Allocation of Dynamic Memory
Learn how memory can be dynamically allocated to variables in C++.
We'll cover the following
Introduction
For dynamic allocation, we have to do the following two steps:
- First, allocate the dynamic space.
- Then, store the starting address of the dynamic space in the pointer.
new operator:

Syntax
The basic syntax for getting memory during the run-time is given below:
