you shouldn't have to declare abc_p. that loop will assign element by element into abc_p, expanding it each time the size needs to increase for the assignment. this could get very slow for large arrays, as you are creating a copy of abc_p every time it needs to expand the size.  

Thank you for pointing that out - I hadn't considered that an expanding array would need to be re-defined and copied each time a new element is added. Here's another good coding practice for me to keep in mind.
