help C++

What is your background.

You don't *use* malloc in C++. Use new
 

Re: help C++

please givr mr example .how can i use new?
thanks
 

help C++

char dynamicString[] = new char[stringSize];
 

Re: help C++

and then u should free the memory after using.

char* myString;
myString =(char*)new[numberOfCharecter];
if(!myString){
//report error!
}
//after use
delete[] myString;
 

help C++

There is a reason why I typed the line... so he could search the rest out from Google...

But since code was posted, let me say a few things :

1. new is NOT like malloc().

You MUST have a try-catch handler while newing up memory.

The lines :

Code: 
if(!myString){ 
//report error! 
}

*may* work in your compiler, but it's deprecated.

2. char* myString and char myString[] are two different things.

4. after delete, it good practise to null the pointer :

Code: 
//after use 
delete[] myString;
myString = NULL;

And I still don't understand why people don't Google before asking here at EDABoard ?
 

Re: help C++

dynamic allocation in C++ can be achieved with new and deallocation of memory with delete.
allocate memeory to a variable,
int *ip;
ip=new int;
allocate memeory to 1D array
int *ip;
ip=new int[10];
allocate memory to 2d array
int *ip;
ip=new int[][10];

for deallocation
delete ip;
delete []ip;

the "malloc" can still use as the "new" operater but it's old and can't handle much memory.
