what is the 2nd dimension of that array for, if you only want to save names?

If the OP has been given that as a requirement, then presumably the names are to be stored as char arrays, rather than as STL strings.

@Darkmaster
so how can i do this ....in one-array? .......how?


thanks

Use an array of std::string objects. Technically, that's a 1D array, although each string object probably contains a char array hidden inside it.

@MikeBoy
can i get some code , please.

i would use a string vector std::vector<std::string> cities;

you can add cities at the end with cities.pushback("New York");
and use cities[0] to get the data.
