Textbook Question
Chapter 9.1, Problem 6STE
Suppose a dynamic variable were created as follows:
| char *p; p = net* char; |
Assuming that the value of the pointer variable p has not changed (so it still points to the same dynamic variable), how can you destroy this new dynamic variable and return the memory it uses to the freestore so that the memory can be reused to create new dynamic variables?

- Write a C++ program that will implement and test the five functions described below that use pointers and dynamic memory allocation. The Functions: You will write the five functions described below. Then you will call them from the main function, to demonstrate their correctness. findLast: takes an array of integers, its size and a target integer value. Returns an index of the last occurrence of the target element in the array. If the target value doesn't exist, returns -1. For this function only: Do not use square brackets anywhere in the function, not even the parameter list (use pointer notation instead). nextFibonacci. Modify the following function to use pointers as parameters (instead of reference parameters). The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the addition of the previous two numbers, starting with 0, and 1 (specifically: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55…). This function updates the given i-th and (i+1)-st Fibonacci numbers to (i+1)-st and…arrow_forwardC++ LANGUAGE In this assignment, you will be writing two objects to heuristically compare the performance of the bubble sort, selection sort, and insertion sort algorithms. To do this, a “Timer” object will be created and compositionally related to a storage class that will load the file contents, execute the sorts in an unbiased manner, handle any memory allocations that need to be made in order to do this, and reports back the execution times of each algorithm on the provided input files for that machine. First you will need to make a Timer object. This object should function like a traditional stopwatch with methods for starting, stopping, resetting, and reporting back times. The design of the object itself is up to you (it should minimally contain methods for the aforementioned ideas), but it must consist of a solitary object that provides interfaces appropriate for being compositionally included as part of a sorting object to facilitate the timekeeping portion of this exercise.…arrow_forwardThe block is practically a square-size placeholder for the Tile objects. But not all the spots are necessarily occupied. When the block is generated, we randomly pick the spots that will be filled in with tiles. All the tiles of a block must have the same color. write the code for these functions below private DynamicArray<DynamicArray<Tile>> block; // the internal storage of the block data public Block(int y, int x, int size) // this contructor creates a 2D placeholder of null value; //these values will be populated later with calls to setTile() public Block(int y, int x, int size, byte color) // overloaded constuctor that creates a 2D matrix with actual tile objects; //no need to call setTile afterwardsarrow_forward
- In C Programming: Write a function printCourseRow() which receives a course pointer and prints all its fields as a single row. Use proper formatting so that when we print 2 or more courses as rows, the same members align below each other. Test the function, but don’t include the testing code in your homework.Upload a screenshot of a sample output.arrow_forwardAn array is a container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type. To create an array in C, we can do int arr[n];. Here, arr, is a variable array which holds up to integers. The above array is a static array that has memory allocated at compile time. A dynamic array can be created in C, using the malloc function and the memory is allocated on the heap at runtime. To create an integer array, of size , int *arr = (int*)malloc(n * sizeof(int)), where points to the base address of the array. When you have finished with the array, use free(arr) to deallocate the memory. In this challenge, create an array of size dynamically, and read the values from stdin. Iterate the array calculating the sum of all elements. Print the sum and free the memory where the array is stored. While it is true that you can sum the elements as they are read, without first storing them to an array, but you will not get the experience working with an array. Efficiency will be required later.…arrow_forwardIn C programming: Write a main() function using the following requirements:• Define a SIZE constant (the value is irrelevant, but for testing, you may want to keep it small enough – no bigger than 5)• Create an array of course pointers using SIZE• Dynamically allocate each element of the array• Call inputAllCourses()• Call printAllCourses().arrow_forward
