The real answer is linked lists. But since you're forced to use arrays,
use malloc to create the array to some initial size, realloc to make the
array bigger later if necessary, and free it when you're done.
You can increase the array by say 100 elements, but in "real code" they
increase to the nearest power of 2, so you don't get memory
fragmentation.
