Allocating some garbage collected memory:

an array:
SomeType[] a = new SomeType[somePositiveInteger];
or
SomeType[][] m = new SomeType[][](somePosInt, someOtherPosInt);

a class
SomeClass b = new SomeClass(/*constructor args*/)



Sure, you can use malloc and free, but then of course you have to 
manage everything yourself
