To compare and contrast dynamic memory allocation and deallocation operators new, new[], delete and delete[].

Explanation of Solution

The following table shows the differences.

    S. No. NewDelete New[]Delete[]
    1.Dynamically allocates memory for a variable or object. Dynamically de-allocates memory for a variable or object. Dynamically allocates memory for an array.Dynamically de-allocates memory for an array.
    2.Arguments passed to initialize class constructorNo arguments needed to be passed to call destructorArguments passed to initialize array size (bytes).No arguments needed to be passed to call destructor.
    3.Memory de-allocation must be done using delete operator.Memory allocation must be done using new operator. Memory deallocation must be done using delete[] operator.Memory allocation must be done using new[] operator.
    4.Returns address of allocated object. Returns void() and sets memory to NULL.Returns address of first element of allocated array.Returns void() and sets all memory to NULL.
    5.For example,
    int *xPtr;
    xPtr= new int;
    For example,
    delete xPtr;
    For example,
    int *xPtr;
    xPtr= new int[10];
    For example,
    Delete[] xptr;

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
