i wonder if i create an object from a class using new operator, and if i dont delete that object when i am finished using it, does it still remain in the memory after the program reaches the and of the main function?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, it does remain. If new operator is used u need to delete explicitly.
No, ma'am, we are musicians.

It doesn't remain "in memory" because the process has completed and all of its memory is reclaimed by the operating system.

Well that depends on your OS.
Your average desktop with an OS which runs each process in a separate address space will reclaim the space when the program exits.
But if you're programming on say a mobile phone, where there is no virtual memory, and not a lot of operating system, then a thread which dies will just leave a big mess in memory with no clear way of fixing it.
