Chapter 10.12, Problem 10.20CP
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
Pointer is a special type of variable 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, the address of a variable can be accessed and the data stored in that variable can be retrieved.
Syntax of pointer variable declaration:
<variable-type> *<variable-name>;
Usage of pointers to structures:
The usage of pointers to structure is same as declaring a pointer variable.

The computer ‘hides’ the treasure at a random location in a 10x10 matrix. The user guesses the location by entering a row and column values. The game ends when the user locates the treasure or the treasure value is less than or equal to zero. Guesses in the wrong location will provide clues such as a compass direction or number of squares horizontally or vertically to the treasure. Using the random number generator, display one of the following in the board where the player made their guess: U# Treasure is up ‘#’ on the vertical axis (where # represents an integer number). D# Treasure is down ‘#’ on the vertical axis (where # represents an integer number) || Treasure is in this row, not up or down from the guess location. -> Treasure is to the right. <- Treasure is to the left. -- Treasure is in the same column, not left or right. +$ Adds $50 to treasure and no $50 turn loss. -$ Subtracts…arrow_forwardC++arrow_forward
- One problem with dynamic arrays is that they don't carry around their size. Create a structure, DynArray which uses a unique pointer for a dynamic array (data), and an int for the size and capacity. dynarray.h #ifndef DYNARRAY_H #define DYNARRAY_H 1 2 3 4 #include #include 7 // Define the DynArray structure here 8 std::ostream& operator>(std::istream& in, DynArray& a); DynArray makeDA (int capacity); 10 11 12 13 #endif memory.cpp 1 #include #include #include "dynarray.h" using namespace std; 2 3 4 int main() { cout « "Array capacity: "; int capacity; cin >> capacity; 7 8 9 10 11 auto a = makeDA (capacity); cout « "Enter up to " > a; 12 13 14 15 16 cout « "a->" « a « endl; 17 }arrow_forward3. Define a structure array with three fields (name, age, year) and each field contains three values. Use struct2cell() and fieldnames() functions. 4.
