Dynamic memory management allows a program to allocate and deallocate memory at runtime.
Why Dynamic Memory is Needed
-
Size of data not known at compile time
-
Efficient use of memory
-
Supports dynamic data structures
Operators Used
C++ provides two operators:
-
new -
delete
Allocating Memory Using new
Single Variable
Array Allocation
Initializing Dynamic Memory
Deallocating Memory Using delete
Single Variable
Array
Example Program
Memory Leak
Occurs when allocated memory is not released.
Advantages
-
Memory used only when required
-
Improves program flexibility
-
Efficient memory usage
Key Points
-
newallocates memory -
deletefrees memory -
Use
delete[]for arrays -
Avoid memory leaks
Conclusion
Dynamic memory management in C++ provides control over memory usage and is essential for efficient program execution.
