Crucially, the value of a new
expression is the address of
the memory that new
has allocated. Consequently, you can
tie a pointer variable to a run-timeallocated chunk of memory
for a floating-point number using an assignment statement:
*----- Refers to a memory location that can hold the address | of a chunk of memory allocated for a floating-point number | | *----- Returns the address of a chunk of memory allocated | | for a floating-point number at run time v v dptr = new double;
