creating variables (C)

[Piptol]

Well, I don't know C, but in C++ it's done like this:

Code:

int* pointer;
pointer = new int;

'new' creates the variable dyamically on the free store.. I think this is what nathan showed you for C. I don't see much point in doing it for simple variables though, it's more use when you want to create new structs, for instance.

But again, these variables are not created in run time... they are just allocated in run time, like I explained to do in C (malloc). In fact, new does an automatic malloc.

Also, I though you were coding in C, like reads in the title of this topic. Just puzzled.

I am coding in C but I got the idea from forteran.

I thought by creating he actually meant allocating.. but I'm getting cofused so I'll just shut up now
