  • Q1. Write the code to find the length of a string without using the string functions.

    Use a loop to iterate through the characters of the string and count them.

    • Create a function that takes a string as input.

    • Initialize a variable to store the length of the string.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. How will you print the address of a variable without using a pointer?
  • Ans. 

    You can print the address of a variable without using a pointer by using the & operator in C/C++.

    • Use the & operator before the variable name to get its address, e.g. int num = 10; printf("Address of num: %p", &num);

    • You can also pass the variable directly to a function that expects a pointer, e.g. void printAddress(int *ptr) { printf("Address: %p", ptr); } int num = 20; printAddress(&num);
