How do I add values in an array using a loop without declaring the array size?

You can have the user input the array size. int array_size; cin >> array_size; int array[array_size]; for (int i = 0; i < array_size; i++) { array[i] = 0; } // array filled with zeros

either use dynamic array and continously allocate new space, or use a linked list..... or just use vectors, much simpler and not messy :) https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_stl_tutorial.htm

How about making a blank array. One where you do not declare the size, and add as many values as you want.

Why not using vector. It is works as array also it is dynamic, you can add or pop element dynamically.

Do note that vectors may relocate from their original place in the memory. That only means that if you keep a reference or pointer to a member in the vector and push something into it it MAY invalidate the pointer/reference. That is, they may point to unallocated space. Just a sidenote:)
