problem with array type

I get an error when i am trying to make a float array with c++. any ideas of what could be the problem?

[color="#008000"] int** ippArray = new int*[3];
for(int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
ippArray = new int[3];
}
works

[color="#FF0000"]float** ippArray = new float*[3];
for(float i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
ippArray = new float[3];
}
does not work

Why are you using floating point type for your array index variable? That would be the first thing I'd try changing.

Please do not ask questions by just saying "it doesn't work."

At least be kind enough to tell us what the error is. Otherwise, we have to sit around and play guesswork and 20-questions to get at the real problem.

sorry about not placing more info. i did figure out the issue i was having and i would close this so no one would have to read through it any longer but i don't know how. also thanks for your guy's time and sorry again if i wasted yours. was not intentional.
