Computing length of array

Question

I have a C++ array declared as mentioned below:

CString carray[] =
{
        \"A\",
        \"B\",
        \"C\",
        \"D\",
        \"E\"
}

Answer 1

You can use the following function template. If you're using Boost, you can call boost::size.

template 
std::size_t size(T (&)[N])
{
    return N;
}

int iLength = size(carray);

As others have already stated, however, you should prefer std::vector to C-style arrays.
