Chapter 10, Problem 6PC
Median Function
In statistics the median of a set of values is the value that lies in the middle when the values are arranged in sorted order. If the set has an even number of values, then the median is taken to be the average of the two middle values. Write a function that determines the median of a sorted array. The function should take an array of numbers and an integer indicating the size of the array and return the median of the values in the array. You may assume the array is already sorted. Use pointer notation whenever possible.

Write a C function named(Count_elements), that accepts a one-dimensional array and its size, returns how many elements of the array divisible by 3 and by 2.
e.g. the array is [1,7,13,22,15,6,4,3,2,9,21]
the output is:2
(CP6) Write a function that is passed an array of structs and performs calculations. The function should locate the highest gpa from a group of students. The function is passed the array of structs, the first element to be searched, and the last element to be searched. The return value of the function is the highest gpa in the search range.
struct data{ string name; double gpa;};
double highestGpa( data [ ], int, int );
data [ ] - array of structs to search
int - first element to be searched
int - last element to be searched
return - highest gpa from group

Write a modular program that analyzes a year’s worth of rainfall data. In addition to main, the program should have a getData function that accepts the total rainfall for each of 12 months from the user and stores it in an array holding double numbers. It should also have four value-returning functions that compute and return to main the totalRainfall, averageRainfall, driestMonth, and wettestMonth. These last two functions return the number of the month with the lowest and highest rainfall amounts, not the amount of rain that fell those months. Notice that this month number can be used to obtain the amount of rain that fell those months. This information should be used either by main or by a displayReport function called by main to print a summary rainfall report similar to the following:
2019 Rain Report for Springdale County
Total rainfall: 23.19 inches
Average monthly rainfall: 1.93 inches

The calcavg() function should calculate and return the average of values stored in an array named testvals. The array should be declared in main() and include the values 89, 95, 72, 83, 99, 54, 86, 75, 92, 73, 79, 75, 82, and 73. The variance() function should calculate and return the variance of the data. The variance is obtained by subtracting the average from each value in testvals, squaring the values obtained, adding them, and dividing by the number of elements in testvals. The values returned from calcavg() and variance() should be displayed by using cout statements in main().arrow_forward(Data processing) A bank’s customer records are to be stored in a file and read into a set of arrays so that a customer’s record can be accessed randomly by account number. Create the file by entering five customer records, with each record consisting of an integer account number (starting with account number 1000), a first name (maximum of 10 characters), a last name (maximum of 15 characters), and a double-precision number for the account balance. After the file is created, write a C++ program that requests a user-input account number and displays the corresponding name and account balance from the file.arrow_forward
- (Data processing) The answers to a true-false test are as follows: T T F F T. Given a twodimensional answer array, in which each row corresponds to the answers provided on one test, write a function that accepts the two-dimensional array and number of tests as parameters and returns a one-dimensional array containing the grades for each test. (Each question is worth 5 points, so the maximum possible grade is 25.) Test your function with the following data:arrow_forward(Numerical) Given a one-dimensional array of integer numbers, write and test a function that displays the array elements in reverse order.arrow_forward(Electrical eng.) Write a program that specifies three one-dimensional arrays named current, resistance, and volts. Each array should be capable of holding 10 elements. Using a for loop, input values for the current and resistance arrays. The entries in the volts array should be the product of the corresponding values in the current and resistance arrays (sovolts[i]=current[i]resistance[i]). After all the data has been entered, display the following output, with the appropriate value under each column heading: CurrentResistance Voltsarrow_forward
- (Statistics) a. Write a C++ program that reads a list of double-precision grades from the keyboard into an array named grade. The grades are to be counted as they’re read, and entry is to be terminated when a negative value has been entered. After all grades have been input, your program should find and display the sum and average of the grades. The grades should then be listed with an asterisk (*) placed in front of each grade that’s below the average. b. Extend the program written for Exercise 1a to display each grade and its letter equivalent, using the following scale: Between90and100=AGreaterthanorequalto80andlessthan90=BGreaterthanorequalto70andlessthan80=CGreaterthanorequalto60andlessthan70=DLessthan60=Farrow_forward(Numerical) a. Define an array with a maximum of 20 integer values, and fill the array with numbers input from the keyboard or assigned by the program. Then write a function named split() that reads the array and places all zeros or positive numbers in an array named positive and all negative numbers in an array named negative. Finally, have your program call a function that displays the values in both the positive and negative arrays. b. Extend the program written for Exercise 6a to sort the positive and negative arrays into ascending order before they’re displayed.arrow_forward(Electrical eng.) Write a program that declares three one-dimensional arrays named volts, current, and resistance. Each array should be declared in main() and be capable of holding 10 double-precision numbers. The numbers to store in current are 10.62, 14.89, 13.21, 16.55, 18.62, 9.47, 6.58, 18.32, 12.15, and 3.98. The numbers to store in resistance are 4, 8.5, 6, 7.35, 9, 15.3, 3, 5.4, 2.9, and 4.8. Your program should pass these three arrays to a function named calc_volts(), which should calculate elements in the volts array as the product of the corresponding elements in the current and resistance arrays (for example ,volts[1]=current[1]resistance[1]). After calc_volts() has passed values to the volts array, the values in the array should be displayed from inside main().arrow_forward
- (Data processing) Write an array declaration statement that stores the following values in an array named volts: 16.24, 18.98, 23.75, 16.29, 19.54, 14.22, 11.13, and 15.39. Include these statements in a program that displays the values in the array.arrow_forwardMedian Function – In statistics, the median of a set of values is the value that lies in the middle when the values are arranged in sorted order. If the set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. Your program should start with two arrays of integers containing the following values: Even numbered array: 17 32 45 68 99 101 67 89 22 27 Odd numbered array: 17 32 45 68 99 101 67 89 22 Using a sort function of your choice, first sort the arrays. NOTE: you may use the Standard Template Library sort function or your own sort function. Then, write a function that determines the median of a sorted array. The function should take an array of numbers and an integer indicating the size of the array and return the median of the values in the array. The same function should be called twice – once for the even array and once for the odd array. Your program should also have a printArray function that can be used to print the sorted array. (It…arrow_forwardC codeblocks Only write a function that receives an array, its size and a value to search for (define your function in the same way as the given function prototype). The function should return the index of the searched element in the array. If the element is not found, it should return -1. If the array has more than one element of that same value, it should return the value -2. The array is not necessarily sorted and should not be sorted in the function. #include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>int searchIt(int arr[], int size, int value);int main() {int a[]={1,2,3,4,5};printf("%d", searchIt(a,5,3));return 0;}//Your answer starts here.
