look up "dynamic array"

change your code to be
1
2
 
int size=8;
string *resto=new string [size];

then initialize the array.

next, if you want to make it bigger by 1...
1
2
3
4
5
 
string *temp=new string[++size]
for (int i=0; i<size-1; i++)
    temp[i]=resto[i];
delete [] resto;
resto=temp;

Hi, you have a few options here. I've listed them in order of preference in a real-world perspective.

1) Use a STL container such as std::vector or std::list.

2) Use dynamic allocation for your restaurant array

3) Pick a constant maximum entry threshold for your statically allocated array.

Depending on what path you decide to take, the help that we can offer will be drastically different. If I might ask, can we see the problem statement so we can help you figure out what path that your instructor wants you to take?

threeright, your code worked, thank you., but if i want to display the restaurants after i added them, the name of the restaurant i added was not printed, its only a blank space. how do i fix that?

Luc Lieber, I dont understand what do you mean by problem statement? the maximum of the array is 16, the content should not be more than that, but the user can add another restaurant if the size is still less than 16.

By "Problem Statement", I meant the guidelines that either your instructor or text-book gave you that you are supposed to follow while solving the problem.
