Deallocate Dynamically-declared array

How can you do this? I have tried

delete state[];

and

delete []state;

and

for (i=0; i < number; i++)
state[i] = 0;
delete state[i];

What am I doing wrong?

state = new char[x];
delete state[];

^^ That's what it should look like. What makes you sure that it is indeed not being deallocated?

I get a weird error in the destructor (that's where I am deallocating the memory). I'll try it again and post the exact code and the exact error.

If you have declared the state as a dynamically, then just write free(state)
or if u have written the function - delete for deleting then just pass the state as a parameter.

hey r u there?
still having the probelm?

can u type the whole code?

if the state is a pointer then it would work i have done that

hey r u using c++?
then u have to delete the state and then write state = null;

Isn't the same true of C as-well as C++. The memory is freed so it can be reused by the program but until the memory is written over the old value exists .

Mark.
