man i had an interview the other day and i choked on the easiest question! what are the main advantages of pointers. i coudl have mentioned dynamic memory allocation, its use in double buffering (animation), loads of examples where pointers would save tons of time and space and convenience, but noo i had to choke and say somethign stupid. what is wrong with me?? i hvae great grades and am a good programmer, but i suck at technical interviews. how do i get rid of this career crippling interview-fright?
