Hey everyone,

I put together a video on Dynamic Memory Allocation in C++ — part of an OOP series I'm building for people prepping for interviews/DSA who want solid fundamentals, not just surface-level definitions.

Covers:

• Stack vs Heap — the real differences, not just textbook definitions
• Why taking array size as user input on the Stack is a bad idea (and often breaks across compilers)
• How new actually allocates on the Heap at runtime
• Why you need a pointer on the Stack to access Heap data
• Using delete properly to avoid memory leaks

I tried to explain the "why" behind these concepts since most tutorials just show syntax without explaining what's actually happening in memory.

Would love feedback — anything unclear, anything you'd want covered next in the series (constructors/destructors, virtual functions, etc.), or just general thoughts. Not trying to spam, genuinely want to make this series useful.

Thanks!
