Pointer  -  A variable that holds an address, or location in memory.

Address  -  A location in the computer's memory.

Pass by Value  -  The process by which a function receives a copy of a variable; the variable's value in the caller cannot be changed by the called function.

Pass by Reference  -  Passing by reference means passing a variable's address to a function. By defining a function that accepts pointers, one gains the ability to change the parameter's value in the calling function (ie. outside the scope of the current function).

Struct  -  A struct is a structure that groups together related variables, thus forming a new data type.

NULL  -  A special pointer value that indicates that the pointer does not refer to a valid location in memory.

New  -  The new operator tells the C++ compiler to allocate a space in memory that will host the specified variable type.

Delete  -  The delete operator frees memory allocated with new.

Array  -  An array is a basic data structure with a fixed number of elements. Arrays allow fast access to their elements using bracket notation.

Index  -  The index of an array element is the element's number in the array. Indices begin at 0, so an array of size n will have indices from 0 to n - 1.

Element  -  An element of an array is one of the values that the array holds.
