How to make an array without setting the size first?

I want to create an array to store values from user input. The user input is in a while (choice=='y' || choice=='Y') loop. As long as the user keeps selecting Y/y at the end of the loop, they can enter more values and continue. I want to store the 2 values that are entered and a 3rd calculated value in an array. The user can stop after 1 value or keep going up to 100 iterations of the loop (if they so desire).

My original thought was to create 3 array variables but I am stuck trying to figure out the exact code needed to allow an array(s) to just grow, as needed. I do not want to preset the size of the array to any single value though. Any help in this manner would be appreciated.

You can use some collection frameworks for this.

What you're doing sounds a lot like an ArrayList or a Vector, both of which are collections.

I'd stick with the ArrayList, unless you require synchronization . But - I suspect that you aren't at the point of needing to know the difference in your training.

Work with what you've got, write a prototype, and if you have any questions about your code - ask them.

From FAQ 6.13: int arr; int (*a)=arr; /* legal, but useless */ printf( "%d\n", a ); /* error, bounds of a unspecified */ Are there non-contrived situations where an array of unspecified bounds is useful?

I would like to have an array declaration where the size of the array is dependent on a variable. Something like this: /* Store the desired size of the array in a variable named "array_size". */ unsigned short int array_size = 25; /*Declare an array named "numbers" using the variable initialized above. */ unsigned short int numbers;

Hello All! I am just learning c++ in school and I have the following question: Is there a way for the user to input the length of an array (console application) without using another variable? I made this program that finds the average of x number of numbers and stores the average in the last index of the array of the numbers. The other other variable I have is to determine the length of the array (totalNums). Is there a way to get...

Hello! So, i have this type of a problem -> i have wrote a function that sorts the array in ascending order. the beggining looks like this -> template <typename T> void PosortujBabelkowoTablice(T& Tablica, int i) { // and the rest of a code.... So, as you see, i must always give the i param, which is the number of objects within array Tablica. But, i want to make it simpler, in a way i give only the array, without the quantity of the...

Hi folks, I have a problem. my function call is void Rotate_n(int array, int arraySize,int n); //precondition: arraysize>=1 && n>=0 && n<=arraySize //post condition: Values in the arrary are rotated forward(left to right) by n positions. eg: if the original array is {1,2,3,4,5} then, rotate_n(array,5,1); will make it{5,1,2,3,4} my problem is, how do i manipulate the array without using temp??

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
