can I declare an array without declaring it's size in static code?

[bleachy]

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void printuda(int myarray[], int maa);

int main()
{
	int udam = 1;
	cout << "Input amount of elements of array." << endl;
	cin >> udam;
	int uda[udam];

	for(int fff = 0;fff<udam;fff++)
	{
		cout << "input " << fff << " value of array. " << endl;
		cin >> uda[fff];
	};

	printuda(uda, udam);


	cout << endl << " The end of code. " << endl;
	cin.get();
	cin.get();
	return 0;
};

void printuda(int myarray[], int maa)
{
	for(int x = --maa;x>=0;x--,x--)
	{
		cout << x << "   " << myarray[x] << endl;
	};

};

I can't do that or find away around it? line 13
if my question doesn't make sense tell me why if i'm using incorrect terminology or if i should just elaborate more on what my question is

As the compiler reported the size of an array shall be known at compile time. You may do so only in C that satisfies ths C99 standard. In C++ use std::vector instead.

You can't, you can only declare an array with out declaring it's size in dynamic code that utilizes pointers.

Interesting choice of index name/future compilation error.

[bleachy]

Hahahaha I just use that in place of x or something for generic variable names sometimes.

Anyway could some one show me an example on how I could achieve declaration of a array's after compile time with out a constant element size

You can dynamically allocate an array in the heap.

int udam1;

cout << "Input amount of elements of array." << endl;
cin >> udam;

int *uda =  new int[udam];

...but that would be a bad idea for a variety of reasons.
That's how you create a vector with a specific number of initial elements:
vector<int> uda(udam);
