Which operator is used to access a member through a pointer to a C++ structure object?

Options

B. ->

Answer: (B) ->

When a pointer points to a structure object, the arrow operator (->) is normally used to access its members.

Example:

struct Student { int marks; };
Student s;
Student *p = &s;
p->marks = 90;

The expression p->marks accesses the marks member through the pointer.

The same operation can also be written using dereferencing and the dot operator as (*p).marks.
