       1. new is an operator, malloc() is a function
       2. new returns objects of a specific type, malloc() returns
       void*
       3. new invokes constructor, malloc() doesn't
       4. bad_alloc exception is thrown by new if unable to allocate
       space on heap, malloc() returns null pointer if unable to
       allocate space on heap
