Both times, we focused solely on pointers representing data in memory. But data isn’t the ... we can pack them into an array. Just like with other arrays, the brackets [] are attached directly ...

When you use variables in C, the compiler associates a particular location in memory (by address) with the variable name you give it. Pointers let ... references in an array and loop through ...

A change from five to four elements in the array requires code changes in at least ... behavior if you’re not careful about who owns the memory. Pointers are a powerful feature in C and C++, but they ...

Here is the code to dynamically allocate an array and initialize the fourth element: Again, assigning NULL to the pointer after deallocation is just good programming practice. Another option for ...

Besides, its complexity is logarithmic O(log(n)). C++11 smart pointers are a leap in the right direction for dynamic memory management. Shared_ptrs implement reference counting. Weak_ptrs complement ...

pointers referring to it. To avoid changing C++ user code or its semantics, the memory allocator providing new and delete is intercepted. Upon invoking delete, the memory is actually put in a ...

Let's say I have a class of non-trivial size called MyClass I also have an array of MyClass objects ... or have add return a pointer to the new element so that the caller can execute placement ...

So I've made my first tentative steps into C++, when all my previous experience has been with languages with dynamic memory management ... grasp of references and pointers. However from the ...
