Question
Chapter 9, Problem 52RQE
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
Pointer will allow the user to indirectly access and manipulate the variable data contents. A pointer variable will hold the address of the data contents. If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable then that variable is referred as pointer variable.
Representing array using pointer notation:
- In general array will have a continuous allocation of memory bytes, to represent the values present in the array it can be represented using its subscript value.
- So to represent the values using pointer notation with an indirection operator the name of the array plus the subscript representing the value needs to be specified.
- When we represent only the array name, it will indicate the first element of the array.
- To represent the next element we need to increment the values by one to find the proceeding elements of the array.

Using a for loop, input values for the current and resistance arrays. The entries in the volts array should be the product of the corresponding values in the current and resistance arrays (sovolts[i]=current[i]resistance[i]). After all the data has been entered, display the following output, with the appropriate value under each column heading: CurrentResistance Voltsarrow_forward(Data processing) Write a program that uses an array declaration statement to initialize the following numbers in an array named slopes: 17.24, 25.63, 5.94, 33.92, 3.71, 32.84, 35.93, 18.24, and 6.92.

The user will enter coordinates to try and find ships and sink them. Instructions Imagine you are using a two-dimensional array as the basis for creating the game battleship. In the game of battleship, a `~' character entry in the array represents ocean (i.e., not a ship), a `#' character represents a place in the ocean where part of a ship is present, and a `H' character represents a place in the ocean where part of a ship is present and has been hit by a torpedo. Thus, a ship with all `H' characters means the ship has been sunk. Declare a two-dimensional array that is 25 x 25 that represents the entire ocean and an If statement that prints "HIT" if a torpedo hits a ship given the coordinates X and Y.
