RE: [Dev-C++] Help with creating objects dynamically

[Satish M. <sat...@ya...>]

Hello Marc,

  Thank you for your reply. There is no real necessity for me to do so.. I
can make it work using a hash table or some kind of a mapping function.. I
just thought that if it was possible in the way I earlier asked, I could
save some execution time as there will not be much need for searching
operation..

  As i got almost every feedback saying that this is not possible, I think
I will stick to a hash table solution.

  Thank you for all your help with this.
