- Two variables can have the same address.
- Address is bound to a variable by the compilier.
- Value of a variable can be an address.
113. Feature of accessing a variable through its address is desirable beccause
- call by reference can be simulated
- call by value can be simulated
- a function can return more than one value
- excessive use of global variables can be avoided
114. int i = 5; is a statement in a C program. Which of the following are true ?
- During execution, value of i may change but not its address
- During execution bothh the address and value may change
- repeated execution may result in different addresses for i
- I may not have an associated address
115. Choose the correct statements.
- Address operator cannot be applied to register variables.
- Address operator can be applied to register variables.
- Misuse of register declaration will increase the execution time.
- None of the above
116. Choose the best answer.
- it should be declared
- it should be initialized
- it shouldd be both declared and initialized
- none of the above
117. The operators > and < meaningful when used with pointers, if
- the pointers point to data of similar type
- the pointers point to structure of similar data type
- the pointers point to elements of the same array
- none of these
118. A set of names can be represented as a

- one-dimensional array of strings
- one-dimensional array of pointers to charcter
- none of the these
119. If arr is a two dimensional array of 10 rows and 12 columns, then arr [5] logically points to the
- sixth row
- fifth row
- fifth column
- sixth column
120. While sorting a set of names, representing the names as an array of pointers is preferable to representing the names as a two dimensional array of characters, because
- storage needed will be proportional to the size of the data
- execution will be faster
