Casting a base-class pointer to a derived-class pointer is called_______________
Operator______________ can be used to downcast base-class pointers safely.
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,…
