Is it possible to have a variable number of string arrays?
psuedo-psuedo code example:
cout<<"Number of family members?"<< endl;
cin>> n;
n_1[5]= {whatever}
n_2[5]= {whatever}
n_3[5]= {whatever}
n_4[5]= {whatever}
n_5[5]= {whatever}
n_n[5]= {whatever}
Is that at all possible?
Your question isn't entirely clear, but it sounds like what you probably want is something on this general order:
std::cout << "Number of family members? ";
std::cin >> n;
std::vector<std::string> family(n);
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
std::cout << "Name[" << i << "]: ";
std::cin >> family[i];
}
n).
std namespace. std::cout tells the compiler that cout can be found in std. As an alternative, before using it you can do using std::cout;.Assuming you want to specify the number of these arrays of strings at runtime, you could have a vector<string> or a vector<vector<string>>, depending on what exactly you mean by "string arrays".
If you're doing it in MS Visual studio, then u can just write "using namespace std;" instead of writing "std::" everywhere. I don't know if it works in other IDEs or not, because I'm new in C++ too. Sorry for offtopic :)
n_...supposed to represent? What is{whatever}supposed to represent? Provide more details about what you actually want.
