help please: problems with arrays
yikes! you could do this more efficiently with a nested union inside of your
struct. Go read up on it you will see what I am talking about. As for the
memory allocation and deallocation, you would want to create a new object of
the struct, then when you are finished with the object call the delete on
the struct. You could also make a class out of it.
