Answer Posted / krishnarao panchadi
Syntactically we can use "free" in place of "delete". But
semantically it is senseless as it wont call the destructor.
Note that, deallocating is not the only purpose of
using "delete". The destructor should also be called if you
call the constructor(while creating the object).
Failing to call "delete" may lead to system crash.
Using "free" wont call the desturctor.
