Chapter 3, Indirect Addressing: Pointers

1. a – f. Please see Assessments/Chapter03/Chp3-Q1.cpp in the GitHub repository.

d. (follow-up question) Print(Student) is less efficient than Print(const Student *) as the initial version of this function passes an entire object on the stack, whereas the overloaded version passes only a pointer on the stack.

2. Assuming we have an existing pointer to an object of type Student, such as: Student *s0 = new Student; (this Student is not yet initialized with data)

a. const Student *s1; (does not require initialization)

b. Student *const s2 = s0; (requires initialization)

c. const Student *const s3 = s0; (also requires initialization)

3. Passing an argument of type const Student * to Print() would allow a pointer to a Student to be passed into Print() for speed, yet the object pointed to could not be dereferenced and modified. Yet passing a Student * const as a parameter to Print() would not make sense because...
