creating an array of objects dynamically

[toxcct]

just a guess, why don't you use std::vector<> ?

i never used it. can you give me a link for this topic?

MSDN : std::vector[^]

std::vector<CMyType> vec;
CMyType o1, o2;
vec.push_back(o1);
vec.push_back(o2);

//to iterate through the vector :
std::vector<CMyType>::iterator iter;
for (iter = vec.begin(); iter != vec.end(); iter++) {
CMyType obj = *iter;
//...
}

thanks toxcct I'll try it

how i can call the Row() constructor for this array? is this possible?

It is possible to call the constructor of the row class. It get's invoked automatically on creation of an object. ex: This code is not optimized. You should be using destructor of the classes to free the total amount of memory being allocated in this process.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include 
using namespace std;
class Row
{
private:
	char *termState;  
	int *terms;    
public:
	Row(int length,int mTCount);
	void Display(); 
};
Row::Row(int a,int b)
{
	cout<<"Constructor of the row class is invoked"<Display();
	}
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	Table t(10);
	return 0;
}

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

thank you _AnShUmAn_ but in your code you write this :

Row *rows[5];

but i need a parametric length for rows, like this:

Table::Table(int a)
{
rows = new Row[a];
}

when i compile this code this error appears : "error C2512: 'Row' : no appropriate default constructor available" i think that there is a better way: i want to delete the Row() constructor and after creating the Row objects dynamically , allocate the memory for Row object's member with a member function of Row. what do you think ? is this a good way?

I agree with toxcc - using vectors for stuff like this would be much easier, as they're especially designed to work just like arrays, but to be resizable at runtime

try providing a default constructor in your class.

What's the problem with allocation of memory in the constructor itself. Here's the code for you:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include 
using namespace std;
class Row
{
private:
	char *termState;  
	int *terms;    
public:
	Row()
	{
		cout<<"In edefau"<Display();
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	Table t(10);
	return 0;
}

Try this out and let me know whether there exist some more problem.. -- modified at 9:42 Wednesday 20th September, 2006

Alternatively, he could use the boost/tr1 array template as well.

dude, stop trying to reinvent the wheel. the STL provides all this already, in a better way... consider using vector ;P
