Remove object from an array in C++? -

here's simplified sample of code : .h

class company { public:     company();     void addemployee(const employee &emp);     void removeemployee();  private:     employees *listemployees; }; 

the .cpp

company::company(){ listemployees = new employees[16]; } company::addemployee(const employee &emp) {listemployee[index]=emp;} company::removeemployee(){ ??? } 

i remove employee stored in array. tried use :

delete listemployee[index]; //->"cannot delete expression of type 'employees' listemployee[index]=null;   //->"no viable overloaded '='" 

i didn't find satisfying solution on web. also, i'm not familiar pointer , reference, maybe error cames this. thanks.

edit : i'm not allowed use vectors, must use arrays.

edit2 : answer. here's solution used :

for(int i=indexemp;i<sizearray-1;i++){     listemployees[i]=listemployees[i+1]; } 

where indexemp index of employee want remove.

there no built-in way remove element c++ array. arrays have fixed size, can't add or remove elements.

you have other options. example, use std::vector type, acts array lets add , remove elements. alternatively, if need store elements in some order , don't care order is, try using std::unordered_map or std::map.

hope helps!
