C++ Multidimensional Array

I can give you the way I'd do that in C, which should also work in C++.
A multidimensional array is simply an "array of arrays." You'll understand it better once you start working with pointers.
Declaring the array is quite simple:
int bah[x][y];
where x and y are ints.
Now, if you want to use dynamic memory managament here, I'm not quite sure on the "proper" C++ way to do that. In C, I'd just use malloc() and free(), but I don't believe you should need those in C++.

My C++ is incredibly rusty, but would something like the following work?
Code:
int** DynArray = new int *[4];
for(int i=0; i < ArraySize; i++)
DynArray[i] = new int[4];

heh, funny thing you asked this, just this morning I was working on an engineering assignment for c++, and had to declare a dynamic 2d array.
I used vectors to do it, as I find them easier to pass to procedures, not exactly what you need, but I can give you the code if you like.
