How to allocate memory for a multi-dimensional array with NEW

by  zBuilder  Posted    (Edited  )
Code:
[Just ignore this line. TGML ARRRRggg! :)]

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int (*Buffer)[3][4]; // Note the brackets around the name- IMPORTANT!
// Also note that the first array element is missing.
int x, y, z;

printf("Starting.....\n");

// Below we allocate memory for the array:
if (!(Buffer = new int[2][3][4])) { printf("Error allocating memory...\n"); return 1; }


// Below we fill the array with data:
for ( x=0; x<2; x++ )
{
for ( y=0; y<3; y++ )
{
for ( z=0; z<4; z++ )
{
Buffer[x][y][z] = x * 100 + y * 10 + z;
}
}

}


//Below we read out the data from the array &amp; print to screen:
for ( x=0; x<2; x++ )
{
for ( y=0; y<3; y++ )
{
for ( z=0; z<4; z++ )
{
printf(" %d ", Buffer[x][y][z] );
}
}

}


// Below we deallocate the memory for the array:
delete [] Buffer;

return 0;
}
