array declaration in c++ without specifying the size

Question

in c# I can do this:

private double[,] elevations;

How to do the same in c++ without specifying the size or elements of array on this line?

You cannot do that for arrays in C++.
But, if you want dynamic size, go for std::vector.

And from your question, I see that you are interested in a 2D array. Hence, use a nested std::vector, like this:

vector< vector< double > > elevations;

A vector of vector<double>s.
