1. What is heap fragmentation? Why is it bad? 2. C++ does not check for array bounds. How bad can this be? 3. We have been given the following code fragment for a runnable program: int main(){ int first = 5; int second = 10; int third = 15; int array [10]; int i; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++){ array [i] = 0; modifyArray (array); if (first == 6){ getCandy (); Jelse{ destroyWorld (); return 0; } void modifyArray (int array){ array [0] = 6; As can be seen, this code provides a strong dilemma. Running this code at the moment will destroy the world. For an unspecified reason, we are unable to alter the main function but are allowed to insert lines into the modify Array function. Is it possible that we gain free candy without destroying the world? Is it guaranteed that it works? Can you suggest a solution that at least saves the world? 1. What is heap fragmentation?
