Question
Chapter 9.9, Problem 9.14CP
Program Plan Intro
Purpose of “new” operator:
The main purpose of the “new” operator is to dynamically allocate memory. Dynamic memory allocation is process where an individual chunk of memory space is allocated by the compiler that is sufficient for the storage of variables.
Purpose of “delete” operator:
The purpose of “delete” operator is to clear or free the memory that was allocated using a “new” operator. The allocated memory gets de-allocated when “delete” operator is used.
Example:
//null pointer declaration
int *myptr = nullptr;
//dynamic allocation of memory
myptr = new int;
//free the memory allocated
delete myptr;
//assign the value to be null
myptr= nullptr;

Write the code that dynamically allocates memory for an array of 10 integers and assigns its address to the pointer ptr. After that use that pointer to access the array and store on it the powers of two then display the content of the array on the screen. The output should be: 2 4 6 8 16 32 128 256 512 1024. Note: You can use the pow() function. This function takes two arguements and returns the result of the first argument raised to the power of the second arguement.
Using C++ programming language:
Assume intptr is a pointer to an int. Write a statement that will dynamically allocate an array of 100 integers and store its address in intptr. Also, write a statement that will free the memory allocated in the statement you just wrote.
Suppose you want to let pointer pa point to variable b, which line should you use?

Each record should consist of the student’s name, ID consists of program code and student number, 5 coursework marks, and an examination mark.Write a c++ program that creates an array of struct to keep 10 student’s records. Your program should allow user to input data and store them into a file. The program then reads from the file to calculate the final mark for every student, and display the student’s name, id, and final mark in a tabular format. The final mark is calculated as 60% from the average coursework marks (not including the lowest) and 40% from the examination mark. The output is also stored into a file.Use functions to calculate the final mark for a student and to display all the students’ information.

AskForNumbers Declare an integer array lacally with the size of 200. Create a program that asks the user how many numbers the have. Use your getChoice() function from before. Make sure it does not exceed 200 as the locally declared array has the size of 200. Use a for loop and ask the user to enter each value that must be stored in the array. Use a second loop to display each number, and also determine the average of all values in the array. After the for loop, display the average of all numbers. This program will let you enter a list of numbers into an array. It will then display all of the numbers, and finally display the average of all numbers.
