- Memory allocated "on the fly" during run time.
- dynamically allocated space usually placed in a program segment known as the heap or the free store.
- Exact amount of space or number of items does not have to be known by the compiler in advance.
- For dynamic memory allocation, pointers are crucial.
What does it mean to dynamically allocate memory?
Dynamic memory allocation is the process of assigning the memory space during the execution time or the run time. Reasons and Advantage of allocating memory dynamically: When we do not know how much amount of memory would be needed for the program beforehand.
Why do we dynamically allocate memory in C++?

The most important use of dynamic memory allocation is the flexibility as the programmers are free to allocate and deallocate memory whenever we need and when we don't.
