c) By referring to Figure Q4c(i), write the missing statement in Listing Q4c using for loop to
ask the user to enter any three (3) integers between 10 and 50 inclusively. All entered
integers will be passed to a function named "MULL" that will multiply all three integers that
has been entered by the user. The function returns the result to the main function and
displayed the output shown in Figure Q4c(ii).

p = price;

/* output each array element's value */

printf("Array values using pointer\n");

for ( i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {

printf( );
}
