3. Pointers to a data structure

4. Pointers to a class

5. ->

6. Memory Allocation

7. malloc ( ) ; calloc ( ) ; realloc ( ) ;

8. malloc ( 10 * ( sizeof ( int ) ) ) ;

9. free ( )

10. new

11. new int ;

12. int * iptr ; iptr = new int ; Example

13. new char ; new double ; Example

14. delete

15. int * iptr ; iptr = new int ; delete iptr ; Example

16. int * iptr ; iptr = new int [ 10 ] ; Example

17. new data_type [ Number_of_locations ] ; new double [ 10 ] ; Example

18. int *iptr ; iptr = new int [ 10 ] ; delete iptr ; Example

19. Date *dptr ; dptr is a pointer to an object of type date Example

20. dptr = new Date ;

21. main ( ) { Date mydate ; cout<< sizeof ( mydate ) ; } Example

22. int *iptr ; iptr = new int [ 10 ] ; Example

23. Date *dptr ; dptr = new Date [ 10 ] ; Example

24. Date date1, *dptr ; date1.setDate ( ) ; dptr = new Date ; dptr = new Date ; dptr ->setDate ( ); dptr.setDate ( ) ; Wrong Example

25. Protected

Allocate enough space for Allocate enough space for the new data the new data Populate that space Populate that space Delete the previous space Delete the previous space Point the new space to the Point the new space to the pointer pointing to the pointer pointing to the original data original data

28. char *name =new char [ string_length ]

29. delete [ ] name

30. delete [ ] pointer_name

31. main ( ) { Date mydate ( “01-12-2002” ) ; Date mydate ( “01-12-2002” ) ; mydate.display ( ) ; } Example
