Deleting dynamically allocated memory

[awong918]

How would I delete a pointer to an int?

class
{
int* thing;
}


class:class()
{
thing = new int;
}

Would I do delete[] thing or just delete thing?

I thought it was just delete thing because I thought it's not an array, so [] shouldn't be used. But then I came across a c-string defined as char* c and it seems a pointer can be treated as an array, since it was deleted with delete[] c. So I'm a little confused.

Thanks for any help!

If you new you delete, what you new[] you delete[].
