    Question



    Which of the following statements about pointers in C are TRUE?
    A. Pointers can be used to access array elements.
    B. Pointers can store the address of another pointer.
    C. Pointers are automatically deferenced in expression.
    D. Pointers cannot be used to access structure members.
    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A.

    A and C only

    B.

    A and B only

    C.

    B and C only

    D.

    C and D only

    Correct option is B


    A. Pointers can be used to access array elements: (True) Pointers can be used to traverse arrays and access array elements using pointer arithmetic.
    B. Pointers can store the address of another pointer: (True) Pointers can hold the memory address of other pointers, creating multi-level pointers.
    C. Pointers are automatically dereferenced in expression: (False) Pointers need to be explicitly dereferenced using the * operator.
    D. Pointers cannot be used to access structure members: (False) Pointers can access structure members using the -> operator.
    Information Booster:
    1. Pointers and Arrays: Pointers can traverse arrays by storing the address of the array’s first element.
    2. Pointer-to-Pointer: Multi-level pointers (e.g., int **ptr) can hold the address of another pointer.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Dereferencing Pointers: Explicit dereferencing is required in expressions, where the * operator retrieves the value stored at the memory address.
    · Accessing Structure Members: The -> operator is used to access structure members through pointers.
