Dumb question, but whenever you call new, do you always have a pointer?
SomeClass *person = new SomeClass();
And is that because you need a pointer to point to that new space of memory that was allocated for the SomeClass variable person? Thanks!
If
newcompletes successfully, it always returns a pointer (if it doesn’t complete successfully, an exception is thrown, and nothing is returned).The pointer is to the object that was created, or in the case of an array, a pointer to the first element of the array.
