====std::array====
<code>#include <array></code><br>
In C++, you can use <code>std::vector</code> which gives you a resizable array.
This will allocate an array in the heap.<br>

If you need a static sized array, you can use <code>std::array</code> in the <code>array</code> header.<br>
This wrapper around C-style arrays gives us size information and allows the array to be passed around by reference while keeping the array on the stack unlike <code>std::vector</code>.<br>
If you want to allocate a static array on the heap, you can do so as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="C++">
auto my_arr = std::make_shared<std::array<char,64>>();
</syntaxhighlight>
