Address stored in the pointer variable is of type _______.Question 4Answera.Arrayb.Floatc.Integerd. Character

To answer the question regarding the type of the address stored in a pointer variable, let's analyze the options provided:

1. Pointer Variables Overview: A pointer variable holds the memory address of another variable. The type of data the pointer is pointing to determines how we interpret the data at that address.

2. Option Analysis:

   • a. Array: While pointers can reference arrays, the pointer itself is not of type array.
   • b. Float: A pointer can point to a float variable, but its type is not inherently float; it depends on what it’s pointing to.
   • c. Integer: Similarly, a pointer can point to an integer variable but isn’t classified as such.
   • d. Character: A pointer can also point to a character variable.

3. Final Conclusion: The address held by a pointer is fundamentally a memory address and is not confined to a specific data type like an array, float, integer, or character. However, it is typically associated with the type of data it points to.

Thus, the pointer's type is not simply an explicit type like the options given; rather, it is a memory address. However, if you are expected to choose from the provided options, the answer would be context-dependent based on the pointer's intended use.

Final Answer

The address stored in the pointer variable is of type address (or memory address). However, it could also point to any of the specified types (Array, Float, Integer, Character) based on what data type it references.
