Allocating memory and freeing it safely is hard if you are programming a very big application. In Modern C++ there are smart pointers that help avoid the mistake of incorrectly freeing the memory addressed by pointers. Smart pointers make it easier to define and manage pointers, they came with C++11. The most used types of C++ smart pointer areunique_ptr, auto_ptr, shared_ptr, and weak_ptr.
Memory usage is really important in C and C++ programming. In the C language malloc, calloc, realloc functions comes from the <alloc.h> header and C++ language allows you to use malloc in C++ also calloc and realloc too. These memory allocations are fairly old and mostly…
The C++ programming language is one of the top 5 programming languages around the world. The superbly rich C++ programming language includes many elements of the C language and goes further by adding object-oriented programming features like classes, objects, and methods.
In computers, all data and operations during runtime are stored in the memory of our computers, IoTs, or in other microdevices. This memory is generally a RAM (Random Access Memory) that allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time, irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory.
