Examples   
char *speeds = new char[4];  // creates a new char array 
 
void setup() { 
  speeds[0] = 'a';  // set elements of the array 
  speeds[1] = 'b'; 
  speeds[2] = 'c'; 
 
  // ... 
 
  delete [] speeds;  // releases the memory allocated for the array, from now on the array can't be used 
} 
 
void loop() { 
  // ... 
}

Description   Deletes or releases the memory allocated for an object with the new oeprator. The keyword delete is typically used similarly to the applications in the above example. In this example, a new array of chars called "speeds" is created, used and then deleted. Operators new and delete can only be used with simple datatypes: int, long or char.
