dynamic memory allocation

[b2meer]

Hello everyone,
I have a simple question

If make a char pointer and then create dynamically a char array of say 5 size....and then at the pressing a key i want to delete /release memory from specific index say index 2,and finally when my program ends it should delete/release memory from the remaining indexes...how is it going to be in vc++...

in the following code i tried to do this but it gives error


#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;
void main() {
char *text;
text = new char[5];

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
cin>>text[i];

getch();
//deleting
delete text[4];
getch();
//deleting rest of array
delete[] text;
}



thanks

Please use [code]int a=5; // code [/code] tags in future posts.

Anyway, you cannot release memory for a specific index as you ask.

Unless your array is allocated element by element, I mean by that that it's not really an array but you have allocated 5 ints for instance you cannot do what you ask. Mainly because if you want to delete the remaining you are going to redelete some and that's not good.
