Enter your name: Laklaker
The size of the array is: 8.

No, arrays are given a size at compile time and that cannot be changed at runtime. There are ways of simulating an array that can be resized, but those methods are already incorporated into standard classes such as vector or string. You should prefer those libraries to rolling your own ad hoc code.
