Explanation of Solution

The corrected program is given below with errors and corrections explained in the in-lined comments:

#include <iostream> 

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std; 

int main()  

{  

    //declare double pointer variables

    double *baseRadius;

    double *height;

    //set the print output format

    cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

    //allocate memory of type double and store the 

    //address of the allocated memory in baseRadius

    baseRadius = new double;

    //store 1.5 in the allocated memory

    *baseRadius = 1.5;

    //allocate memory of type double and store the 

    //address of the allocated memory in height

    height = new double;

    //store the value of the RHS expression in the allocated memory

    //RHS = 2 &*#x00A0;(1.5) = 3.0

    *height = 2 &*#x00A0;(*baseRadius);

    //allocate fresh memory of type double and store the 

    //address of the allocated memory in baseRadius

    //the earlier address referred to by baseRadius now

    //becomes a case of leaked memory

    //so it is essential to first deallocate the memory

    //using delete operator

    delete baseRadius;

    baseRadius = new double;

    //store 4.0 in the allocated memory

    *baseRadius = 4.0;

    //the code prints the address stored in baseRadius

    //instead of the actual radius of the base

    ///cout << "Radius of the base: " << baseRadius << endl;

    //so the correct code is

    cout << "Radius of the base: " << *baseRadius << endl;

Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn, and start engine. FancyCar.java is provided with method stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all methods. Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main() method includes basic method calls. Add statements in main() as methods are completed to support development mode testing. Step 0. Declare private fields for miles driven as shown on the odometer (int), gallons of gas in tank (double), miles per gallon or MPG (double), driving capacity (double), and car model (String). Note the provided final variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons. Step 1 (2 pts). 1) Complete the default constructor by initializing the odometer to five miles, tank is full of gas, miles per gallon is 24.0, and the model is "Old Clunker". 2)…
