$//$ Purpose:

$//$ Prompt the user to enter a string

$//$ Return string via output pointer parameter

$//$

$//$ Parameters:

$//$ string $*$word $--$ pointer to a string that will contain the string the user entered

$//$

$//$ Return:

$//$ convertStringCharArray$()$

$//$

$//$ Purpose:

$//$ convert the given string into an dynamically allocated array of characters

$//$

$//$ Parameters:

$//$ string word $--$ the string that has all the letters that will be used to populate the dynamic char array

$//$ char $**$charArray $--($output$)$ pointer to a pointer that refer to the newly allocated memory and upon return

$//$ will contain all the letters from the string word parameter $+$ null terminating character

$//$ Returns:

$//$ Length of the string $($not including null character$)$

$//$

$//$ Notes:

$//$ Caller is responsible for deleting memory allocated by this function

$//$

$\{$

$//$ Dynamically allocate memory to store all the letters from word

$/*$ Add your code here that uses a for loop to copy all the letters from the word string variable $*/$

$/*$ to the dynamically allocated array. Note to get full points you must use a single statement $*/$

$//$

$//$ Purpose:

$//$ returns the memory used by the dynamic array produced by the convertStringCharArray function

$//$

$//$ Parameters:

$//$ char $*$arr $--$ pointer to the dynamically allocated array

$//$

$//$ Returns:

$//$ void

$//$

$//$ remember you must use delete$[]($not just delete$)$ when deleting dynamic arrays

$//$

$\{$

$/*$ Add your code here the returns the memory referenced by the dyanamically allocated array $*/$

$//$ printCharArray$()$

$//$

$//$ Purpose:

$//$ Demonstrate the use of pointer arithmetic to traverse the dynamically allocated

$//$ by printing all the characters in the array forward and backwards

$//$

$//$ Parameters:

$//$ char $*$arr $--$ pointer to the dynamically allocated array

$//$

$//$ Returns:

$//$ void
