- Create pointers for a character, a string, an integer, a floating-point number, and an array of 10 integers.
- For each pointer (5 of them), dynamically allocate the memory and then assign values as follows. You can use malloc and or calloc.
- Use your name for the string (array of characters). (First Name: Manny)
- Use 100 for the integer.
- The character should be an ‘A’.
- The floating-point number should be 98.76
- The array of integers should be the numerals 0 through 9.
- Print out values for all five dynamically allocated variables.
- Free all dynamically allocated memory.
- The output should look something like this:
Character: A
Integer: 100
String: Caryl
Floating Point: 98.76
Array of Integers: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

#include < stdlib.h>
#include < string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/*

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{

}
/**

printf("Floating Point: %.2f\n", *float_ptr);
printf("Array of Intergers:");
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
printf(" %d", int_arr[i]);
}
printf("\n");
/**

free(chr_ptr);
