COM A SSIGNMENT : L AB 5 P OINTERS AND P OINTER O PERATORS D ESCRIPTION : T HIS LAB WILL EXPLORE THE USE OF POINTERS IN SEVERAL WAYS. P OINTERS WILL BE USED TO DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATE MEMORY FOR NEW CLASS OBJECTS ON DEMAND FROM THE USER, AND THEY WILL BE USED TO ACCESS CLASS - MEMBER FUNCTIONS. P OINTER ARITHMETIC WILL BE USED TO ACCESS AND SORT CLASS OBJECTS ACCORDING TO CRITERIA EXPLAINED IN THE LAB. P OINTERS ARE, ESSENTIALLY, ADDRESS VARIABLES, OR VARIABLES THAT HOLD AS THEIR VALUE THE ADDRESS OF OTHER VARIABLES. I N TERMS OF MEMORY MANAGEMENT, THEY ARE VERY POWERFUL DEVICES, AND THEY MORE CLOSELY AND EFFICIENTLY USE THE ACTUAL INTERNAL HARDWARE REGISTERS OF THE MICROPROCESSOR THAT THE PROGRAM OPERATES ON. P OINTERS ALSO HAVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE POINTER TYPE MUST BE OF THE SAME DATA TYPE AS THE VARIABLE, OR THE DATA THAT IT POINTS TO OR HOLDS THE ADDRESS OF. T HE POWER OF POINTERS ALSO HINTS AT THE POTENTIAL COMPLEXITY OF THEIR USE, WHICH IS WHY THIS LAB IS FOCUSED ALMOST ENTIRELY ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS AND USES OF POINTERS. T HE LAB ALSO INTRODUCES POINTER ARRAYS AND POINTERS TO POINTERS. T HE R ESISTOR CLASS CREATED IN THE W EEK 2 LAB WILL BE USED AS THE CLASS THAT THE POINTER OPERATIONS WILL BE USED UPON. T HE LAB ALSO REQUIRES THE USE OF ACCESSOR FUNCTIONS AND STATIC DATA MEMBERS, WHICH MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE R ESISTOR CLASS DEFINITION AND IMPLEMENTATION. ​ HTTP :// WWW. ASSIGNMENTCLOUD.
