point to it. Also initialize the array. 4
2. Describe the function performed by following statements. 4
char *city;
city = new char[20];
double *k;
k = new double[10];
3. Find out errors, if any, in the following program – 4
#include<iostream.h>
class emp
{
private:
char name[10];
char city[10];
public:
emp(char *a, char *b)
{
strcpy(name, a);
strcpy (city, b);
}
}
void main()
{
emp my(“John”, “London”);
}
4. Write the program to copy the contents of string to another string using
pointer to string. 4
5. Explain the function of ‘this’ pointer. 4
6. Write a program to count number of characters in a word using pointer to
string. 4
