    <p>I'm almost done with a dice rolling program and my only issue is that I'm unable to input more than 5000 rolls, due to the size of the array I've specified. While I suppose I could simply increase the size of the array to some ridiculous number, I'd prefer not to and instead use a dynamically sized array based on the input <code>remainingRolls.</code> Can anyone help?</p> <p>NOTE: This is the edited and final code that works.</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt; #include &lt;conio.h&gt; using namespace std; int roller(){ // loop to simulate dice roll int die1, die2; int total; die1 = rand()%6+1; die2 = rand()%6+1; total=die1+die2; return total; } int main(){ int numberOfRolls; int remainingRolls; int eights=0; // declare counter array to hold frequencies of dice results int i; int value; float percentage; int currentRoll; // declare array for dice values currentRoll= 0; cout &lt;&lt; "How many times will the dice be rolled?" &lt;&lt; endl; cin &gt;&gt; remainingRolls;// user input # of dice rolls numberOfRolls = remainingRolls;// variable to hold number of rolls (for output) for (i=0; remainingRolls &gt;0; remainingRolls--){// loop to count frequency of each value currentRoll = roller();// activate diceRoll function if (currentRoll == 8){ eights++; } } percentage = (eights*100/numberOfRolls); cout &lt;&lt; "The dice were rolled " &lt;&lt; numberOfRolls &lt;&lt; " times." &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "The value 8 came up " &lt;&lt; eights &lt;&lt; " times or " &lt;&lt; percentage &lt;&lt; "% of the time." &lt;&lt; endl; getch(); return 0; } </code></pre>

    1. COYou should say that you've edited the code after you posted it. Otherwise things will be harder for others who wants to learn from this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
