Pointer Based Programs in C

1.
Write a c program to display the address of a float and int type variable using pointers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// Declare variables
int integerValue;
float floatValue;
// Assign values to variables

integerValue = 10;
floatValue = 3.14;
// Declare pointer variables

int *intPointer;
float *floatPointer;
// Assign addresses to pointers

intPointer = &integerValue;
floatPointer = &floatValue;
// Display addresses
printf("Address of integer variable: %p\n", intPointer);
printf("Address of float variable: %p\n", floatPointer);
return 0;
}
2. WAP in C to print the contents of an integer array by using Pointers.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// Declare an integer variable
int integerValue = 42;
// Declare a pointer to the integer
int *ptr = &integerValue;
// Display the original memory address
printf("Original Memory Address: %p\n", (void *)ptr);
// Increment the pointer
ptr++;
// Display the new memory address after incrementing
printf("New Memory Address (After Incrementing): %p\n", (void *)ptr);
// Decrement the pointer
ptr--;
// Display the new memory address after decrementing
printf("New Memory Address (After Decrementing): %p\n", (void *)ptr);
return 0;
}
3. Write a c program to show the change of memory address that is observed after incrementing the pointer to an
integer
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// Declare an integer variable
int integerValue = 42;
// Declare a pointer to the integer
int *ptr = &integerValue;
ptr++;
// Display the new memory address
printf("New Memory Address: %p\n", (void *)ptr);
return 0;
}
4. Write a c program to show the change of memory address that is observed after incrementing & decrementing
the pointer to a float variable.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
// Declare a float variable
float floatValue = 3.14;
// Declare a pointer to the float
float *ptr = &floatValue;
ptr++;
// Display the new memory address after incrementing
printf("New Memory Address (After Incrementing): %p\n", (void *)ptr);
// Decrement the pointer
ptr--;
// Display the new memory address after decrementing
printf("New Memory Address (After Decrementing): %p\n", (void *)ptr);
return 0;
}
5. Write a program to add and subtract 2 integers using pointers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num1, num2, sum, difference;
// Get input from the user
printf("Enter the first integer: ");
scanf("%d", &num1);
printf("Enter the second integer: ");
scanf("%d", &num2);
// Declare pointers
int *ptr1 = &num1;
int *ptr2 = &num2;
// Perform addition using pointers
sum = *ptr1 + *ptr2;
// Perform subtraction using pointers
difference = *ptr1 - *ptr2;
// Display results
printf("Sum: %d + %d = %d\n", num1, num2, sum);
printf("Difference: %d - %d = %d\n", num1, num2, difference);
return 0;
}
6. Write a program to find the largest and smallest elements of an array using pointers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int size;
// Get the size of the array from the user
printf("Enter the size of the array: ");
scanf("%d", &size);
// Check if the size is non-positive
if (size <= 0) {
printf("Invalid array size\n");
return 1; // Exit with an error code
// Declare the array
int arr[size];
// Get input for the array elements
printf("Enter the elements of the array:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
printf("Element %d: ", i + 1);
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
// Declare pointers for the largest and smallest elements
int *ptrLargest = &arr[0];
int *ptrSmallest = &arr[0];
// Find the largest and smallest elements using pointers
for (int i = 1; i < size; i++) {

if (*ptrLargest < arr[i]) {
ptrLargest = &arr[i];
if (*ptrSmallest > arr[i]) {
ptrSmallest = &arr[i];
// Display the largest and smallest elements
printf("Largest Element: %d\n", *ptrLargest);
printf("Smallest Element: %d\n", *ptrSmallest);
return 0;
7. Write a program to swap the values of 2 integers with and without using pointers
Without using pointers:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num1, num2;

scanf("%d", &num1);

scanf("%d", &num2);
// Display original values

printf("Original Values: num1 = %d, num2 = %d\n", num1, num2);
// Swap values without using pointers

int temp = num1;
num1 = num2;
num2 = temp;
// Display swapped values

printf("Swapped Values (Without Pointers): num1 = %d, num2 = %d\n", num1, num2);
return 0;
}
Using pointers:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num1, num2;

scanf("%d", &num1);

scanf("%d", &num2);
// Display original values

printf("Original Values: num1 = %d, num2 = %d\n", num1, num2);
// Swap values using pointers

int *ptr1 = &num1;
int *ptr2 = &num2;
// Swap values using pointers

int temp = *ptr1;
*ptr1 = *ptr2;
*ptr2 = temp;
// Display swapped values

printf("Swapped Values (With Pointers): num1 = %d, num2 = %d\n", num1, num2);
return 0;
}
8. Write a c program to demonstrate pointer to pointer
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int value = 42;
int *ptr1 = &value; // Pointer to an integer
int **ptr2 = &ptr1; // Pointer to a pointer to an integer
// Display the original value and its address

printf("Original Value: %d\n", value);
printf("Address of Value: %p\n", (void *)ptr1);
// Display the value through a pointer to a pointer

printf("Value through Pointer to Pointer: %d\n", **ptr2);
// Modify the value through a pointer to a pointer

**ptr2 = 99;
// Display the modified value and its address

printf("Modified Value: %d\n", value);
printf("Address of Value: %p\n", (void *)ptr1);
return 0;
}
