Question

Programming in C

5. (14 pts) Write a single statement to do each of the following: a. (7 pts) Assign character 'Y' to the variable pointed to by char pointer passptr, assuming passptr has already defined. b. (7 pts) Print the value of passptr above.

Answer 1

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){
   char *passptr;
   char ch='Y';//variable pointed by passptr
   passptr=&ch;//assigning variable to pointer
   printf("%c",*passptr);//accessing the value of variable pointed by passptr
   return 1;
}

value of the variable pointed by pointer can be accessed using *ptr.pointer stores the address of the variable to which it points in our case variable ch.

Expected output:

Y
