In this unusually long video, we go over some of the pointer pitfalls like returning a pointer to a stack variable, or storing a pointer to a vector element (dont do that ;) ) We also go over coding style a bit at the end of the video!

In this episode we learn how to allocate variables on the heap using the new operator, and how to delete them from the heap with delete or delete[]! We also learn a little more about the difference between a by reference parameter and a pointer, and we learn that we should use nullptr instead of NULL :)
