74It only works if sizeX is constant: int(*ary)[sizeX] = new int[sizeY][sizeX]; Which is the right way to create a int[sizeY][sizeX] and where all the memory is contiguous. (I don't think this is worth an answer, since probably your sizeX is not constant– Johannes Schaub - litbCommented Jun 1, 2009 at 20:49

36I can't belive all the dozen of answers below are all wrong and doesn't answer the question, and yet they are all upvoted. The above comment by Johanes Shaub is the only correct answer to the question. A 2D array and an array of pointer to array are two completely separate things, that apparently everyone mixes up.– BregaladCommented Mar 15, 2015 at 9:09

8@JohannesSchaub-litb: That's not 100% correct. Certainly it does work in that case, but there's a method to make it work where all dimensions vary, see stackoverflow.com/a/29375830/103167– Ben VoigtCommented Mar 31, 2015 at 19:42

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
