Short Answer Questions (3-4 sentences expected per question)
1) Give a brief description of the three different loop types (for, while, do-while). When is
each loop type most useful? Are there certain problems that can only be solved with
one type of loop?
2) When we pass an integer into a function as an argument, the value gets copied into the
parameter. When we pass an array of integers into a function, does every array element
also get copied? Why or why not?
3) There are several reasons we might choose to write a user-function in our program,
instead of just using a the main() function. Give two benefits of writing our own
functions and explain each in a sentence or two.
4) In C, we have a special character (NULL character, ‘\0’) for indicating the end of a
string. Would it make sense to have a similar special integer value to indicate the end of
integer arrays? Why or why not?
$1) int median_of_three (int a, int b, int c) This function accepts three integers as input and returns the median (middle value) of the three. Several examples are given below, along with the expected return value. Input numbers 2, 3, Expected return value 1 2, 4, 3 3 5, 5, 5 5 1, 1, 5 1 2) void print_reverse (char str[]) This function will accept a string as an input argument and return nothing. All this function does is print the string in reverse order. For this question, you may include string.h and use strlen(), but you may NOT use the string function strrev(). Several examples are given below. Input string Expected printout "H" "H" "Hello" "olleH" "Hello, World!" "racecar" "!dlrow ,olleH" “racecar" When attempting this question, remember that a string is nothing more than an array of characters with the NULL character (\0') as a terminator. 3) int is_ascending (int arr[], int len) This function will accept an array of integers as input, as well as the length of that array. It will return an integer. If the elements of the array are in strict ascending order, it will return the integer 1, and 0 otherwise. Several examples are given below indicating how your function should behave. Expected return value Input array {-5, 10, 99, 1234} {2, 3, 3, 4, 5} {-99} {4, 6, 7, 3, 7, 9} {1, 1, 1, 1} 1 (values 3 and 3 are equal, not ascending) 1 (an array with one value is ascending) How you accomplish this is completely up to you. You'll need a loop, you'll need some if/else logic, but whatever you do is fine so long as it produces the correct results.$

0) void promise (char name[])
This function will not return anything. It will accept a string as an argument, and print
out the following message to the screen:
