Assignment

#1 This question has 4 parts.

a) In general, when is it better to allocate an object statically on the stack (as opposed to dynamically on the heap)? Give an example of a programming scenario where an object should certainly be stack-allocated.

b) Now the opposite question: in general, when is it better to allocate an object dynamically on the heap (as opposed to the statically on the stack)? Give an example of a programming scenario where an object should certainly be heap-allocated.

c) In general, when is it better to use a reference reference over a pointer pointer? Give an example of a programming scenario where it is certainly better to use a reference.

d) Now the opposite question: in general, when is it better to use a pointer pointer over a reference reference? Give an example of a programming scenario where it is certainly better to use a pointer.

#2 Write a snippet of C++ code that does the following:

a) Create an array of 100,000 float elements that is allocated on the heap.
b) Initialize each element to 0.0.
c) Free the memory associated with the array.
