Dynamic memory allocation when using multi-dimensioal array

[Allen Maki]

Hi everybody,

I appreciate if someone give me a help.

When I used the 2 following lines in a simple code, the code will compile
with no error:

long (*pprime)[max2];

pprime = new long[max][max2];

But if I separate the two lines by putting the first in a class

and the second line in the constructor of the same class I will have the
under mentioned error messages.

Can you tell me what is wrong?



#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

const int max = 5;

const int max2 = 4;

class Array

{

public:

long (*pprime)[max2];

int capacity;

int capacity1;

Array(int max, int max2)

{ capacity = max;

capacity1 = max2;

pprime = new long[max][max2];
<------------------------------------------error

//error(1) C2540: non-constant expression as array bound

//error (2)C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'long (*)[1]' to 'long
(*)[4]'

}

};

int main()

{

return 0;

}
