Program Description Answer

c. data type

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

A basic integer index value (depending on the language) is used to access an individual element of an array. An array, in the case of data elements, will allow faster access. If the data elements are of the same data type, then, they can be accessed fastly and easily. Therefore, every element must be of the same data type for faster accessibility of the data.

Conclusion:

The arrays are a collection of the same data type elements. For faster access of data, arrays use either only int data type, or only float type. That means it should be of the same type. So, the correct answer for the given question statement is c. data type.

Add a prompt to ask the user to input their last name (no spaces ; please use underscores if needed), age and a balance of their choice. Create a new entry in the patient_list array with this information [Important note: you can statically modify the code to have the patient_list array hold an extra entry ; no need to do any dynamic memory allocation to accommodate the new entry]. #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <cstring>   using namespace std;   //  Declaring a new struct to store patient data struct patient {     int age;     char name[20];     float balance; };     //  TODO: //  IMPLEMENT A FUNCTION THAT COMPARES TWO PATIENTS BY AGE   //  THE FUNCTION RETURNS AN INTEGER AS FOLLOWS: //      -1 IF THE AGE OF THE FIRST PATIENT IS LESS //         THAN THE SECOND PATIENT'S AGE //       0 IF THE AGES ARE EQUAL //       1 OTHERWISE       //  TODO: //  IMPLEMENT A FUNCTION THAT COMPARES TWO PATIENTS BY BALANCE DUE   //  THE FUNCTION RETURNS AN INTEGER AS…
