23. Write a C++ program to test a function that dynamically allocates an array of integers. The function
should accept an integer argument indicating the number of elements to allocate. The function should
return a pointer to an array. Output should look similar to below.

Sample Run:

Enter an array size: 6

Here are the values in the array:
Element 0 has the value 0
Element 1 has the value 1
Element 2 has the value 2
Element 3 has the value 3
Element 4 has the value 4
Element 5 has the value 5

Fill in the missing parts of the program below to solve the problem as stated above. Do not add any
additional lines of code. (10 @ 2 each)

//ArrayAllocate.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function Prototype
___________________ //1

int main()
{
int numElements;
int *pointer = nullptr;
int i;

// Get the array size.

cout << "\nEnter an array size: ";
cin >> numElements;

// Allocate the array.

_____________________ //2

// Fill the array with values.

for (i = 0; i < numElements; i++)
________________ //3
// Display the values.
cout << "Here are the values in the array:\n";
for (i = 0; i < numElements; i++)
cout << "Element " << i << " has the value "
<< pointer[i] << endl;

// Deallocate the array.

__________________ //4
pointer = nullptr;

return 0;
}

int* arrayAllocator(int num)

{
int *arrPtr = nullptr;

// Allocate space for the array.

_____________________ //5

// Return the address of the allocated memory.

return arrPtr;
}

Pre-Test- This part has already been taken. Your score will be added to the exam. (10 pts.)

Extra Credit: Implement the following program. Follows same program guidelines and graded on the
same scale as program sets. Submit only your .cpp file- no test runs/folder required. Partial credit given.
(10 points)

Write a C++ program using nested loops to print out a square word pattern as shown below. Input the
word from the keyboard size (1-10). Convert string to uppercase on input. The program must use the C++
class string, and nested loops for full credit. Output should look similar to below.

Sample Runs (2):

Enter a string (size 1-10): toad

TOAD
O A
A O
DAOT

Enter a string (size 1-10): SQUARE

SQUARE
Q R
U A
A U
R Q
