Because a reference ( typically only the size of a pointer ) is usually much smaller than the object itself, this results in memory savings and a boost in execution speed.

Because indirection is a fundamental aspect of algorithms, pointers are often expressed as a fundamental data type in programming languages ; in statically ( or strongly ) typed programming languages, the type of a pointer determines the type of the datum to which the pointer points.

Because the C language does not specify an implicit initialization for objects of automatic storage duration, care should often be taken to ensure that the address to which points is valid ; this is why it is sometimes suggested that a pointer be explicitly initialized to the null pointer value, which is traditionally specified in C with the standardized macro:

Because of the pointer, the control data or return value can be changed without overflowing over the canary.

Because the type of object pointed to by the pointer is not determined at compile-time, the decision as to which branch to take cannot be decided at compile-time.

Because anthropology developed from so many different enterprises ( see History of Anthropology ), including but not limited to fossil-hunting, exploring, documentary film-making, paleontology, primatology, antiquity dealings and curatorship, philology, etymology, genetics, regional analysis, ethnology, history, philosophy, and religious studies, it is difficult to characterize the entire field in a brief article, although attempts to write histories of the entire field have been made.

Because forest canopies are usually higher than this, rain drops can often regain terminal velocity even after striking the canopy.

* Because the device is never shut off completely there is no " turn on " time, little problem with charge storage, and generally better high frequency performance and feedback loop stability ( and usually fewer high-order harmonics ).
