Answer Posted / manish
We use the pointer instead of the because of the fast
access of the data as pointer provides direct memory access.
Also, soemtimes passing the ;large structure variable in
the function argument requires large memoy stack but by
passing the pointer to the structure inside the function
will reduce the stack size.
