a) 2
b) 1
c) 3
d) Insufficient information given to solve problem.

14. Which of these would be BEST to do before using a pointer to access memory?

a) Make sure sufficient memory exists to use the pointer.

NOTE

When you take exam #2, you will also have to write some code. Make sure you know how to properly use pointers, character string handling functions, and arrays. You should also review the fundamentals from exam #1.
