First-chance exception: Mem violation

[boon kian]

Hi, can anyone help me with this prob ??? I am at a total lost I have several pointers (using them as matrix) and i have always allocate mem to them using the "new" operator. However i encounter a strange problem with one of them (temp). Whenever my program trys to access the pointer 'temp' up to a location, it would generate an "First-chance exception: 0xC00000005: Access violation" error. an eg of the code is like this: double * temp temp = new double (5000); for (i = 0; i < 5000; i ++) { temp[i] = x*y; } I use breakpoints and see that the index of temp from 1 to 2577 is valid. However when i > 2578 all the values are invalid ("CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated") and hence causing my program to hit the ""First-chance exception: 0xC00000005: Access violation" error. This seems so strange to me and i am at a lost of what to do...... Can anyone tell me why is it so ?? and how can i solve this problem?? Thank you very much for your kind attention !!

Must be: temp = new double [5000]; rechi
