Problem Statement

Create a `Tracked` class. Overload its `operator new` to print ‘Allocating’ and return `::operator new(size)`. Overload its `operator delete` to print ‘Deallocating’ and call `::operator delete(p)`. Dynamically allocate and free a `Tracked` object.

Input Format

None

Output Format

Print the sequence of overloaded operations.

Constraints

None

Sample Output

Allocating
Deallocating

Explanation

C++ lets you overload memory allocation operators at the class level, allowing custom memory pooling, tracking, or debugging routines.

Starter Code

#include <iostream>

class Tracked {
public:
    // Overload new and delete here
};

int main() {
    // Allocate and delete Tracked object
    return 0;
}
