    If your stack is big enough:
    Code:
    double x[100000];
    
    If not you'll have to do it on the heap instead:
    Code:
    double *x=new double[100000];
    //...
    delete[] x;

    If you plan to use Dynamic Memory Allocation,

    (*) in C :
    Code:
    float *x;
    x = (float *)malloc(100000 * sizeof(float) );
    ...
    free(x);
    (*) in C++ :
    Code:
    float *x;
    x = new float[100000];
    //...
    delete [] x;

    But, if you have an ANSI/ISO C++ specific compiler, you can declare such an array, without using Dynamic Memory Allocation :
    Code:
    #include <vector>
    std::vector<float> x(100000);

    I want to use this way of doing things, Saswath....now how do I couple it with my code?
    The code being.....
    Code:
     #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    
    
    void main()
    
    {
        clrscr();
        int j=101,y=j-1,z,p;
            int k,m,l,i,g,n,q,a;
            int r,t;
            float s,sd1,avg;
            float mavg[1000],sds[1000],sds1[1000],sd[1000],A[]={126332363.4610    ,

    The array of interest is mavg[].....I need this to be very large......
    Code:
     
    
    float mavg[1000]

    Just use the code Saswat gave you, so instead of
    Code:
    float mavg[1000], sds[1000] /* etc */ ;
    
    use this:
    Code:
    float *mavg, sds[1000] /* etc */ ;
    mavg=(float *)malloc(100000 * sizeof(float) );
    // the rest of your code
    free(mavg); // don't forget this!

    Ok..thanks..I am starting to get a hold of things here......once I allocate the memory...using DMA...How do I store values into the memory locations...
    e.g. I free memory using the following code......how do I store values into the locations pointed by pointer A.

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
     
    void main()
    {
     clrscr();
    {
      double *A;
      A=(double *)malloc(100000000 * sizeof(double) );
        if(A==NULL)
         {
          printf("unsuccessful");
          // exit(0);
         }
        else
         {
          printf("you are in luck kid!!");
         }
       free(A);}
       getch();
    }

    Same way you do it with normal arrays, e.g. A[5]=27;

    I would strongly advise you start reading a C book; it will tell you all this.
