Question
Chapter 9, Problem 53RQE
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
Pointer will allow the user to indirectly access and manipulate the variable data contents. A pointer variable will hold the address of the data contents. If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable then that variable is referred as pointer variable.
Operations that are allowed in a pointer:
- The math operation that is allowed for a pointer variable is “addition” and “subtraction”.
- Addition operation: The addition operation is performed using the “+”, “++”, “+=” operators.
- Subtraction operation: The subtraction operation is performed using the “-”, “--”, “-=” operators.
- The addition and subtraction operations are possible because the size of the pointer variable gets added or subtracted based on the data type it is being defined.
- Other math operations such as “multiplication” and “division” cannot be performed on a pointer variable because there is a possibility of garbage value or unallocated out range value being returned.

Q# Describe what a data structure is for a char**? (e.g. char** argv)
Group of answer choices
A. It is a pointer to a single c-string.
B. It is an array of c-strings
C. It is the syntax for dereferencing a c-string and returning the value.
Code in Perl
Create an array which holds a list of Video Games, consisting of title, the year it was released (guess if you don’t know) , platform (NES, XBOX One, etc) and publisher (in that order). Add at least ten albums to the list. Then, use the split function and a for or foreach loop to display the publisher followed by the title and platform for each list element.
