Hello. Could anybody please let me know what the following means? I am uncertain the meaning of (*KM)[i]. I am not sure but it seems that Vec3dArray is an array where each element is a vector of 3 doubles.
So, KM may be a 2-d array of 3 columns and a run-time determined number of rows. Am I right? If so, what (*KM)[i] in the loop means? Thanks.

Vec3d is a vector of 3 doubles.
typedef vector<Vec3d> Vec3dArray
KM = new Vec3dArray(num) where num is an integer

for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {
(*KM)[i] = Vec3d::Zero();
}

: Vec3d is a vector of 3 doubles.
: typedef vector<Vec3d> Vec3dArray
: KM = new Vec3dArray(num) where num is an integer

Judging by the above, KM must be declared as

Vec3dArray* KM;

Which means that *KM simply accesses the Vec3dArray.
[i] will call the index operator inside the vector class to get the element.

So... no multiple dimensions anywhere outside the vector.

Thanks for the reply but I am still a bit confused. Do you mean the following?

KM->[ [1.0 2.0 3.0] ]
[ [4.0 5.0 6.0] ]
[ [7.0 8.0 9.0] ]
[ [1.1 2.2 3.3] ]

(*KM)[0] is [1.0 2.0 3.0]

(*KM)[1] is [4.0 5.0 6.0]

(*KM)[3] is [1.1 2.2 3.3]

where num in the original post is set to four.
I am not sure but maybe num is the number of rows. Any idea?

Yes that is correct.

"num" is the number of rows, which corresponds to the number of objects the programmer wants allocated inside the vector upon creation. It isn't necessary to specify it, as the vector class relies on dynamic memory allocation. The reason why you would specify the number of rows is only execution-time efficiency: they will be allocated at startup instead of during the push_back() to the vector.

Lundin, Thank you very much for your nice explaination. It is now clear.
