Using the above C++ statements I am trying to create a C++ program that contains five more statements. The first statement makes intPtr point to x by using the address-of operator.  The second statement dereferences intPtr and stores the value 5 into x via indirect addressing. The third statement prints the actual memory address of where the variable x is stored. The fourth prints the contents of intPtr. The fifth prints the contents of x. Show your source code and program output.

int x;

int* intPtr;

Using the above C++ statements I am trying to create a C++ program that contains five more statements. The first statement makes intPtr point to x by using the address-of operator.  The second statement dereferences intPtr and stores the value 5 into x via indirect addressing. The third statement prints the actual memory address of where the variable x is stored. The fourth prints the contents of intPtr. The fifth prints the contents of x. Show your source code and program output.

Expert Solution

x is a variable

intPtr is a pointer variable which stores address of a variable

For address of variable, we use &variable_name

For dereferencing pointer, we use *pointer_variable
