Length of Array

[lql44]

Hi All
If I am passing an array to a function, is it possible to get the length of the array in the function?

I tried the following but it didnt work

void MyFunction( int a[])

int Length

Length=sizeof a/ sizeof (int)

Thanks

No, pass the length into the function along with the array.

Edit: It appears that I forgot the word function above...fixed

An alternative is to use C++ container types such as vector.

And sizeof is a preprocessor function, meaning it is replaced with the size before compilation.

That's not true. Sizeof is an operator.
