Question
Language: C
Write a C program that allocates memory using the malloc function for an array of size specified by the user at runtime. Assign pseudo-random double values to the array elements, then sort the array using the qsort function. Using the examples from the lecture, define a function that compares numbers of type double. Pass the function address to the qsort function. Use the free function to free up memory.
Problem 1 and Problem 2.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1:
Write a C program that allocates memory using the malloc function for an array of size specified
by the user at runtime. Assign pseudo-random double values to the array elements, then sort
the array using the qsort function. Using the examples from the lecture, define a function that
compares numbers of type double. Pass the function address to the qsort function. Use the free
function to free up memory.
Problem 2:
Modify the source code of the program from Problem 1 to sort the string (character array).
• When allocating memory to an array, be sure to add '\0' at the end of the array.
• Assign random letters from 'a' to 'z' to the array elements.
• Print the array of characters using the printf("%s\n", arr)....; command.
• When using the qsort function, remember that '\0' must remain at the end of the array.
• Using the examples from the lecture, define a function that compares characters.
• Use the free function to free up memory.

It should display the contents of the first array, then call a function to sort the array using an ascending order bubble sort modified to print out the array contents after each pass of the sort. Next, the program should display the contents of the the second array, then call a function to sort the array using an ascending order selection sort modified to print out the array contents after each pass of the sort.arrow_forward
