[Request / Listing] [C++] Arrays inside of array...

Is it possible in C++ to have arrays inside of arrays? Like, in Sphere, you could do:

Code: [Select]

var MyArray = new Array();

MyArray[0] = new Object();
MyArray[0].OtherArray = new Array();
MyArray[0].OtherArray[0] = "Bob Dole";
MyArray[0].OtherArray[1] = "Chuck Norris";

MyArray[1] = new Object();
MyArray[1].OtherArray = new Array();
MyArray[1].OtherArray[0] = "Cookies";
MyArray[1].OtherArray[1] = "Brownies";

You know what I mean? It's like an array of arrays. How can you do that in C++?

Multi-dimensions array?
char* MyArray[5][5] ?

Structure array?
struct MyArray {
      char* Data[5];
      MyArray SecondArray;
}?

You could also do it with an array of integers, and then have each integer be a pointer to another array.

Thats effectively what MyArray[5][5] does, only as an array of pointers where each pointer is the pointer to the first element in the array (which is what any array identifier can be used for).
Better off using pointers than casting integers as you can increment to iterate through no matter what the size of the object, withought a whole load of casting in the way.
