True statement is : typename name[size of array];

If anyone knows the reason, I would also like to know. I have also faced this problem many times. Nowadays, I am using vector everywhere to prevent all array shit in c++.

If you use new[] to allocate memory, you must use delete[] (not delete) to free it.
