What is a reference variable in C++?
What is a reference variable in C++?
- A reference variable is an alias for an existing variable, created with the % operator
- A reference variable is a "reference" to an existing variable, created with the & operator (correct)
- A reference variable is a pointer to an existing variable, created with the * operator
- A reference variable is a copy of an existing variable, created with the = operator
How is a named structure created in C++?
How is a named structure created in C++?
- By declaring a variable with the name of the structure as the data type
- By using the define keyword followed by the name of the structure
- By putting the name of the structure right after the struct keyword (correct)
- By using the typedef keyword followed by the name of the structure
What does the & operator do in C++?
What does the & operator do in C++?
- Perform bitwise AND operation and get the result as an address
- Indicate logical AND operation and retrieve the address of a variable
- Create a pointer variable and get the value stored in a memory address

Study Notes
C++ Structures
- A structure is a way to group several related variables into one place, each known as a member of the structure.
- Unlike an array, a structure can contain many different data types (int, string, bool, etc.).
- To create a structure, use the
structkeyword and declare each of its members inside curly braces.
Declaring a Structure
- After the declaration, specify the name of the structure variable.
- Example:
struct MyStructure { ... };
Accessing Structure Members
- Use the dot syntax (.) to access members of a structure.
- Example:
myStructure.memberVariable
Using One Structure in Multiple Variables
- Use a comma (,) to declare multiple variables with the same structure.
- Example:
struct MyStructure { ... }; MyStructure var1, var2, var3;
Named Structures
- By giving a name to the structure, you can treat it as a data type.
- This allows you to create variables with this structure anywhere in the program at any time.
