Lab 01

This lab manual for Object Oriented Programming at National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences outlines objectives for students to improve their understanding of pointers and debugging in C++. It includes multiple tasks that require writing C++ code to manipulate pointers, swap values, find sums, detect memory leaks, and manage dynamic memory allocation. The manual is structured to guide students through practical coding exercises while emphasizing the importance of memory management and debugging techniques.

1.1 Objectives
After performing this lab, students shall be able to:
✓ Have an improved understanding of pointers.
✓ Access and modify pointers in functions.
✓ How pointers and array can be related.
✓ Debugging with pointers.
TASK 1:

Write the C++ code for a function swap(), which swaps the values of two integer variables.
Note: you cannot create global variables, and cannot pass integer variables by reference in the
function.
Hint: Pointers

Debugging Commands of VS for help:

Short cut key Icon Menu Explanation


F-9 Insert/Remove breakpoint

F-5 Debug-Go Execute a program until the next breakpoint

Shift F-5 Debug-Stop debugging To stop debugging a program. It will stop executing the
program
F-10 Debug-StepOver Go to the next statement

F-11 Debug-Step Into Go inside a function

Shift F-11 Debug – Step Out Come out of the function

Debug - Run to cursor Execute all statements till the statement on which the cursor
is placed or until the next breakpoint
Alt -3 Debug-Windows-Watch Show the window where only the variables in scope are
shown
Alt-4 Debug-Windows-Variables Show the window in which you can type a variable name to
see its value
Alt-7 debug-windows-call stack You can see the activation of stack of functions here

TASK 2:
Given two integers x and y, find their sum using pointers.

TASK 3:
Run this code and check if there is any issue, also detect dangling pointer and memory leak.
int*ptr = new int;
cout << "Enter Int Value: ";
cin >> *ptr;
cout <<"Value is: " <<*ptr << endl;
cout << "Pointer Value is: " << ptr << endl;
delete ptr;
cout << "After Del,,Value is: " << *ptr << endl;
cout << "After Del,,Pointer Value is: " << ptr << endl;
cout << "Dangling Pointer ? If Yes, then Resolve issue" << endl;
cout << "Dynamically occupied Float Variable: "<<new float << endl;
int*ptr1 = new int;
*ptr1=9;
cout << *ptr1 << endl;
ptr1++;
cout << *ptr1 << endl;
cout << "Find Memory Leak" << endl;

TASK 4:
1. Introduce 2 variables i (int), j (float) and initialize to 5, 1.5 respectively.
2. Introduce 2 variables xPtr (int*), yPtr (float*) and assign address of i, j respectively.
3. Print values of i, j and addresses in xPtr, yPtr.
4. xPtr ++; yPtr ++;
5. Print addresses in xPtr,yPtr.
6. xPtr --; yPtr --;
7. Print addresses in xPtr, yPtr.
8. xPtr = xPtr + 3; yPtr = yPtr + 4;
9. Print addresses in xPtr, yPtr.

TASK 5:
What is wrong with the following code?
double *firstPtr = new double; //Line 1
double *nextPtr = new double; //Line 2
*firstPtr = 62; //Line 3
nextPtr = firstPtr; //Line 4
delete firstPtr; //Line 5
delete nextPtr; //Line 6
firstPtr = new double; //Line 7
*firstPtr = 28; //Line 8
cout << *firstPtr << " " << *nextPtr << endl; //Line 9
TASK 6:
Create two float pointers in the main function and write C++ code for the following functions
and call them in order from main.
1- A function allocate(), which creates dynamic variables length and width and assigns their
addresses to pointers created in main.
2- A function input() that takes input from the user in already created dynamic variables length
and width.
3- A function Print() that prints values of dynamic variables length and width.
4- A function Area() that takes dynamic variables as parameters and returns the area of the
rectangle.
5- A function deallocate() which deallocates the memory of dynamic variables length and width
and update pointers too.
