Question 1

What does static allocation ensure?

  • Memory is allocated at runtime
  • Memory is fixed and allocated at compile time
  • Memory can be resized dynamically

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about when memory resources are predetermined.

Question 2

True or False: Static allocation supports recursion.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how recursion involves multiple states.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are creating a function that should count the calls it receives and retain its count through multiple invocations. Would you use static allocation or another method? Justify your answer.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how persisting data is managed between different function executions.

Question 2

Examine a scenario in a memory-intensive application where static allocation leads to performance degradation. What strategies could be implemented to mitigate this issue?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider dynamic alternatives for variable-sized requirements.
