    Maybe something like this helps:
    https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/an-introduction-to-stdvector/

    It also refers to std::array, which might be an alternative if you really only need fixed-sized arrays.

        @Ketan__Patel__0011 have you really searched ? ==> https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/size/

          But Fixed Sized array not useful in my case

            @KroMignon

            Yes i see this example

            They Are Declare Singla Dimension Vector and Add First 10 Element and Again Add 10 Element After the First 10th Element Index and in last step they are remove the element and display the size of vector not a length

              I don't understand what you want?!?
              By simply reading std::vector() documentation, you could find yourself:

              • vector::size(): Returns the number of elements in the vector.
              • vector::capacity(): Returns the size of the storage space currently allocated for the vector, expressed in terms of elements.

                @KroMignon

                i want to find how many elements are in the My Vector

                i was used vector::size() function but it is return to me total size of vector

                for example

                my Vector can store 10 elements but i am add only 6 elements

                so my Vector length is 6 And Vector size is 10

                  i want to find how many elements are in the My Vector

                  Here are a little code extract which should be self explaining:

                     std::vector<int> test;
                      qDebug() << "Size is" << test.size() << "/ Capacity is" << test.capacity();
                      test.reserve(10);
                      qDebug() << "Size is" << test.size() << "/ Capacity is" << test.capacity();
                      test.push_back(11);
                      qDebug() << "Size is" << test.size() << "/ Capacity is" << test.capacity();
                      test.push_back(11);
                      test.push_back(11);
                      qDebug() << "Size is" << test.size() << "/ Capacity is" << test.capacity();
                      test.pop_back();
                      qDebug() << "Size is" << test.size() << "/ Capacity is" << test.capacity();
                  

                  and output is:
                  Size is 0 / Capacity is 0
                  Size is 0 / Capacity is 10
                  Size is 1 / Capacity is 10
                  Size is 3 / Capacity is 10
                  Size is 2 / Capacity is 10

                    No, thats wrong. The size is 6, the std::vector<> has no function length().

                        "length" of a multidimensional array is kind of a meaningless concept...and resizing those structures requires well defined conops of what it means to resize, and what to do with new elements, or elements that must be thrown away...AND...will almost always require complete data move to a new container of appropriate size.

                        While sometimes useful, a vector of vectors is nontrivial to manage correctly.

                          I don't really understand just which "sizes" or "lengths" you are wanting to discover.

                          A vector of vectors is a jagged array, meaning that each sub-vector element in a parent vector has its own size/length/number of elements. It is not "rectangular" like C/C++ int array[outer_elements][inner_elements] would be. Also, unlike the C one, you can & do add elements at all levels dynamically, so the number of items change at runtime. You would have to iterate the vector to discover its child element sizes to discover the total size used. You can resize() and/or reserve() if you want to reserve a certain size (number of elements)/make it "rectangular", and thereby avoid needing to iterate to discover size if desired.

                          @Christian-Ehrlicher , @KroMignon , @J-Hilk have given you code/references for the above.

                            vector will solve allocation/deallocation while keeping contiguous storage. It is intended for 1D arrays; everything more dimensional needs to come from somewhere else; doing it yourself while not familiar with C++ is probably not the best idea.

                            Since it seems you're dealing with matrices, getting a dedicated, fast, reliable library is probably the best thing to do. I suggest looking into Eigen.
