Array of Struct??

[Virtual24]

I can't seem to figure out how to make an array of a user defined struct. I define my struct, like so:

struct MYSTRUCT {
    float x;
    const char *Name;
};

The i try to allocate an array like this:

MYSTRUCT MyStruct1 = new MYSTRUCT[ 24 ];

Several errors come up and I don't know what to do. I am also trying to define an array of structs/unions inside of another struct the same way... error also occurs there. HELP????

I'm not sure, since I haven't programmed in C for a short while, but how about this:
struct MYSTRUCT MyStruct1[24];

???

This is C++ not C... and the problem with that is that i have to allocate the array when i declare the variable and i dont want to do that...

riis thing should work without "struct" before it. If you want to have an array of unknown/variable length then you use a dynamic array, in your example MyStruct1* instead of MyStruct1. Easiest would be to use vector from STL: vector<MYSTRUCT> MyStruct1;

It should be:

MYSTRUCT* MyStruct1 = new MYSTRUCT[ 24 ];

You forgot to make the MyStruct1 a pointer variable. Remember to delete [] MyStruct1 when you are done. If you want to declare a standard array of MYSTRUCT, the syntax is:

MYSTRUCT MyStruct1[24];
