Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
      float number1, number2;
      float *fPtr;
      number1 = 7.3;
      fPtr = &number1;
      printf("Value of the object pointed to by fPtr: %f\n", *fPtr);
      printf("Address of the object pointed to by fPtr: %p\n", fPtr);
    number2 = *fPtr;
    printf("number2 = %f\n", number2);
    printf("Address of number1 = %p\n", &number1);
    printf("Value stored in fPtr: %f\n", *fPtr);
}
