In C, do we have to define 'data types' for variables?

What is a pointer?

1 point

It is regular variable.

It is a regular variable, but it stores an 'address' in memory rather than a value.

Clear selection

If I dereference a pointer, is that always safe? (e.g. *myValue = 5;)

1 point

If the pointer does not point to anything (e.g. it is NULL or we did not give it an initial value), then our program will segfault!

Yes, it is alawys safe.

What is a segfault?

1 point

A segfault is when you access a piece of memory you do not own. If we think about it, we do not want our programs to be able to access every single piece of memory on our machine (This way if one program crashes, it does not crash the system).
