You can also create arrays of objects in dynamic memory using the new operator. You do this by providing the number of items you want created in a pair of square brackets. The following code allocates memory for two integers:
int *p = new int[2]; p[0] = 1; *(p + 1) = 2; for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i) cout << p[i] << endl; delete [] p;
The operator returns a pointer to the type allocated, and you can use pointer arithmetic or array indexing to access the memory. You cannot initialize the memory in the new statement; you have to do that after creating the buffer. When you use new to create a buffer for more than one object, you must use the appropriate version of the delete operator: the [] is used to indicate ...
