Question
Chapter 9, Problem 58RQE
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.
Consider the following statement:
//definition of pointer variable
int *ptrvar;
Here the variable “ptrvar” is defined to a pointer variable of integer data type. So, it can store the address of an integer variable.
Null pointer:
When the address of pointer is set to be “0” or when a pointer variable does not hold anything it is called as null pointers.

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
float *rainfall;
float rain_today;
// rainfall has been dynamically allocated space for a floating point number.
// Both rainfall and rain today have been initialized in hidden code.
// Assign the amount in rain_today to the space rainfall points to.
return 0;

- Write nested for loops to print the following pattern, as shown in the picture.arrow_forwardCode in C++ language Assume you have a int variable n that has already been declared and initialized. Its value is the number of integers that need to be read in from standard input and printed out in sorted (ascending) order, each on a line by itself. Furthermore, there are no duplicates in the input and every number to be read is a non-negative value that is less than n's value.In this exercise you may not use any array (or fancy STL collection such as a vector). You may declare a variable or two as needed. With these restrictions, read the n values and print them out as required onto standard output.arrow_forwardIn the code segment Double radius = 4.5; Const double* ptr = & radius;The ptr is constant, but the data pointed to by the pointer ptr is not constant options: True Falsearrow_forward

Create the file by entering five customer records, with each record consisting of an integer account number (starting with account number 1000), a first name (maximum of 10 characters), a last name (maximum of 15 characters), and a double-precision number for the account balance. After the file is created, write a C++ program that requests a user-input account number and displays the corresponding name and account balance from the file.arrow_forward
