Study Notes

Pointer variables store the address where another object resides
They are used in many data structures
Storing each item in a separate noncontiguous piece of memory is common
Each object has a link to the next object, which is a pointer variable
This creates a linked list
Pointers are used to dynamically allocate memory
The IntCell class is used to illustrate dynamic memory allocation
Dynamic memory allocation is useful and necessary for more complicated classes
The new version of the IntCell class is shown in Figure 1.11
Insertion into a contiguous array requires relocation of many items
