How to expand an array dynamically in C++? {like in vector }

Question

Lets say, i have

int *p;
p = new int[5];
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
   *(p+i)=i;

Now I want to add a 6th element to the array. How do I do it

Answer 1

Same as others are saying, but if you're resizing the array often, one strategy is to resize the array each time by doubling the size. There's an expense to constantly creating new and destroying old, so the doubling theory tries to mitigate this problem by ensuring that there's sufficient room for future elements as well.
