C++ Array of pointers: delete or delete []?

Question

Cosider the following code:

class Foo
{
    Monster* monsters[6];

    Foo()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
        {
            monsters[i] =         


        

Answer 1

The second one is correct under the circumstances (well, the least wrong, anyway).

Edit: "least wrong", as in the original code shows no good reason to be using new or delete in the first place, so you should probably just use:

std::vector<Monster> monsters;

The result will be simpler code and cleaner separation of responsibilities.

Answer 2

For new you should use delete. For new[] use delete[]. Your second variant is correct.
