Task related to pointers : Write a c++ program that asks the user to enter integers as inputs to be stored in the variables 'a' and 'b' respectively. There are also two integer pointers named ptrA and ptrB. Assign the values of 'a' and 'b' to ptrA and ptrB respectively, and display them. ( Drop code in words , explain the code and drop the screenshot of output as well )

1. Pointer Tasks This part of the assignment will give you a chance to perform some simple tasks with pointers. The instructions below are a sequence of tasks that are only loosely related to each other. Start the assignment by creating a file named pointerTasks.cpp with an empty main function, then add statements in main() to accomplish each of the tasks listed below. Some of the tasks will only require a single C++ statement, others will require more than one. For each step, include a comment in your program indicating which step you are completing in the following statement(s). The easiest way to do this is copy and paste the below into your main function first, and then fill in your statements. // 1. Create two integer variables named x and y// 2. Create an int pointer named p1// 3. Store the address of x in p1// 4. Use p1 to set the value of x to 99// 5. Using cout and x, display the value of x// 6. Using cout and the pointer p1, display the value of x// 7. Store the address…

Minutes(using Pointers) by Catherine Arellano Write a program that will accept an integer value from 0000 to 2359. It will then extract the first 2 values of the integer to be the hours, and the last 2 to be the minutes. Implement the following functions: void extracts(int* time, int* hour, int* min); /* extract the hours and minutes from the time and stores the result to the address of hour and min respectively.*/ void display (int* hour, int* min); /*display the hours and minutes*/ Note: You are not allowed to edit main.c and Time.h. Input A time in format HHMM 1430 Output Hours and minutes Hour: 14 Minutes: 30 main.c Time.h 1 #include 2 #include "Time.h" 3 int main(void) { M456909 7 8 } int time, hour, min; scanf("%d",&time); extracts (time, &hour, &min); display (&hour, &min); return 0;
