Problem with Deleting

[rachelle]

In C++ we have delete to delete objects once the object is finished using. I want to delete an array of objects given below
char *e = new char[50];

For doing this when I gave delete I got error message from compiler. Why is it so? Can’t I use delete to delete the above array of objects? Someone kindly troubleshoot this error.

You have got the error in your program because you have made used to delete. But for deleting array of objects you have to use delete[]. Only for deleting an object we use delete but for deleting array of object one must make use of delete[].So replace delete with delete[] in your program and your program would execute successfully.
