname) either.
I am getting sterlen or size as idenitfier not found at compile time.

How is
Does it look something like this:
Or is it like this:
The latter will require what I edited into my post later (that is, strlen).
FirstName declared?Does it look something like this:

What compiler are you using? I don't have the .length() function in MSVC++
To get what are you are trying do to do, the way I would do it would be:

Ah, I see what you're getting at.
Well, you could use the vector array example, or you could use a const to keep track of the array size:

Do you mean to make
1) an array of 10 strings
2) a string to hold 10 characters?
If 1, you reference the length with
stringname[index].length()If 2, you create the string with
char stringname[10] then reference the length with strlen(stringname) Age is unimportant -- except in cheese
