It/218 Week 4 Day 5 Arrays vs Pointers Checkpoint
CheckPoint : Arrays and Versus Pointers
Define the following and provide an example of each: * Pointer * Arrays
Answer the following questions and provide an example of each:
What is the difference between a one-dimensional and a two dimensional arrays?
Arrays store items that have the same type of data type like a group of employees’ names and social security numbers for a team of 2000 personal. Pointer is a variable that greatly extends the power and flexibility of a program, each memory location that is used to store data value has an address. The address provides the means for a PC hardware to reference a particular data item.
Ex. of an Array
// Ex4_02.cpp
// Demonstrating array initialization
#include < iostream >
#include < iomanip > using std::cout; using std::endl;
