In languages such as C or C++, developers have the features to create pointers or *, which is an object that stores the memory address of another variable.

A dangling pointer is a potential situation that could exist in C when a pointer object is still pointing to a memory location that is no longer allocated in the application. Please refer to the following diagram:
In the diagram, we have an application running in C or ...
