This module explores how C++'s use of pointers and memory allocation differs from C.
While pointers are used in much the same way in both languages, C++ introduces some interesting new features. In addition, C++ allows you to control the allocation and deallocation of a system-provided memory pool. This feature is particularly important for using dynamic data structures such as lists and trees.
you will learn:

1. How to create const pointer arguments to functions
2. How to create aliases for variables using reference declarations
3. How C++ implements call-by-reference using reference declaration
4. How to use a generic pointer type
5. How to use new and delete to manipulate free store memory
6. How to create dynamically allocated multidimensional arrays

At the end of the module, you will be given the opportunity to take a quiz covering these topics.
