Included with Dev-C++ are the STL classes, among which I found "vector".=0D
I need it to get a dynamic array in my program.=0D

=3D=3D> Good, and always use vector and standard containers instead of bu=

arrays.=0D

Now I read in a book that I shouldn=B4t put pointers in STL classes, but =
I
don=B4t understand why.=0D

=3D=3D> Apparently the book is stupid. Bad advice. Probably it meant to a=

using pointers whenever you can, but this is very different than to not u=

vectors with pointers (in case you can't avoid pointers).=0D

Could someone please explain me why, and whether there are other
possibilities to creae a dynamic array of pointers?=0D

=3D=3D> There are other standard library containers too, but since you wa=

array of pointers" vector is the best choice.=0D
