Solved How to Get Length Of Int* Array

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

Hello Friends And Qt Experts
Currently I am Facing int* array length finding Problem

I want to find the Length of Dynamic array

i am able to find the length of int[] but i can't find the length of int*

i want to know how many elements are in int* Array

For Example ::

int *Temp = new int[50];
Temp[0] = 10;
Temp[1] = 20;
Temp[2] = 30;
Temp[3] = 40;
Temp[4] = 50;
Temp[5] = 60;
Temp[6] = 70;
Temp[7] = 80;
Temp[8] = 90;
Temp[9] = 100;

I want to find The Length of Temp
Here you can see i have add 10 Elements in My Temp Array

Is There any way to Find the length of any dynamic Array at runtime ?

@Ketan__Patel__0011

    std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<int>>> Temp;

    int targetSize = 4;
    Temp.resize(targetSize,std::vector<std::vector<int> >(targetSize,std::vector<int>(targetSize)));

    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(0) = 10;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(1) = 20;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(2) = 30;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(3) = 40;

No, there is no way. int* is only a pointer, it doesn't even know it's an array.

Why not use a proper array?

Use a proper container.

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@Asperamanca

There are The Lot's of reason for it like Runtime Size Or Memory Allocation Based On My Data

[J.Hilk]

@Ketan__Patel__0011

like @Asperamanca said, you can't,
why not use std::vector ? thats the perfect substitution

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@Christian-Ehrlicher

Thank for the reply

can you please elaborate ?

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@J-Hilk

thanks for your reply

std::vector is good idea but some issues like Memory location access or Memory Allocation

And Very difficult for Multidimensional

what do you mean? vector is literally a heap allocated array

And Very difficult for Multidimensional

multidimensionalism is an illusion anyway but if you want the [][] or at().at() syntax available to you

std::vector<std::vector<int>>

here, admittedly, you may get into differences between std::vector and good old c-array, memory wise

Application crashed When i used this Syntax for Vector

        std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<int>>> Temp;

	Temp.at(0).at(0).at(0) = 10; /// My Application Crashed at this point
	Temp.at(0).at(0).at(1) = 20;
	Temp.at(0).at(0).at(2) = 30;
	Temp.at(0).at(0).at(3) = 40;

	cout << Temp[0][0][0];
	cout << Temp[0][0][1];
	cout << Temp[0][0][2];
	cout << Temp[0][0][3];

What's Wrong in this ?

[J.Hilk]

@Ketan__Patel__0011
you need to either reserve a size for your vectors or use the vector functions to append data

push_back, resize, reserve etc

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector

or use initializer lists

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@J-Hilk

I was Try this But Application is Still Crashing

	std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<int>>> Temp;

	Temp.at(0).at(0).push_back(10);
	Temp.at(0).at(0).push_back(20);
	Temp.at(0).at(0).push_back(30);
	Temp.at(0).at(0).push_back(40);

	cout << Temp.at(0).at(0).at(0);
	cout << Temp.at(0).at(0).at(1);
	cout << Temp.at(0).at(0).at(2);
	cout << Temp.at(0).at(0).at(3);

@Ketan__Patel__0011

    std::vector<std::vector<std::vector<int>>> Temp;

    int targetSize = 4;
    Temp.resize(targetSize,std::vector<std::vector<int> >(targetSize,std::vector<int>(targetSize)));

    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(0) = 10;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(1) = 20;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(2) = 30;
    Temp.at(0).at(0).at(3) = 40;

Yes of course, the 2 first vector are not defined!

You could read this article to learn how to work with multidimensionalvectors => https://mklimenko.github.io/english/2019/08/17/multidimensional-vector-allocation/

[Asperamanca]

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]

Thanks to All for your reply

i can't find the length of the Vector

[KroMignon]

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

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@Asperamanca
thanks for your reply

But Fixed Sized array not useful in my case

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@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

[KroMignon]

@Ketan__Patel__0011 said in How to Get Length Of Int* Array:

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.

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

@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
