Question
What will happen when you try to compile and run the following code segment,
assuming the remainder of the code is error-free, and the compiler supports C++ 11?
int* ptr = nullptr;
int x = 5;
cout << *ptr << endl;
It will print out nullptr.
It won't compile,since ptr was initialized to nullptr.
A runtime error will occur; the program terminates on the cout statement.
It varies from comiler to compiler.
