C++ Programming Exercises - Practice

Set 3
Concepts covered:​
Pointers - Arrays - Functions - Input and Output - Loops - Conditional
Statements

Problems:

1.​ Swap Two Numbers Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that swaps two numbers using pointers. The program should
define a function swapNumbers which takes two integer pointers as arguments and
swaps their values.​
​
Function Signature:​
void swapNumbers(int *a, int *b);​
​
Input:​
Two integer values, num1 and num2, entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
After swapping, print the updated values of num1 and num2.​

2.​ Reverse a List Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that reverses an array using pointers. Define a function
reverseList that takes a pointer to the list (array) and its size as parameters, and
reverses the array.​
​
Function Signature:​
void reverseList(int *arr, int size);​
​
Input:​
An integer array of size n entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print the reversed array.​
3.​ Find the Maximum Element in an Array Using Pointers​
Write a C++ program that accepts a dynamic array of doubles, and calls a function
findMax to find the maximum element. The function should use pointers to traverse the
array.​
​
Function Signature:​
double findMax(double *arr, int size);​
​
Input:​
A dynamic array of doubles, with size n, entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
The maximum element in the array.​

4.​ Sum of Array Elements Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that calculates the sum of all elements in an array using pointers.
Define a function sumArray that takes a pointer to the array and its size as arguments.​
​
Function Signature:​
int sumArray(int *arr, int size);​
​
Input:​
An integer array of size n entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print the sum of the array elements.​

5.​ Find the Length of a String Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that calculates the length of a string using pointers. Define a
function findLength that accepts a pointer to a character array (string) and returns its
length.​
​
Function Signature:​
int findLength(char *str);​
​
Input:​
A string entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
The length of the string.​

6.​ Check if an Array Contains a Specific Element​


Write a C++ program that checks whether a given integer exists in an array using
pointers. Define a function containsElement that takes a pointer to the array, its size,
and the target integer as arguments.​
​
Function Signature:​
bool containsElement(int *arr, int size, int target);​
​
Input:​
An integer array of size n and the target integer entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print whether the element is found in the array or not.​

7.​ Print the Elements of an Array Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that prints all the elements of an integer array using pointers.
Define a function printArray that takes a pointer to the array and its size as
parameters.​
​
Function Signature:​
void printArray(int *arr, int size);​
​
Input:​
An integer array of size n entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print the elements of the array.​

8.​ Count Occurrences of a Character in a String Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that counts the number of occurrences of a character in a string
using pointers. Define a function countOccurrences that accepts a pointer to the
string and a character to search for.​
​
Function Signature:​
int countOccurrences(char *str, char target);​
​
Input:​
A string and a character entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print the number of occurrences of the character in the string.​

9.​ Find the Minimum Element in an Array Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that finds the minimum element in an integer array using pointers.
Define a function findMin that takes a pointer to the array and its size.​
​
Function Signature:​
int findMin(int *arr, int size);​
​
Input:​
An integer array of size n entered by the user.​
​
Output:​
Print the minimum element in the array.​

10.​Find the Product of All Elements in an Array Using Pointers​


Write a C++ program that calculates the product of all elements in an integer array using
pointers. Define a function productArray that takes a pointer to the array and its size.​

Function Signature:​
int productArray(int *arr, int size);

Input:​
An integer array of size n entered by the user.

Output:​
Print the product of the array elements.
