Question
In the following program with struct student, which has name and age.
There is a pointer to struct student *ptr, but does not assign a value to it.
Then, there is a print statement for ptr->age.
1. Why does an error occur when the program is run?
#include <stdio.h>
//make struct student
struct student
{
charname[25];
int age;
};
int main()
{
//declare pointer to struct student
struct student *ptr;
//print ptr -> age
printf("%d", ptr->age);
return0;
}

- use c++ Programming language Write a program that creates a two dimensional array initialized with test data. Use any data type you wish . The program should have following functions: .getAverage: This function should accept a two dimensional array as its argument and return the average of each row (each student have their average) and each column (class test average) all the values in the array. .getRowTotal: This function should accept a two dimensional array as its first argument and an integer as its second argument. The second argument should be the subscript of a row in the array. The function should return the total of the values in the specified row. .getColumnTotal: This function should accept a two dimensional array as its first argument and an integer as its second argument. The second argument should be the subscript of a column in the array.

It will go through the array and return how many elements (int) in the array are the same as the last element and whether the first and the last elements are the same or not (bool). Please note that the objects pointed by elements in the array can be either Word or Item objects.
