C++ Program to Allocate Memory using new[ ] and delete[ ]

This C++ program illustrates memory allocation and de-allocation using new and delete keywords. The space for one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays can be allocated and de-allocated using these keywords. In case of two-dimensional array, the array first allocated is that for holding pointers to further one-dimensional arrays.

Here is the source code of the C++ program illustrates memory allocation and de-allocation using new and delete keywords. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
