Question
Chapter 11.10, Problem 11.15CP
Program Plan Intro
Structure pointer operator (->):
The structure pointer operator is used to access members of a structure using pointer variable; it is used to dereference a pointer variable instead of indirection operator (*).
Indirection operator:
An asterisk “*” is also referred as indirection operator which is used to dereferences the pointer.
- If the “*” operator is placed before a variable then the variable is referred as pointer variable.
Dot operator:
The dot “.” operator is used to access the members of a structure; the dot operator has a higher precedence than the indirection operator.
Note:
Brackets are having highest precedence when comparing with any other operator; so, when any operator with any precedence is placed inside the brackets, then the operator will be executed first.

Game of Hunt in C++ language
Create the 'Game of Hunt'.
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.

Function Description:
Given a structure array with fields 'names', 'ASCI and 'points", return the name whose ASCII value is closest to its points (which is the coolest name).
Notes:
. There will never be a tie for the coolest name.
. Do not compute the ASCII value of the names: it is given to you by the ASCII field.
. Only the absolute value of the difference between ASCII value and points is considered.
Hint:
• You can index multiple char values from a structure using (struct.field)
Examples:
struct1= struct('names". ("Dwayne', 'Justin', "Peters), 'ASCI, (616, 637, 627). "points". (639, 651, 655));

Using a for loop, input values for the current and resistance arrays.

- Trying to write a gravity function in C languagearrow_forwardc++ The program reads data about two contestants from the keyboard and displays the scores and the winner of the two contestants. The program uses a data structure called Contestant for storing the scores of a contestant and a set of functions related to the data structure for processing the scores of contestants. The data structure, Contestant, contains an int variable for the contestant's ID and an array of doubles for the scores given to the contestant. Each ID must be a positive integer. Each score must fall in the range from 0.0 to 10.0 inclusive. Your job is to complete the program so that its output matches the expected outputs when testing with the same test data. First, complete everything that is required of you at the top of the file. Then complete those and only those incomplete functions according to their descriptions.

Instructions Use a functional decomposition to write a C++ program that asks the user to enter his or her weight and the name of a planet. Use an enumerated type called planetType to represent the planets and use a switch statement that takes as its condition a planetType variable. The program, via the switch statement, then outputs to the screen how much the user would weigh on that planet. The following table gives the factor by which the weight must be multiplied for each planet. Your program must have the following functions in it: GetUserInput() ConvertInputToPlanetType() OutputWeight() (your switch statement must be in OutputWeight()). Determine what each function’s parameters and return types should be.
