Freds solution is the best because it is exception safe, but the
golden rule is:

when ever You use the keyword new it should be matched with the
keyword delete
and when You use new [] it should be matched with delete[]

1. int *x[10];
nothing.

2. int *y = new int[10];
delete[] y;

3. Object *obj = new Object();
delete obj;

etc.

But again Freds solution is better, because the vector takes care of the
deletion when the vector runs out of scoop, even if there is an exception.
