Explanation of Solution

Use of pointers to pass C-string argument:

In C++, for passing C-string argument the pointers are extremely useful. Each letter is passed through the pointer parameter variable. It will read until the null character, are part of the string.

Example program:

Consider the example that defines a function that uses a pointer to count the number of times a particular letter appears in a C-string is as follows:

//Header files

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

//function prototype

int count(char*, char c);

// Define Main function

int main()

{

//Declare the constant variable

const int S = 20;

// Declare the variables as char type

char str[S], l;

//Get the input string from the user

cout << "Enter the string: ";

cin.getline(str, S);

//Get the letter from the user

cout << "Enter a letter: ";

cin >> l;

//call the function

cout << "The total number of times the " << ...

pointers as Arguments:In the C programming language there is no pass-by-reference syntax to passa variable by reference to a function. Instead a variable is passed by pointer(just to be confusing, sometimes passing by pointer is referred to as pass byreference). This Practice Program asks you to do the same thing as C.Here is the header for a function that takes as input a pointer to an integer:1. void addOne (int ∗ptrNum )Complete the function so it adds one to the integer referenced by ptrNum.Write a main function where an integer variable is defined, give it an initialvalue, call addOne, and output the variable. It should be incremented by 1.
In C++ Declare a Character Pointer and allocate a dynamic array of 22 characters.
