Assigning to a 2d array with braces

[rozick1]

I know for a 2d initialisation you can do this:

int mda [3][3]={ {1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9} };

but how do I do this:

int mda [3][3];
mda = { {1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9} };

Is it possible to do this in C++11?

Is there a reason you would seperate the lines? :3
I mean, if you want to assign the values, why do it later when you can do it now? :3

Since you are assigning by hand anyway:

int** mda = new int*[3];

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    mda[i] = new int[3];
}
for (unsigned int x = 0; x < 3; x++)
{
    for (unsigned int y = 0; y < 3; y++)
    {
        mda[x][y] = 1 + y + 3 * x;
    }
}

Assignment lists don't work outside of initialization.

seems to imply that it is possible on more modern compilers. You should check it out.

Because I want to declare in one function and assign in another?
