I am trying to create a function that will assign names to objects instead of numbers and need to create a function to resize an array. Does anybody have any clue how I would create a function to resize an array?

You may want to look at some other form of collection other than an array.
STL Containers

It sounds like you may want a map, if you are not familiar with these containers then you may find them difficult at first but its worth learning to use them, arrays have their uses but the uses are limited.

A map may be declared something like this:

This will hold a name for all each of your object ID's.

If you are using a map then you should be able to do something like this:


This adds an element to your map with key '14' and value 'name'.

You can access each objects name like this:
