The big thing is to use new with delete or malloc with free. As long as you use one pair you should be fine. What makes new better than malloc besides it is C++ where malloc is more of a C function? I always use new for Qt objects and malloc when dynamically creating arrays.

If you use the 3-dimensional array make sure to free/delete every pointer and not just the overlying pointer.

The main difference is that new operator invokes objects' constructors, while malloc() doesn't (same for free() vs. delete).

Also it can throw an exception when allocation fails and you don't need any sizeofs or casts, so the code is cleaner.

I always wondered what the difference was but never had an opportunity to look it up when I was thinking about it. Thanks!
