int main()
{
char *name = NULL;
name = new char[11];
cout << strlen(name);
return 0;
}
question about 'operator new'

here is the code:
Yes, it's because of "random garbage". Since you are dynamically allocating the memory, there is no guarantee that the memory will be set to zero.
To get the desired result (0), you must set the first place of name to \0.
There is usually no need to do this, since you will probably use string functions (such as strcpy() or gets()) that will make sure that the \0 is at the correct place, before you use the strlen() function.

It's easy Nazrix, put all code in [ source] code goes here [ /source] blocks (without the spaces in the tags).
I noticed that it doesn't color void when it's inside ()... Weird.

int main(void){int i;for(i = 0; i < 5000; i++){printf("%d\n", i);}return 0;} I noticed that it doesn't color void when it's inside ()... Weird.

#include <stdio.h> int main ( void ){puts("Hey that's cool! Thanks.");} PS Muzzafarath, if you put void with spaces around it, it is blue...just figured that out

int Sprite::DistanceTo( Sprite *s ){ return (int)Distance(x,y,s->x,s->y);} Cool...
