Hi All,

I am trying to figure out how to allocate the size for Array dynamically, as in I want it to be from 0 to a Number till grid independent solution is reached by a Condition.

So below is my program, I run it many time for different values of N. But then I don't want to do this, could you please help me with this


Thank You!

P.S: I have tried different ways but then since the entire program depends on N. I am not able to figure out what to do!

! D() Right side vector (do not adjust for bcs)
! PA Left b.c.(K=1): Coefficient of Theta
! QA Left b.c.(K=1): Coefficient of dTheta/Del_X
! RA Left b.c.(K=1): Right hand side

Recommended for you

Depends on which version of Fortran you're using. If you use from F95 onwards, you could use ALLOCATE to allocate the arrays. F90 is a bit restrictive on its use of ALLOCATE.

Look up the ALLOCATABLE declaration and ALLOCATE function. To avoid memory leaks, DEALLOCATE when you've finished.
