Instantiating classes using new : <p>comming from other programming language why can't I do this in c++:</p>

<pre><code>myClass mc = new myClass();
</code></pre>

<p>it seems that it suffices to just write:</p>

<pre><code>myClass mc;
</code></pre>

<p>but then what if I want to use make mc be a new instance of myClass and dump the existing one?</p>
