Question
► Write a function "initializeBook" that returns a structure of
books
▸ Attributes of a book are: title, author, subject, and unique ID
▸ A book is initialized in the function via the parameters "title,
author, and subject". The uniqueID is computed within of the
function.
▸ Initialize the structure book in the heap memory to guarantee that
the life time is longer than the function call.
► Implement a main function that call the initializeBook
function in an appropriate way.
► Declare a struct book variable as pointer which is initialized by
the return value (when calling the initializeBook function)
▸ Print out the values of the initialized book
► Free the pointer in a "safe" way!
