Question

References to object are same as pointers of object.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in an online quiz.

I would like to ask this question from Pointer to Objects topic in division Assigning Object, Pointer to Objects, Passing and Returning Object of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) False

Easy explanation - The references are made to object when the object is created and initialized with another object without calling any constructor. But the object pointer must be declared explicitly using * symbol that will be capable of storing some address. Hence both are different.
