Cbs:Pv:Xii:Assignment - 5: Pointers

This document contains 20 questions related to pointers in C++. It covers topics like pointer declaration and initialization, dynamic memory allocation, reference variables, functions returning pointers, accessing structure members using pointers, pointer arithmetic, self-referential structures, and memory leaks. It also contains questions testing pointer concepts like differences between pointers to constants vs constant pointers, use of this pointer, and programs to find largest element in an array, check for palindromes, and count characters using pointers.

pointer variable? Explain using suitable examples.
2. How will you declare and initialize a pointer? Give suitable example.
3. What do you understand by dynamic memory allocation/deallocation? What are
the merits and demerits of static and dynamic memory allocation?
4. Define variable, array and pointer.
5. Explain reference variables and use of alias with some suitable examples.
6. What do you understand by function returning a pointer? Give suitable example in
support of your answer.
7. Explain the function call by reference giving a suitable example in support of
your answer.
