The question about "new"

[Wenshere]

I declare a array of pointers:

char *a[13];

And how can I allocate memory for it using "new"?
(I'm a Chinese student,so my expression may be not so exact~)

Your question is vague, and there are multiple answers. Can you be more specific as to how you intend to use a?

Compiler doesn't allow to convert pointer ( operator new always returns pointer ) to array type ( char* [13] ), so only way is to declare pointer:
char** a=new char*[13];
a[0]="qwerty";
delete[] a;

So I use **a too.
Thanks:)

A much safer way to get an array of strings is with the standard vector and string classes:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
  std::vector<std::string> a;

  a.push_back("qwerty");
  std::cout<< a[0] <<std::endl;
}
