I have to make a table with a two dimensional array in c++. The array will need to hold two strings and two integers. Is it possible to have strings and integers in the same array? And how?
Please help ! I`m new to programming

Well, I have to make a 4x4 table. The first two columns will contain names and the last two will contain age numbers.user5504719– user55047192016-01-06 23:28:37 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2016 at 23:28

1Consider using a struct instead of a vector to represent your columns.Jeff Hammond– Jeff Hammond2016-01-06 23:58:07 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2016 at 23:58

This sounds like you probably want an array (or vector) of structures, where each structure contains a string and an int:
struct person {
int age;
std::string name;
};
std::vector<person> people(2);
In this case, you refer to the "rows" by number, and the "columns" by name, so the first string would be: people[0].name and the second integer would be people[1].age.
