Since the pointers point to a memory location issues of dangling pointers and wild pointers can occur.
Dangling pointers are those pointers when the data at which they are pointed may have been modified or deleted.
But still the pointer points to that location.
The pointers that are not initialized lead to wild pointers because they will be pointing to some arbitrary memory.
Also memory leaks occur,if a memory is not released.
