How to declare an array of strings in C ++?

Question

In C ++, how can I declare an array of strings? I tried to declare it as an array char, but that was wrong.

Answer 1

#include <string>

std::string my_strings[100];

This is C ++ using STL. In C, you would do it like this:

char * my_strings[100];

This reads as “my lines are an array of 100 pointers to char” and the last as lines are represented in C.

Answer 2

I would prefer to use a row vector in almost every case:

#include <string>
#include <vector>
std::vector<std::string> strings;

Answer 3

Normal single line:

char foo[100] // foo is a 100 character string

You probably need:

char foobar[100][100] // foobar is a 100 member array of 100 character strings
