    Hi All
    I'm using MS-VStudio 2005and want to creat two dimension array in the heap(free store )
    but when i write the code
    float *pFloat;
    pFloat=new float[3][5];

    and compile the profram i got the following error

    error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'float (*)[5]' to 'float *'
    1>Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast


    so could someone please tell me what's wrong in my code

    Works for me. Perhaps you have defined it otherwise, elsewhere.
