What are some common mistakes when using dynamic arrays?

Some common mistakes include not resizing the array properly, memory leaks, and accessing out-of-bounds elements.

Can you explain how to properly resize a dynamic array?

To resize a dynamic array, you typically allocate a new array with the desired size, copy the elements from the old array, and then free the old array.

What are memory leaks in the context of dynamic arrays?

Memory leaks occur when dynamically allocated memory is not freed, leading to wasted memory and potential application crashes.

How can I avoid accessing out-of-bounds elements?

Always check the current size of the array before accessing an index, and ensure your loops stay within the valid range.
