For example if you wanted to know how many elements would be needed for the array, then you could ask the user then create one dynamically. Here's how to create a dynamic array of integers in C++. int *array // Pointer to the first element in the array int n = 10; // number of elements in the array array = new int[n]; the pointer array can be accesed just like a normal array even though it's a pointer, ex. array[1], array[8] ect.. --Dave
