Hey there everyone, I know that the realloc() function allows you to increase the size of a block of memory, but I was wondering if it conserves what is already stored in the memory before resizing it. I looked up the function on MSDN but it didn''t specify this. Is there a C++ equivalent for realloc(), similair to new()?

yes, realloc preserves what''s already in the array if you make it bigger

however, there''s no equivilant in C++, so you''d be better off using a std::vector if you go that route
