for loop

[stealwings]

Hi its me again, I know that you have to initialized the expression of the for loop like the one below so it can be used

for (i=0;i<MAXLENGTH; i++)

but what if I don't know the MAXLENGTH? What should I do then? Can some one guide me? Thanks in advance.

What will the maxlength depend on?

Is still about the word array problem, as you guided me I put the words of the file into a vector, then I will was able to print them out using cout, but what if the vector is too big? I mean it would be silly to write

cout<<MyWords[0]<<endl;
cout<<MyWords[0]<<endl;
cout<<MyWords[2]<<endl;
....................................
cout<<MyWords[n]<<endl;

so I was wondering if I could use the for loop function to do so? But since I don't know how many words or lines exactly my file will content I can't define a MAXLENGTH for it, how can I do it? I mean this could be also done with a while loop but I would also have to know my MAXLENGTH needed, don't I? Plz help me. Thanks in advance.

You can use the .size() function in the vector. MyWords.size() will return the number of elements in the vector, so you can loop from 0 to MyWords.size().

WOW so it was just that easy, I've solved it thanks a million.
