  • Q1. What is pointer ?
  • Ans. 

    A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable.

    • Pointers are used to manipulate memory directly.

    • They can be used to pass large data structures to functions without copying them.

    • Pointers can be used to create dynamic data structures like linked lists and trees.

    • They can also be used to access hardware directly.

    • Examples of pointer types include int*, char*, and void*.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Fibonacci series with and without recursion
  • Ans. 

    Answering Fibonacci series with and without recursion

    • Fibonacci series is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones

    • Recursion method involves calling the function within itself

    • Non-recursive method involves using a loop to calculate the series

    • Recursive method is slower and can cause stack overflow for large inputs

    • Non-recursive method is faster and more efficient for large inputs

  • Answered by AI

  • Ans. 

    Print series of prime numbers

    • Start with 2 as the first prime number

    • Check if each number greater than 2 is divisible by any number less than it
