Question

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

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT a fact about the heap is:

"A heap is ordered, sequential, and smaller than a stack."

This statement is incorrect because a heap does not have to be ordered or sequential (in fact, the term "heap" refers to a type of data structure where certain properties are maintained, such as the heap property for heaps used in algorithms, but this does not imply sequential ordering). Additionally, the size of a heap is not inherently smaller than a stack; it depends on the specific usage and allocation of memory in the application.
