If you use the new operator on a class, say
class dummy { public: string f; };
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
dummy *p = new dummy;
return 0;
}do you have to use the delete operator on p ? (since, apparently, it utilizes new.)

Yes, when you want to release that memory, 'delete' needs to be issued.
