Hi,

I have a problem when initializing a large array of size as below:
int main()
{
float a[6][56000];
getch();
return 0;
}

I need such size of array for my project but c++ builder is throwing me error-
Loaded 'C:\WINNT\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_f75eb16c\msvcr80d.dll', Symbols loaded.
'ims_project.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\msvcrt.dll', No symbols loaded.

The program '[3912] ims_project.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

please help me with this problem.

float* a[6];
int i;

// Allocate array dynamically
for (i=0; i<6; i++) a[i] = new float [56000];

... do your work with the array ...
float value = a [4] [34872];

// Release memory
for (i=0; i<6; i++) delete [] a[i];

You can
- create the arrays dynamically (as shown in other reply)
- use a std::vector (which does the dynamic allocation and deallocation for you)

In C++, prefer a std::vector over an array (see http://richelbilderbeek.nl/CppVector.htm for references).

#include <vector>
std::vector<std::vector<float> > a;

See ya, Bilderbikkel
