Dear Students,
You are all hereby informed that GDB of the Introduction to
programming course is going to upload in few days, before submitting
the GDB, please read all instructions thoroughly.
The GDB will remain open for two days (48
hours).
You may submit your GDB from “January 8, 2024 to January 9, 2024,
11:59 PM”.
GDB Topic:
Suppose
you have been hired as a C++ developer for a software company. You have been
assigned the task of developing an application, with two key considerations:
i. The application should follow the Object-Oriented
paradigm.
ii. Due to limited resources, memory leaks are a critical
concern in the application.
Given
the two points mentioned above, you have the option to allocate memory using
the ''new'' operator or the ''malloc'' function.
Now,
considering the above scenario, which of the given options (new or malloc)
will be most preferable to use? Justify your answer in either case.
Note:
· Please provide concise and focused responses, avoiding
irrelevant details.
· Your response should not exceed 3-4 lines.
· Use 12-point font size with "Times New Roman"
style.
· Violation of these instructions may lead to mark
deductions.
Regards,
Instructor CS201
Answer:
Using the “new” operator in C++ is preferable
because:
1.
Object-Oriented
Paradigm: “new” aligns with the Object-Oriented paradigm, allowing
for proper construction of objects with constructors.
2.
Automatic Resource
Management: “new” ensures automatic invocation of constructors and
facilitates automatic memory deallocation through destructors, reducing the
likelihood of memory leaks.
3.
Type Safety: “new”
is type-safe, providing better support for C++ features like RAII (Resource
Acquisition Is Initialization).
In contrast, "malloc" lacks these
advantages, making “new” the safer and more convenient choice.
