Hello,
How can i change or add a cell to an array without knowing its length ? (I mean that I shouldn't know the length I need to make the length dynamic so i can add a cell)we just learned Dynamic assignment(I hope this is the correct name) and Pointers.
Thank you
You would need to know the length or you could use the built in dynamic array, vector.
Have a look at CArray class and similar classes hereQuote:

If you want to add a cell to an array, it depends upon how the array is implemented. To provide further help and guidance could you explain further what you mean by 'an array'. As you mentioned Dynamic Assigment, this seems like you are using dynamically allocated memory for the array? The STL vector is an array internally implemented via dynamically allocated memory. So using vector you can add elements to the end of the vector without knowing its size as the vector implementation deals with the dynamic memory requirements.
Can you clarify a bit more as what to are trying to do or want to know?
Specifically, I think you are looking for CArray::SetAtGrow, which will dynamically enlarge the array.
