I am here stuck with a question in my C++ book with the following:
“What does the use of new require you to also call delete?”
Maybe you have an answer for that?

Because that is the way C++ is designed & that is the intended behavior.
The intention was to provide a memory allocation which you demand and own till you reliquish it explicitly.
newgives you a dynamic memory allocation(on heap) which will continue to exist and you own it untill you explicitly deallocate it by callingdelete.Failing to call a
deleteon anewed buffer will leadto Undefined Behaviors usually in the form of. 1 memory leaks.1 This was discussed here.
