How do I find the length of an array?

Question

Is there a way to find how many values an array has? Detecting whether or not I\'ve reached the end of an array would also work.

Answer 1

Lets say you have an global array declared at the top of the page

int global[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };

To find out how many elements are there (in c++) in the array type the following code:

sizeof(global) / 4;

The sizeof(NAME_OF_ARRAY) / 4 will give you back the number of elements for the given array name.
