How do I clear and array after I read the data?

The data is being read in a for loop.

I tried using this:

delete [] array_name;

but my program crashes.


Ideas?

That is for a dynamic array.

example:

int *array = new int[5];

cout << array[whatever u wanna do];

delete array [];

 

[RGN]

ok, so how do I clear the data in my non-dynamic array?

 

[Deeko]

easy....make it dynamic What do want it to do, actually delete the memory space, or just like reset the values to 0 or something? If you want to just delete the memory space, I don't know if it's possible.

 

[RGN]

This is a base conversion program, the values that are input in the array are being read out along with new data on subsequent calculations.

example:

first answer is 444, second answer displayes as:4446767

it should be 6767

I'm not sure going to zero's is what I'm looking for...

 

[Deeko]

Hmm...not really sure what you're trying to do, but if you just need to delete the whole thing, just make the array dynamic.

Keep track of how many elements you're using for each conversion, and use a loop to display however many elements you've counted.

I GOT IT!!!


FatAlbo:I was keeping track, but I was not resetting my counter.


Thanks!!

not sure whether your problem is solved or not.

if i were you i will just replace the Array's content next time you store date to it.
