Pointers that will be allocated memory with {{codeline|new}} should be initialized with the C++ literal {{codeline|nullptr}}, not the numerical value 0 or the macro {{codeline|NULL}}. | |||
The {{codeline|delete}} keyword accepts {{codeline|nullptr}} and programmers should not put an {{codeline|if (ptr)}} guard around {{codeline|delete}}. | |||
