Chapter 10.5, Problem 10.6CP
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
Pointer, the name itself references the purpose of the pointer. Pointers point to a location in memory.
- 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, we can access the address of a variable; the data stored in that variable can be retrieved.
Syntax of pointer variable declaration:
<variable-type> *<variable-name>;

Using C++ programming language:
Assume intptr is a pointer to an int. Write a statement that will dynamically allocate an array of 100 integers and store its address in intptr. Also, write a statement that will free the memory allocated in the statement you just wrote.
Using C++ Programming language:
Given the following definitions:
int num1=1, num2=2;
int *ptr1=NULL, *ptr2=NULL;
Write the following statements:
Assign ptr1 to the address of num1.
Assign ptr2 to the address of num2.
Using pointer notation, write a statement that compares the values that the pointers "point" to to see which is larger. (There is more than one way to do this. You choose.)
How may the address of a variable be added to a pointer variable? Why is the code below
problematic?

- Create a program and flowchart for the following: Write a program that uses random-number generation to create sentences. The program should use four arrays of pointers to char called article, noun, verb and preposition. The program should create a sentence by selecting a word at random from each array in the following order: article, noun, verb, preposition, article and noun. As each word is picked, it should be concatenated to the previous words in an array large enough to hold the entire sentence. The words should be separated by spaces. When the final sentence is output, it should start with a capital letter and end with a period. The program should generate 20 such sentences. The arrays should be filled as follows: The article array should contain the articles "the", "a", "one", "some" and "any"; the noun array should contain the nouns "boy", "girl", "dog", "town" and "car"; the verb array should contain the verbs "drove", "jumped", "ran", "walked" and "skipped"; the preposition…arrow_forward//Write the output of each cout statement.//Assume the size of ints to be 4 bytes.//Assume the size of pointers to ints to be 4 bytes.#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main() {int a[2][2][3]={{{1,2,3},{4,5,6}},{{7,8,9},{10,11,12}}};cout << sizeof(______) << endl; //1: ________________48___________cout << sizeof(a+0) << endl; //2: _____________________________cout << sizeof(______) << endl; //3: ____________24_________________cout << sizeof(______) << endl; //4: ______________12______________ //the address of "a" is 0x7ffee430da70cout << a << endl; //5: ______________________________________________cout << a + 0 << endl; //6: ____________________________________________cout << a + 1 << endl; //7: ____________________________________________cout << *a + 1 << endl; //8: __________________________________________cout << **a + 1 << endl; //9:…arrow_forwardCode: //POinters #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int var = 9; int *ip; double *dp; float *fp; char *ch; ip=&var; //&= address of (saves address of variable var in ip) cout<<"Variable Value "<<var<<endl; cout<<"Address saved in pointer "<<ip<<endl; cout<<"Pointer pointing to value "<<*ip<<endl; *ip=50; cout<<"\nVariable Value "<<var<<endl; cout<<"Address saved in pointer "<<ip<<endl; cout<<"Pointer pointing to value "<<*ip<<endl; } //Dynamic Memory Allocation #include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int size,i; int *ptr; cout<<"Enter size of an array"<<endl; cin>>size; ptr = new int[size]; cout<<"Enter Array Elements to store\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) { cin>>ptr[i]; } cout<<"Values of Array are\n"; for(i=0;i<size;i++) { cout<<ptr[i]<<endl; } for(i=0;i<size;i++) {…arrow_forward
