Hi Milena, > char* c = new char(1024); This allocates a single character, initialized with the value 1024. (Since 1024 is bigger than what a char can hold on most systems, it will get sliced.) >I know that the correct form of this memory allocation is "[1024]" and not "(1024)" but sometimes it occurs by mistake. Both forms are correct. You can allocate an array of char. You can allocate a single char. >The compiler is not supposed to complain about it??? No, there is nothing to complain about. You are allowed to allocate a single object. HTH, --Eljay
