Hey, im trying to delete an element of an array of pointers of a class, how can i delete just a single element?
my code is basically this...
n =8;
ClassName *newName;
newName = new ClassName[n];
how would i delete for example, element 3, while being in that element... if that makes sense, at the moment ive just tried
delete newName;
and it compiles but prints out alot of errors when running it....
I don't think it's possible in your way, you should declare an array of pointers instead if you want to delete individual elements ...

Edit::
int n = 5;
Classname ** ptr_to_array = new Classname * [n];Now you should use a for loop to assign objects to the pointers ...
(You should also use a for-loop to destruct it)
Tux4life is right, you can't delete one element of an array in C(++). Either use a vector or do as tux4life said.

Yeah, a vector is also a very good solution :)
