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.

Movie Data
Write a program that will be used to gather statistical data about the number of movies college students see in a month. The program should ask the user how many students were surveyed and dynamically allocate an array of that size. The program then should allow the user to enter the number of movies each student has seen. It should then sort the scores and calculate the average.
Modularity:
Main: The main function should accept the number of students from the user and dynamically create an array large enough to contain number of movies watched for each student. Input validation: The number of students should be a positive integer. Print the average and free the allocated array when complete.
Get the data: This function should get the number of movies watched by each college student. Input validation: The number of movies should be a positive integer.
Sort the data: This function should sort the array in ascending order. Note you may use the Standard Template Library sort…
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE: C++
Write a program that accepts up to 20 test-match scores of a batsman in the range of 0 to 100 from the user and stores them in an array. Then main should report how many perfect scores (i.e., scores of 100) and ducks (i.e., scores of 0) were entered
To receive an array argument, a function's parameter list must specify that the function expects to receive an array. The size of the array is not required between the array brackets. Select one:
True
False

- (Statistics) Write a program that includes two functions named calcavg() and variance(). 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(List maintenance) The following letters are stored in an alphabet array: B, J, K, M, S, and Z. Write and test a function named adlet(), which accepts the alphabet array and a new letter as arguments, and then inserts the new letter in the correct alphabetical order in the array.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
- (Numerical) Given a one-dimensional array of integer numbers, write and test a function that displays the array elements in reverse order.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(Data processing) Write a program that uses an array declaration statement to initialize the following numbers in an array named slopes: 17.24, 25.63, 5.94, 33.92, 3.71, 32.84, 35.93, 18.24, and 6.92. Your program should locate and display the maximum and minimum values in the array.arrow_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(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(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
- In statistics, the mode of a set of values is the value that occurs most often or with the greatest frequency. Write a function that accepts as arguments the following: A) An array of integers B) An integer that indicates the number of elements in the array The function should determine the mode of the array. That is, it should determine which value in the array occurs most often. The mode is the value the function should return. If the array has no mode (none of the values occur more than once), the function should return −1. (Assume the array will always contain non negative values.) Demonstrate your pointer prowess by using pointer notation instead of array notation in this function.arrow_forwardArray Expander - Use Pointer Notation for the function and within the function.
