a3q2 using new/malloc in main

[Rachel]

According to the assignment specifications, we are not allowed to use
new/malloc in the routine processOneFile. However, are we still
allowed to use new/malloc in the main function? For example, can I
use the code from reversewords.cc, which dynamically allocates space
for the input and output streams to handle my I/O in question 2? Or
do I have to keep all my input and output on the stack? Thanks

You are allowed to use dynamic allocation in the main function.

The restriction only applies to the routine processOneFile.
