Pointer to Pointer Dynamic Allocation

A pointer to pointer, denoted as double pointer (**).

This is a pointer that holds the memory address of another pointer. In simple words, it is a variable whose value is the address of another pointer. This concept might sound complex at first, but it provides a powerful mechanism for dealing with advanced dynamic memory allocation.

Syntax

cpp

main

copy

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int x = 10;
    int *ptr1 = &x;
    int **ptr2 = &ptr1;

    // Accessing values using double pointer
    std::cout << "Location of ptr2: " << ptr2 << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Location of ptr1: " << *ptr2 << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Value of x: " << **ptr2 << std::endl;
}

  • ptr1: is a pointer to an integer (int*);

  • ptr2: is a double pointer to an integer (int**).

Dynamic Allocation of a Two-Dimensional Array

If you want to create a two-dimensional array dynamically (at runtime) you have to use a pointer to a pointer for the rows.

And then initialize each row with dynamic array (like in previous chapter)

Opgave

Swipe to start coding

  • Dynamically allocate a two dimensional array.
  • Dynamically allocate the arrays as elements.
  • Free all allocated memory.
