Dynamic 2D Arrays of Class Objects

[djargad]

Is there anyway I can make a dynamic array of class objects??
eg in Java you can write

myclass [][] mc = new mc [5][6];

However in C++ I can't do something like that.
Do I have to use malloc??

Thanks in advance

malloc is C, not C++.

// Not-Dynamic
myclass mc[5][6];

or // Dynamic

myclass **mc = new mc*[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
 mc[i] = new mc[6];

or use a vector of vectors.

Zaita, that's the OO dev in you coming out again :).

malloc can sometimes be the only way of doing what you want.

I agree with your solution in this case but don't dismiss the old trusted malloc/free/calloc/realloc out of hand.

They all have their place in the C++ code toolbox.

Er..
Shouldn't that be

myclass **mc = new myclass*[5];  //Type is myclass, mc is instance
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
 mc[i] = new myclass[6];

Good spot, I obviously wasn't concentrating on what he actually wrote :/
