Variable Declaration
How do we declare var that would only be determined at run time? Say I would create a1, a2, a3...and so on but the number of var is not determined initially.
For example inside some block
int a1, a2, a3;
Or do you mean that the number of variables are unknown at compile time?
int a1, a2, a3;
Or do you mean that the number of variables are unknown at compile time?

If you want a variable amount of variables determined at run-time you should use the

std::vector container. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/?kw=vector
@vlad from moscow - unknown at runtime. would depend on the input of the user. I am actually making a code for chess.
In this case you can use either a dynamically allocated array or some container as for example std::vector.
@vlad from moscow, Thumper - thanks. I have read about the containers and I guess my problem was making the correct format to make the a container work. I have formulated a format to use vectors, I'll have it tested this weekend.
As I have mentioned, I am writing a chess engine code. I am now at the stage of storing sequences of generated positions for evaluation.

Yes, you can make a vector of anything as long as the type meets a few requirements. Off the top of my head, I think it must be default constructable and copyable, but there may be others.
The only requirement of STL container value_types is that they must be copy constructable. (ยง23.1-5 C++ standard)
