Answer / ramudu a
The main advantages of using pointers are
1.) Function cannot return more than one value. But when the same function can modify many pointer variables and function as if it is returning more than one variable.
2.) In the case of arrays, we can decide the size of the array at runtime by allocating the necessary space.
3.)Pointers allow you to dynamically request memory to store off information for use later.
4.)They allow you to create linked lists and other algorithmically oriented data structures.

Answer / vignesh1988i
1) pointers which points to a value indirectly through that variable containing that value..... so pointers are used for data security.
2) only by using pointers through functions we can return MORE THAN ONE VALUE AT A TIME.....
3) as above told execution will be faster.....

Question 1: You want to conduct a survey within your classroom, on the quality of canteen’s food. You ask each of your class fellows to rank the quality of food between 1 and 5 (1 representing excellent quality and 5 representing worst quality). During the survey, you make a list containing the roll# of student and the opinion given by that student. The list can be as follow Roll # Opinion 234 1 235 1 236 5 237 1 238 2 239 3 240 5 241 5 242 1 To get the results of the survey, you need to determine the frequency of each opinion value. The frequency of an opinion is determined by counting the number of students giving that opinion. For example, for the above list the frequency of opinion value 1 is 4 and frequency of opinion value 4 is 0. After getting the frequency of each opinion, you can easily judge about the quality of the food by seeing through the frequency of each opinion. You need to develop a program to calculate the results of this survey. The program inputs the opinion of 50 students and counts the frequency of each opinion. It then displays a report showing the frequency of each opinion. Sample output: Opinion Frequency Remarks 1 5 Excellent 2 10 Good 3 15 Normal 4 10 Bad 5 10 Really bad
