Advantages of C++:
- High performance and resource control.
- Support for object-oriented, procedural, and generic programming.
- Wide range of libraries and tools.
- Ability for low-level programming (memory and hardware access).
Disadvantages of C++:
- Language complexity, high likelihood of errors (e.g., memory leaks).
- Lack of automatic memory management (no built-in garbage collector).
- Long compilation times and difficulty maintaining large projects.
Example of dynamic memory allocation:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int* arr = new int[10]; // allocate an array of 10 elements
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
arr[i] = i * i;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
std::cout << arr[i] << " ";
}
delete[] arr; // free memory
return 0;
}
