{
int* count;
cout << "the address of the varible is <<&count <<endl;
return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
double* dPtr;
return 0;
}

B. False
C. True
D. False
10. proper way to call the following function in order to negate the
void makeNegative(int *val)
{
if(*val > 0)
*val = -(*val);
}
int num = 7;
makeNegative(&num);
cout << num<< endl;

QUESTION 12.
int * ip = new int;
// ...
delete ip;

// dynamically created int


// deletes the space that ip points to

QUESTION 13.
int * ip;
ip = new int[500];
for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++)
*(ip + i) = 255;
delete [] ip;
QUESTION 14.
a.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int *ptr = NULL;
cout << "The value of ptr is " << ptr ;
return 0;
}

B. Function That Correctly Returns A Pointer.


Function:
int* test (int* a, int* b) {
int* c = new int[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) c[i] = a[i]+b[i];
return c;
}
Call Function:
int m1[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int m2[5] = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10};
int* m3 = test(m1, m2);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) cout<<m3[i]<<endl;
cout<<endl;
delete[] m3;
C.FUNCTION THAT INCORRECTLY RETURNS A POINTER
struct a {

int value;
a::a(int val) {
value = val;
}
a* clone() {
a* ret = new a(value);
return ret;
}
};
