    Default Memory management in Qt?

    I'm quite new to Qt and am wondering on some basic stuff with memory management and the life of objects. When do I need to delete / destroy my objects? Is any of this handled automatically?

    In the example below, which of the objects I create do I need to delete? What happens to the instance variable myOtherClass when myClass is destroyed? What happens if I don't delete / destroy my objects at all, will that be a problem to memory?

    in MyClass.h:
    Qt Code:
    1. class MyClass
    2. {
    3.  
    4. public:
    5. MyClass();
    6. ~MyClass();
    7. MyOtherClass *myOtherClass;
    8. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in MyClass.cpp:

    Qt Code:
    1. MyClass::MyClass() {
    2. myOtherClass = new MyOtherClass();
    3.  
    4. MyOtherClass myOtherClass2;
    5.  
    6. QString myString = "Hello";
    7. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    As you can see this is quite newbie-easy stuff but where can I learn about this in an easy way?

    Thanks really much
