MIPS has 32 registers and all processes occur in the 32 registers. However, you’ve (probably) written many C++ programs that use more than just 32 variables (like arrays and data structures). What happens to those variables? Where do they go? How are they retrieved when they’re needed?

What does it imply to use preprocessor conditional compilation?

Is there a problem with the design of any of these components? Each pointer can only hold one sort of variable in most computer languages.

How are computer memory's local declarations stored? Why should local declarations be avoided if the same effect can be achieved without them? Why use value parameters if reference parameters may be used in any function? What are the benefits of using value parameters while running a program to process data?

What exactly does the term "pointer arithmetic" refer to?

How much of an improvement does segmented program memory translation have over a straight translation?

What does C++ mean by a memory leak? Why does it need to be addressed?
