Re: new/delete

c language said:

Hi,
I am using pointer in my program. I write them like:
*DIST=new int [M+1];

In C, that's a syntax error.

and when I want to make the memory free, I write:
delete DIST;

In comp.lang.c++ they will explain to you about the difference between new
and new [], and how to destroy objects created with either operator. Or
more likely, they'll tell you to read your C++ book more carefully, or get
a better book.
