Chapter 9, Problem 53RQE
Program Plan Intro
Pointer:
Pointer will allow the user to indirectly access and manipulate the variable data contents. A pointer variable will hold the address of the data contents. If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable then that variable is referred as pointer variable.
Operations that are allowed in a pointer:
- The math operation that is allowed for a pointer variable is “addition” and “subtraction”.
- Addition operation: The addition operation is performed using the “+”, “++”, “+=” operators.
- Subtraction operation: The subtraction operation is performed using the “-”, “--”, “-=” operators.
- The addition and subtraction operations are possible because the size of the pointer variable gets added or subtracted based on the data type it is being defined.
- Other math operations such as “multiplication” and “division” cannot be performed on a pointer variable because there is a possibility of garbage value or unallocated out range value being returned.

In the C programming language, if all function prototypes are listed at
the top of your code, outside and above all functions, you do not need
to worry about the order of the function definitions within the code.

- PHP Write a reduce function Write a function reduce($arr, $func) that takes an array and a function as a parameter. The reduce function should apply the parameter function to each element of the array in succession to produce a single result. Note: the current result should always be the first parameter to the function and the next element of the array should always be the second parameter. You may not use the PHP function array_reduce in your solution. For example, the result of the following should be 10. function myMax($current, $new) { return $current < $new ? $new : $current; } $arr = array(10, 5, 3, 5, 1, 2, 5, 7, 4); print("Max: " . reduce($arr, 'myMax') .arrow_forwardCount consecutive summers def count_consecutive_summers(n): Like a majestic wild horse waiting for the rugged hero to tame it, positive integers can be broken down as sums of consecutive positive integers in various ways. For example, the integer 42 often used as placeholder in this kind of discussions can be broken down into such a sum in four different ways: (a) 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9, (b) 9 + 10 + 11 + 12, (c) 13 + 14 + 15 and (d) 42. As the last solution (d) shows, any positive integer can always be trivially expressed as a singleton sum that consists of that integer alone. Given a positive integer n, determine how many different ways it can be expressed as a sum of consecutive positive integers, and return that count. The number of ways that a positive integer n can be represented as a sum of consecutive integers is called its politeness, and can also be computed by tallying up the number of odd divisors of that number.

- 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, 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.
