New and Delete are the memory management operators in c++,like c language we use malloc() and calloc() functions to allocate memory and free() functiong to release the memory similarily we use new to allocate memory in C++ and Delete to release the allocated memory....
The new and delete operators in C++ are not related to flush. New is used to allocate memory, while delete is used to deallocate memory. Flush is a library concept that allows you to ensure that IO is completed, and not buffered, before proceeding to the next step.
No, they are functions. Operators are -> or ++or /=
The new operators in C++ (but not in C) are new, delete, compl, and, and_eq, not, not_eq, or, or_eq, xor, xor_eq, bitand and bitor. Of those only the first two can really be said to aid OOP. However, other keywords that specifically aid OOP include class, friend, mutable, private, protected, public and template.
They mostly deal with pointers and new operators in memory.
Although C++ inherits malloc/calloc, realloc and free from C, programmers are encouraged to use the object-oriented operators, new and delete instead. Not only are they much easier to use, they can also be used with primitive data types.
You use the new operator to instantiate an object dynamically (at runtime) upon the heap (free store). You use the delete operator to release those same dynamic allocations when they are no longer required. The new and delete operators are similar to the malloc and free functions used in C (and which are still used today to implement these operators in the background). However, everything you could do with malloc and free you can also do with new and delete, including the instantiation of primitives, and is the preferred method of doing so in C++.
This involves allocating and de-allocating memory at run-time. Look into the new and delete operators for C++ or malloc and free for C.
New creates objects. Delete deletes objects. eg - int *x = new int; // Give me a new int eg - delete x; // Delete the int that was created These functions are useful because they allow you to allocate as much memory as you need (eg ask the user for how many numbers do they want to type in, allocate that many ints and then loop through and store the values). Note that there are two other operators, new[] and delete[] that are used for creating/deleting arrays. eg - int *x = new int[5]; // Give me 5 new ints eg - delete[] x; // Delete the 5 ints If you mix and match the different operators(eg new[] with delete) you may end up with memory leaks - delete only expects one object, so if you give it 10 objects created by new[] then it will only delete one.
Are very useful. Examples: & | ^ ~
one reason to use new and delete operator overloading in c++ is when you are using your own memory manager code. when the user of your code calls the new keywork, your memory manager code can allocate memory.
The following are the C++ punctuators: ! % ^ & * () - + = {} | ~ [] \ ; ' : " < > ? , . / # Some punctuators are also operators. The exact meaning of a punctuator is dependant upon the context. For instance, the open/close brace {} is used as a punctuator to delimit a class declaration, a function definition or a compound statement. But as an operator, it used to delimit an initialisation list. The # punctuator only has meaning to the preprocessor, used to introduce a preprocessing directive. Some punctuators can also be combined to produce other operators, such as: :: .* -> ->* && ++ -- == != <= >= += -= *= /= %= ^= |= &= << <<= >> >>= ?: ... In addition, C++ also has the following punctuators as operators: new delete and and_eq bitand bitor comp not not_eq or or_eq xor xor_eq
int* a = new int(40); int* b = new int(2); int x = *a + *b; // x = 42 delete b; delete a;
