Instructions:
 You must submit CPP files of the program in a folder, named your Registration
Number.
 You must upload your lab tasks on CMS.
 All program codes should be written in C/C++. Students should use Visual studio
compiler for coding.
 Indent and comment your code.
 Use meaningful variable names

TASK TO DO
Task 1:
Write a C++ program to calculate the length of a C-string using pointer arithmetic. Do not use
any library functions like strlen().
Sample Output:
Enter a string: Hello World
Length of the string: 11
____________________________________________________________________________
Task 2:
Write a C++ program that takes 5 integers in an array and displays them using pointer notation
*(arr + i).
Sample Output:
Enter 5 integers: 1 2 3 4 5
You entered: 1 2 3 4 5
_____________________________________________________________________________

Task 3:
Write a C++ program to reverse an array of 5 integers using pointer notation *(arr + i).
Sample Output:
Enter 5 integers: 10 20 30 40 50
Reversed array: 50 40 30 20 10

Task 4:
Write a C++ program that reads 6 float numbers, stores them in an array, and prints them using
pointer subscript notation p[i].

Sample Output:
Enter 6 float numbers:
1.2 3.4 5.6 7.8 9.0 2.1
Array elements using pointer subscript notation:
1.2 3.4 5.6 7.8 9 2.1
_____________________________________________________________________________
Task 5:
Write a C++ program to convert all characters of a C-string to uppercase using pointers.
Sample output:
Enter a string: hello world
Uppercase string: HELLO WORLD
____________________________________________________________________________
Task 6:
Write a C++ program that calculates the average of 5 double numbers using a pointer with
subscript notation p[i].
Sample output:
Enter 5 double values: 10.5 20.0 30.5 40.5 50.5
Average: 30.4
__________________________________________________________________________
Task 7:
Write a C++ program that Replace vowels in a C-string with '*' using pointers.
Sample Output File:
Enter string = pointer
Updated string = p**nt*r
__________________________________________________________________________
Task 8:
Write a C++ program that Display the memory address and value of each element in an array
using pointer arithmetic.
Sample Output:
Enter number of elements: 2 4 6
Address: 0x7ffdxxxx, Value: 2
Address: 0x7ffdxxxx, Value: 4
Address: 0x7ffdxxxx, Value: 6
__________________________________________________________________________
Task 9:
Write a C++ program that uses pointers to swap two integers. The program should include a function
swapValues(int *a, int *b) that swaps the values using pointers. In the main() function, take two integer
inputs from the user, call the function, and display the values before and after swapping.
Sample Output:
Enter two integers: 5 10
Before swapping:
x = 5, y = 10

After swapping:
x = 10, y = 5
__________________________________________________________________________
Task 10:
Write a C++ program that Count how many even and odd numbers are in an array using pointer
arithmetic.
Sample output:
Enter numbers 3 2 6 7 9 10 11
Even numbers: 3
Odd numbers: 4
