Chapter 10.12, Problem 10.18CP
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
- Pointer is a special type of variable used to store the address of the memory location, which can be accessed later.
- If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable, then that variable is referred as pointer variable.
- It is also called as dereferencing or indirection operator.
- Pointer is just a type of variable that stores the addresses of other variables.
- Using pointers, it is easy to access the address of a variable; the data stored in that variable can be retrieved.
Syntax of pointer variable declaration:
<variable-type> *<variable-name>;
Define the pointers to structures:
Define the pointers to structure is similar to pointer variable declaration.
Example:
//structure declaration
struct student
{
//variable declaration
string name;
//dynamically allocate array
int *score;
//variable declaration
int total;
};
Pointer is the definition to the above defined structure that can be given as follows:
//defining the pointer definition
student *stu1;

Programming Language: C++
Create an Abstract Data Type, which will store 2 integer number. After that, make operations which will set the value of the two numbers, add, subtract, multiply and divide. After creating the abstract data type, use it in the main class. Ask the user for the value of two integers. Ask the user what operation to use, then call the necessary operation based on the user's input. Then display the answer with the correct label.

Activity 1
This program firstly initializes an object of struct Cirele with values and then updates those
using pointers. The program uses structure notation once and pointer notation another
afterwards.
#include
#include
#define MIN 1
#define MAX 30
struct Circle {
float xCoord;
float yCoord;
float radius;
};
/* prototypes */
float getRandomNumber (int min, int max);
void printByValue(struct Circle cirobj);
void setValue(float *target, float newValue);
void printByReference(struct Circle *cirObj);
int main(void) {
/* Declare a struct circle and name it circleobject */
struct Circle circleObject;
/* Fill circleObject's members with random numbers */
circleobject.xCoord = getRandomNumber(MIN, MAX);
circleobject.yCoord = getRandomNumber (MIN, MAX);
circleobject.radius = getRandomNumber (MIN, MAX);
/* Printing values of the circle by calling function print by value */
printByValue(circleobject);
/* update values of circle one by one */
setValue (&circleobject.xCoord, getRandomNumber(MIN,…

As different roles will be present (players, coaches, referees, etc.) you are required to develop a class handling the data of a generic league member. For each person the following data is at least needed • first name as character array (36 characters characters including '\ 0') • last name as character array (36 characters) • date of birth as character array (11 characters, storage format is yyyy-mm-dd) In addition the whole team is located somewhere, so location is an additional static prop- erty of the class. Design and implement a class for holding these data. In addition add at least two other general properties to this class. The class, which will be called TournamentMember, should provide constructors (empty and parametric), a destructor and also a copy constructor. The class should also provide inline setter and getter methods…arrow_forwardC++ I need to create a 2D array map that can be displayed in the output like a 2D array visually.arrow_forward

It checks whether there is a command line argument of “/help” or“/?” or “-help” followed by a topic number. It will print out “yes, topic number(<number>) if there is one. Otherwise, it prints out “no, topic number(N/A) For example, if you run this program with correct arguments as follows, it willprint out yes and its associated topic number respectivelyshowHelp /? 101showHelp /debug /help 102showHelp /print /help 103 /verboseshowHelp -verbose -debug -help And if you run the program with invalid arguments, it will print no, in all casesshowHelp -helpshowHelp 101 /?showHelp 101 102 /help /verboseshowHelp /? /help -helpNote: command line arguments are simply an array of pointers to C-string. example code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char** argv){...}arrow_forward
