[native dagger]

    string InputtedScale[n];

what are you expecting from this?

[coarse musk]

what do you use for input

[native dagger]

ok. In C++ the size of an array can't be dynamic (unless you create the array with new)

what you'd really want to use here is std::vector<int>

[coarse musk]

actually it can be...

print out your variable n before the array is created

[native dagger]

no, those are called VLAs and aren't allowed in C++

[coarse musk]

and you will see something insane there

a random garbage value, yes

[native dagger]

more than likely it'll end up being 0 as this is near the start of the program

[coarse musk]

your array will not be on the heap, it will be on the stack frame, limited to 2MB

do the math

and switch to a dnamically allocated data structure instead

did you print n like I said

before the array

if you reboot your machine it can change

so, an array with 6.4 million elements

stored in the stack frame whose size is 2MB

there's not enough space on the stack frame for this

get it?

each element takes sizeof(string) bytes

not enough space in the stack frame, yes

use a hardcoded counter, like 100 or something

because I know where in memory local variables live, that's why

unlike in python where every f*cking thing is in the heap

well, set n to be a const too

that way the compiler can see that this is a fixed length array

and produce more optimised code

[native dagger]

well is n based on the user input? it seems that it is in the code you have right now

no. the size of c arrays is fixed

and the only way to change it is to create a new array

[coarse musk]

no, once the array is created you can't extend it

[native dagger]

if this is an assignment that limits you to c arrays, then use new[], if you can use other stuff then use std::vector

[coarse musk]

std::vector is the equivalent of a python list

[native dagger]

std::vector is the most used c++ collection and is a dynamic array

[hollow vine]

thats exactly what it is yes

[coarse musk]

the syntax about what
