Question

I need to do the equivalent of the following C# code in C++

Array.Resize(ref A, A.Length - 1);

How to achieve this in C++?

Answer 1

The size of an array is static in C++. You cannot dynamically resize it. That’s what std::vector is for:

std::vector<int> v; // size of the vector starts at 0

v.push_back(10); // v now has 1 element
v.push_back(20); // v now has 2 elements
v.push_back(30); // v now has 3 elements

v.pop_back(); // removes the 30 and resizes v to 2

v.resize(v.size() - 1); // resizes v to 1
