Doubt in memory allocation

#1

When we do:


int n; cin>>n;

int a[n];

I read somewhere it is static memory allocation. But how? Isn’t n taken input at runtime. How does compiler decide what amount of memory is to be allocted in symbol table to array a?

hi @harshsharmajnv_9b70d236614796d5,
It is actually static memory allocation (since they are kept in stack memory) this depends on the place from where the memory is being allocated
