Transcription: Unlike the stack and the data area, memory from the FreeStore can be allocated and deallocated explicitly by a C++ program. The creation and destruction of objects in FreeStore during the execution of a program is called dynamic memory allocation. The C++ language includes two operators, new and delete, to support this powerful feature. Dynamic memory is often used for data structures such as linked lists, for which storage requirements can vary greatly during program execution.
