Concept explainers
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. An asterisk “*” is also referred as indirection operator is used to dereferences the pointer.
Adding a value to a pointer variable:
When a pointer variable is added, it is similar to adding number of time the size of the pointer variable that is stored.
Example:
//declaring a pointer variable
int *a;
//incrementing the pointer value by 1
a++;
In the above snippet the pointer variable is incremented by “1” means, the size of the pointer variable is being increased in terms of their size.
1 * 2 = 2
Therefore, additional of 2 bytes will be added to the pointer variable “a” after incrementing it by one.

- Variables can be passed to a function by Select one: a.reference b.all (pointer, value, and reference) c.value d.pointerarrow_forwardCODE USING C++ 1. Please Fix Me by CodeChum Admin Hi dear Programmer, I am broken. Can you please help me fix me? ?? Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that declares an array, sets its values, and then prints the sum of all of its values. However, there is a problem with how the array is declared. The array should be able to store 5 values. Your task is to fix the me array's declaration. Output 25arrow_forwardPROGRAMMING LANGUAGE: C++ You need to store hiring date and date of birth for teachers, and for students store their admission date and date of birth. You need to create a Date class for this purpose. Create objects of Date class in Teacher and Student class to store respective dates. You need to write print function in Teacher and Student classes as well to print all information of Teachers and Students. You need to perform composition to implement this task. Create objects of Teacher and Student classes in main function and call print function for both objects. Print Date class here. Print updated Teacher class here. Print updated Student class here. Print main function here. Print Outputshere.arrow_forward

- Topic: Array covered in Chapter 7 Do not use any topic not covered in lecture. Write a C++ program to store and process an integer array. The program creates an array (numbers) of integers that can store up to 10 numbers. The program then asks the user to enter up to a maximum of 10 numbers, or enter 999 if there are less than 10 numbers. The program should store the numbers in the array. Then the program goes through the array to display all even (divisible by 2) numbers in the array that are entered by the user. Then the program goes through the array to display all odd (not divisible by 2) numbers in the array that are entered by the user. At the end, the program displays the total sum of all numbers that are entered by the user.arrow_forwardC Program Functions with 1D Arrays Create a program that asks the user for the size of an integer array and the elements of the array. Then, create a function with the following details: Parameters: An integer array The size of the integer array Return type - int Return value - the maximum value of the integer array Call the function you created in the main and pass the integer array and its size to it. Make sure to store the return value in a variable so you could print it afterwards. Input 1. First line contains the size of the array 2. Succeeding lines are the elements of an array Output Enter size of array: 5 Enter element 1: 1 Enter element 2: 2 Enter element 3: 3 Enter element 4: 4 Enter element 5: 5 Maximum element: 5arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE, C++ When passing an array to a function, you must include & in front of the array name. When passing an array to a function, you must include & in front of the array name. It is possible to have a 2-dimensional array where each row has a different number of columns. The * is called the address of operator.arrow_forward
- How do you prevent the array from being modified accidentally in a function?arrow_forwardHow do you declare a pointer variable? Does a local pointer variable have a default value?arrow_forwardprogram Credit Card Validator - Takes in a credit card number from a common credit card vendor (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and validates it to make sure that it is a valid number (look into how credit cards use a checksum) - it's a C++ program so use #include <iostream> - And please use an array, use files, and use pointers in this program. -arrow_forward
