Chapter 11.10, Problem 11.15CP
Program Plan Intro
Structure pointer operator (->):
The structure pointer operator is used to access members of a structure using pointer variable; it is used to dereference a pointer variable instead of indirection operator (*).
Indirection operator:
An asterisk “*” is also referred as indirection operator which is used to dereferences the pointer.
- If the “*” operator is placed before a variable then the variable is referred as pointer variable.
Dot operator:
The dot “.” operator is used to access the members of a structure; the dot operator has a higher precedence than the indirection operator.
Note:
Brackets are having highest precedence when comparing with any other operator; so, when any operator with any precedence is placed inside the brackets, then the operator will be executed first.

Programming Language: C++
Create a structure Student and ask the user how many students. Create an array which will save the number of students in the input. Ask for the data of the first and last student and display them.
Function Description:
Given a structure array with fields 'names', 'ASCI and 'points", return the name whose ASCII value is closest to its points (which is the coolest name).
Notes:
. There will never be a tie for the coolest name.
. Do not compute the ASCII value of the names: it is given to you by the ASCII field.
. Only the absolute value of the difference between ASCII value and points is considered.
Hint:
• You can index multiple char values from a structure using (struct.field)
Examples:
struct1= struct('names". ("Dwayne', 'Justin', "Peters), 'ASCI, (616, 637, 627). "points". (639, 651, 655));
