C++ Is it possible to 'delete' element from an array?

Question

I want to make new array which has size - 1 than my 'main array'. And there is problem I cant declare string newArray[oldArray.length()-1].

Is it this possible in C++ ?

Answer 1

No, it is not possible to delete an element from a static array. You can, however, shift the subsequent elements down one slot and then ignore the last slot. You can use a separate variable to keep track of how many usable elements are in the array.

Alternatively, use std::vector to create a dynamic array.
