Question

Please help!
Please take a look at the code I have provided as a attachment to this question.
Please comment each line of code of the differences between program 1 and 2.
- What happens when you subtract one pointer from another? Is it subtracting the two addresses, or something else? How do you know?
- What happens when you increment a pointer?
- Compare and contrast how C-strings are laid out in memory compared to arrays of integers. What's one similarity and one difference?
- Show how the individual bytes of this integer array are laid out in memory.
Thanks!
![Take this program, which is a variation on the first program in this lab,
but uses integer arrays instead of C-strings:
# include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int intPtr [] = {0x1234, 0x5678, 0x9abc};
int length = 3;
int* currPtr = intPtr;
while (currPtr - intPtr <length) {
printf("%p: ", currptr);
printf("0x%02x\n", *currptr);
currPtr++;
}
return 0;
}
Comment each line of code within main(), except for the return 0.
Emphasize the differences between this code and the C-string version of
the code.

Step 1: Algorithm of the program:
Algorithm:
- Initialize an integer variable, length, with the value 3.
- Initialize an integer variable, length, with the value 3.
- Create an integer pointer, currPtr, and set it to point to the first element of intArr.
- Start a loop that continues as long as currPtr is within the bounds of intArr.
- Print the memory address pointed to by currPtr.
- Print the hexadecimal value at the address pointed to by currPtr.
- Move currPtr to point to the next integer in the array.
- End the loop when currPtr goes beyond the bounds of intArr.
- Terminate the program by returning 0.

- Can someone please help and explain the C code that I would need for this. I am new to C and would like some help. I also do not know how to check the storage for the cache on my microsoft surface 2 computer. Define Data Structures Large Arrays: Define a large array in memory. The size should be chosen based on the cache size of the target processor. Choose a size that is larger than the L3 cache of the processor. You will need to look up the sizes of the L1, L2, and L3 for the processor you are using. Access Area: Access areas within the L1, L2, L3, and larger than the L3 cache. You must read memory the same number of times for each, but simply access more memory for each. Sequential Access: Access the elements of the first array sequentially. This pattern benefits from spatial locality, as once a cache line (containing a part of the array) is loaded into the cache, subsequent accesses to nearby elements will be faster.
