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

[Marc H. <ma...@e-...>]

Hi Sateesh,

I think what you're looking for is the STL std::map which serves as a =
kind
of associative array. There are other guys on this list more educated in =
the
ways of STL than I. I'm sure they will help you out if you have =
problems.=20

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.
