You must declare variable as a pointer so that you can later make point to
an array with the dimensions y wish.
When you are finished with the array you destroy it with the delete
statement to free the memory it uses.

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
 int number;
 int incrementer;
 int *variable;
 cout << "please enter the number of sheetlengths needed" <<endl   ;
 cin >> number;
 variable = new int[number];

 incrementer = 0;
 while (incrementer < number)
 {
      cin >> variable[incrementer];
      incrementer ++ ;
 }
 delete [] variable;
 return 0;}

Hi all
I am looking for a structure to put into a probgram I am writing to
calculate the materials needed for a roof. I need a structure that will
generate the variables needed based on an input (int) from the user.
Something like this:

cout << "plese enter the number of sheetlengths needed" <<endl
cin >> number
incrementer = 0
while (incrementer < number)
{
int variable(incrementer)
int variable(incrementer)
incrementer ++
}

So I need variables that are numbered sequencially so I can get the user to
input them.

Any other ways of tackling this problem would be helpful too.

Thanks all
