pointers

A very powerful feature in C and C++. I have sometimes missed the days which I have hours and hours of headache and fun figuring out how to use or read those *******... hahahaaa... *smiles*

But pointers can be misused. Pointing to memory addresses outside of your array can allow your program to access data that you did not initialise. If you know the address of sensitive data, who knows what you can do to them.

Pointing to data outside of your jurisdiction is a no-no. Similarly, pointing fingers at someone else can be hurting as well. No prizes for guessing correctly at which end of the pointing I was at, but it just reminds me of this:

One have to trust others to do the work one is unable to do. This trust is tested when something fails. If the responsibility is unison, the trust is strengthened. Thus with trust, the work fulfilled.
