Question
Which of the following is NOT a fact about the heap?(1 point)
A heap is ordered, sequential, and smaller than a stack.
Access to and from the heap is slower than access to and from a stack.
When an object is created, it typically goes into the heap, and a reference to the object goes into the stack.
A memory leak may occur when a heap gets too large.

The statement that is NOT a fact about the heap is:
**A heap is ordered, sequential, and smaller than a stack.**
This statement is misleading because:
1. A heap is not necessarily ordered (it can be a data structure that maintains a specific order, but in general programming terminology, the heap refers to a region of memory and doesn't imply an ordering).
2. "Sequential" is not an accurate descriptor of a heap in terms of memory allocation; memory allocation in a heap is dynamic and can be fragmented over time.
3. The size of the heap compared to the stack is not fixed; it can vary depending on the system and the application's requirements.
Thus, this statement contains inaccuracies regarding the characteristics of the heap memory compared to stack memory.
