Explanation of Solution
Null pointer:
When the address of pointer is set to “0” or when a pointer variable does not hold any value, then it is called as null pointers.
Example:
Consider the below example, pointer variable of integer data type initialized as null pointer:

You may need to research the Fibonacci sequence first. Example: Please enter a number from 5 - 20: 10 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 Note, the user typed 10, so it shows the first 10 numbers of the sequence.

- Problem Statement The barcode used by the U.S. Postal System to route mail is defined as follows: Each decimal digit in the ZIP code is encoded using a sequence of three half-height and two full-height bars. The barcode starts and ends with a full-height bar (the guard rail) and includes a checksum digit (after the five-digit ZIP code or ZIP + 4), computed by summing up the original digits modulo 10. Define the following functions: Draw a half-height or full-height bar on stddraw. Given a digit, draw its sequence of bars. Compute the checksum digit. Also define global code that read in a five- (or nine-) digit ZIP code as the command-line argument and draws the corresponding postal barcode.arrow_forwardFill-in-the-Blank A pointer that contains the address 0 is called a(n) __________ pointer.arrow_forwardSegmentation: Select all of the following statements that are true. In segmentation, a logical address always has a length of 32 bit. In order to translate logical into physical addresses, the memory management unit uses the segment part of the logical address to determine the start address in the segment table and adds the offset to this to get the physical address. In segmentation, the logical address consists of a segment part and an offset. The segment length is limited by the maximum possible segment number. When applying segmentation, processes are only allowed to access the memory within their segments. Segments can be assigned access rights and privilege levels.arrow_forward

For example, the output for the above input will be: name Alice Bob Charlie ---------------------------------------- AGAT 5 3 6 AATG 2 7 1 TATC 8 4 5 This output uses text manipulators to left-align each name and counts within 10 characters.
