Deleting a pointer's target array element

In the code

SOME_CLASS* class_arr = new SOME_CLASS[4];

I know i can delete the entire pointer's target by

delete class_arr

, but why cant i delete the second element in the pointer's target's array

delete (class_arr+2)

, for example?


My guess is that this method of allocating the memory will allocate memory consequtively and form a certain continuity between the 4 class objects on the heap, and breaking this contunity between each element is not allowed, but i really have no clue.

Thanks!
and Happy Holidays.
