Why don't we use astrix in free up of pointer ?i.e. (delete*p)???

Question

someone can tackle this out plss

Answer 1

Because at runtime the code context has changed the meaning of the asterisk from "definition" to "dereferencing" -- it already knows the variable type is a pointer.

Answer 2

You don't want to delete the value *p, but the whole pointer p.

Really though, just use smart pointers.
