Re: use for dynamic memory allocation

Actually arrays are one of the things I use dynamic memory for.  Why have
every user with memory allocated for a 10,000 x 10 byte array when most of
the time only 40 or 50 elements are in use.

I also pointers (and sometimes dynamic memory) with Multiple Occurrence
Data Structures because it gives me the ability to directly
compare/calculate/etc. between two or more occurrences.

I also use pointers a lot when interacting with C functions (no choice but
to use them) but haven't found a use for linked lists lately.
