    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
