C++ Developer - Dynamic Memory - Part 1

This video tutorial covers the concept of dynamic memory in C++, explaining how memory is allocated at runtime using pointers. It introduces the 'new' and 'delete' operators for managing memory on the heap, and discusses the importance of setting pointers to null to prevent memory leaks and dangling pointers. The tutorial includes a practical coding example and a challenge to dynamically allocate a boolean variable, demonstrating the use of the Bool Alpha format flag for output. The session concludes with a preview of using dynamic memory for arrays and custom classes.

What are pointers and how do they relate to memory addresses?
