    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

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

          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 ?

              @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

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

                            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.

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

                                  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

                                      so my Vector length is 6 And Vector size 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.
