Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

A pointer is kept and used after its memory was released. Which flaw is this?

 

The pointer outlives the memory. That is use after free.

Lesson 1, A crash from one stray pointer, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

What does the example print?

 

a[1] is the second value, which is 2.

Lesson 3, Pointers and arrays safely, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Why does a leak slow a service over time?

 

Memory that is never released builds up until the system runs short.

Lesson 4, Common memory-safety flaws, teaches this. See the outline
