Ada doesn't have a standard list type, so there's no pointing them in that direction. Dynamic arrays exist in some languages - just not in Ada. (Well, O.K. Unbounded_String, but that's not a general array type.) The good news is that neither does C, so in either language, the OP would have to go about creating his own construct. Maybe C++ has a dynamic array class?
