- Q1. C++ Pointer, address debugging question
- Ans.
Understanding C++ pointers and address debugging is crucial for effective memory management and error resolution.
Pointers store memory addresses, allowing direct access to variables.
Example: int* ptr = &var; // ptr holds the address of var.
Dereferencing a pointer: *ptr gives the value at the address stored in ptr.
Pointer arithmetic: ptr++ moves the pointer to the next memory location.
Null pointers: Always initializ...
