It is a special kind of variable that is used to point to a memory address

• struct

• address

• pointer

• asterisk (*)

In C, in order to do operations to the data being referenced by a pointer you would need to use the (*) operator, which is called

• referencing operator

• dereferencing operator

• back pointer operator

• logical operator

Data structures are an arrangement of data in computer's disk

RAM is where instructions and data are temporarily stored. What does RAM stand for?

• Read Access Memory

• Random Access Memory

• Read All Memory

• Random Aim Memory

Main memory, or RAM, is (a)   . This means data and instructions stored within are lost once the computer is powered down.
