C++ Object Creation and Memory Allocation

Question

Let\'s say I have a simple Movie object that just keeps track of a few data members of name, length and cost.

If in my driver file, I create a Movie object. Which is pre

Answer 1

Memory will be allocated for both:

Movie firstMovie("Titanic", 126, 13.2);

and

Movie* firstMovie = new Movie("Titanic", 126, 13.2);

the difference is first one will be destructed as soon as it comes out of scope where second one will remain same until you delete separately. The second method is called dynamic memory allocation and memory will be allocated in heap where for the first case memory will be allocated in stack.
