If gPtr is a pointer that points to the first element of an integer array (and each integer requires four bytes of storage), *(gPtr + 4 * 4) references the variable that is four integers beyond the variable pointed to by gPtr.

Integer Array

A data structure that stores a collection of integers in a contiguous block of memory, allowing indexed access.

Bytes

The basic unit of storage in computer memory, often consisting of 8 bits.

gPtr

Often used as a variable name in programming, typically denoting a pointer to a global variable or structure.

  • Recognize the limitations and capabilities of pointer arithmetic (including addition, subtraction, and comparisons).

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The expression *(gPtr + 4) would reference the variable that is four integers beyond the variable pointed to by gPtr, not *(gPtr + 4 * 4). Adding 4 to the pointer moves it to the fifth element, as pointer arithmetic is based on the size of the pointed-to type, not byte offsets.
