    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?

    @Asperamanca

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

      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 ?

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

        Use a proper container.

          thanks for your reply

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

          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 ?

                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

                      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/

                      It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

                        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/

                              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.

                              thanks for your reply

                              But Fixed Sized array not useful in my case

                                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

                                  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.

                                    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

                                      It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

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