You have to allocate the array on the heap rather than on the stack.

You don't say whether you are using C or C++. That's important because the allocation is different.

In C, you use malloc:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. data* objData = (data*)malloc(sizeof(double) * UserEnteredValue);
  2.  
In C++ you use the new operator:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. data* objData = new data[UserEnteredValue];
  2.  
Then remember that since you allocated the memory you are responsible to release it when you are finished with it.

In C you use free():
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. free(objData);
  2.  
In C++ you use delete:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. delete [] objData;
  2.

Is it possible to assign a value to a structure field that is in an array? I'm currently getting around the problem by creating a new structure, assign...
