Scope of Dynamic Variables

• Static variables - usual rules apply
• Dynamic variables have global scope

int* nptr;         // compile time binding
                   // static memory allocation of type int*
nptr = new int;    // run time binding
                   // dynamic memory allocation of type int
...
delete nptr;       // run time unbinding

• Usual scope rules apply to nptr
• Variable allocated at *nptr has global scope
• This variable remains in scope even after nptr goes out of scope
