Coding Hints to Follow!
	• Minimize operations that return pointers to new heap objects • Doing so would require the caller to (1) capture the returned pointer and (2) eventually deallocate the memory • Never return a reference to a local stack object • The object is gone when the function exits • Never return a reference to a newly allocated heap object • Deleting the memory is not intuitive • Therefore, only return a reference to an object that exists prior to the function call
