Solution

The data the pointer points to can be modified by a function when a pointer to it is passed. This is because the function has access to the memory address that the pointer is pointing to, and can therefore change the data stored at that address.

The pointer's memory address cannot be changed, as the pointer itself is passed by value. This means that the function receives a copy of the pointer, not the original pointer itself. Any changes to the pointer within the function do not affect the original pointer.

The size of the data the pointer points to cannot be changed by the function. The size of the data is determined when the data is first created, and cannot be changed afterwards.

The number of elements in an array pointed to by the pointer cannot be changed by the function. The size of an array is fixed when it is created, and cannot be changed afterwards. The function can change the values of the elements in the array, but not the number of elements.

ObjectiveIn this challenge, you will learn to implement the basic functionalities of pointers in C. A pointer in C is a way to share a memory address among different contexts (primarily functions). They are primarily used whenever a function needs to modify the content of a variable that it does not own.In order to access the memory address of a variable, , prepend it with sign. For example, &val returns the memory address of .This memory address is assigned to a pointer and can be shared among various functions. For example, will assign the memory address of to pointer . To access the content of the memory to which the pointer points, prepend it with a *. For example, *p will return the value reflected by and any modification to it will be reflected at the source (). void increment(int *v) { (*v)++; } int main() { int a; scanf("%d", &a); increment(&a); printf("%d", a); return 0; } TaskComplete the function void update(int *a,int *b). It receives two integer pointers, int* a and int* b. Set the value of to their sum, and to their absolute difference. There is no return value, and no return statement is needed.Input FormatThe input will contain two integers, and , separated by a newline.Output FormatModify the two values in place and the code stub main() will print their values.Note: Input/ouput will be automatically handled. You only have to complete the function described in the 'task' section.Sample Input45Sample Output91Explanation
