1. Write a program in C to show the basic declaration of a pointer.
Expected Output :
Pointer : Show the basic declaration of pointer :
-------------------------------------------------------
Here is m=10, n and o are two integer variable and *z is an integer
z stores the address of m = 0x7ffd40630d44
*z stores the value of m = 10
&m is the address of m = 0x7ffd40630d44
&n stores the address of n = 0x7ffd40630d48
&o stores the address of o = 0x7ffd40630d4c
&z stores the address of z = 0x7ffd40630d50
2. Write a program in C to demonstrate how to handle pointers in a program.
Expected Output :
Address of m : 0x7ffcc3ad291c
Value of m : 29
Now ab is assigned with the address of m.
Address of pointer ab : 0x7ffcc3ad291c
Content of pointer ab : 29
The value of m assigned to 34 now.
Address of pointer ab : 0x7ffcc3ad291c
Content of pointer ab : 34
The pointer variable ab is assigned with the value 7 now.
Address of m : 0x7ffcc3ad291c
Value of m : 7
3. Write a program in C to demonstrate the use of the &(address of) and *(value at address) operators.
Expected Output :
Pointer : Demonstrate the use of & and * operator :
--------------------------------------------------------
m = 300
fx = 300.600006
cht = z
Using & operator :
-----------------------
address of m = 0x7ffda2eeeec8
address of fx = 0x7ffda2eeeecc
address of cht = 0x7ffda2eeeec7
Using & and * operator :
-----------------------------
value at address of m = 300
value at address of fx = 300.600006
value at address of cht = z
Using only pointer variable :
----------------------------------
address of m = 0x7ffda2eeeec8
address of fx = 0x7ffda2eeeecc
address of cht = 0x7ffda2eeeec7
Using only pointer operator :
----------------------------------
value at address of m = 300
value at address of fx= 300.600006
value at address of cht= z
