Subject - Data Structure
Write a method, remove, that takes three parameters: an array of integers, the length of the array, and an integer, say, The method should find and delete the first occurrence of removeItem in the array. If the value does not exist or the array is empty, output an appropriate message. (Note that after deleting the element, the array size is reduced by1.) You may assume that the array is unsorted.

Ch7 - Arrays java
In a loop, ask the user to enter 10 integer values and store the values in an array. Pass the array to a method. In the method, use a loop to subtract 5 from each element and return the changed array to the main method.In the main method, use a loop to add the array values and display the result.

- (Numerical) Write and test a function that returns the position of the largest and smallest values in an array of double-precision numbers.arrow_forwardRecursive Power MethodWrite a method called powCal that uses recursion to raise a number to a power. The method should accept two arguments: The first argument is the exponent and the second argument is the number to be raised (example” powCal(10,2) means 210). Assume that the exponent is a nonnegative integer. Demonstrate the method in a program called Recursive (This means that you need to write a program that has at least two methods: main and powCal. The powCal method is where you implement the requirements above and the main method is where you make a method call to demonstrate how your powCal method work).arrow_forwardAn array is a group of things that can be put together.arrow_forward
- C Program Removing Elements in an Array Make a program that creates an array by asking the size n of the array and n integer inputs. Example: Input size of array: 5 Array elements: 1 2 3 4 5 After creating the array, you need to prompt the user again to pick m number of elements to remove. If the input is invalid, prompt the user to try again. An input is invalid if it meets either one of these criteria: Greater than size n of the array Negative number Example: Number of elements to remove: -2 Invalid number. Try again: 3 After a valid input, prompt the user for the valid indices to remove. An index is valid if it is within the range of the array size. Output the array elements after a valid index input and consider the new size of the array after. Example: Index (1): 2 Array elements: 1 2 4 5 Index (2): 4 Invalid index! Try again. Index (2): 0 Array elements: 2 4 5 Index (3): 2 Array elements: 2 4 After everything, print FINISHED! Input 1. Size of array 2.…arrow_forwardCircular Array 1. Palindrome Use python Write a method/function that takes in a circular array, its size and start index and finds whether the elements in the array form a palindrome or not.

- JAVA ARRAY MANIPULATION QUESTION: make a method called manipulator that takes a double array as parameter and modifies it. The method will modify the array then print the array. The method must modify the existing array, it CAN NOT create a different array as the solution. The manipulator method will be a void method. Remember: To get an average of 2 digits you add them together then divide by 2. Average of x and y = (x+y)/2 Modifications the method will do: For every 2 consecutive elements in the array, both the elements are replaced by their average. If the number of elements in an array is odd don't modify the last number of the array. Basically, you find the average of 2 consecutive elements then replace both of the elements with that value. Examples: Array = {2.0,3.0} will be changed to {2.5,2.5} when passed to the manipulator method Array = {2.0,3.0,45} will be changed to {2.5,2.5,45} when passed to the manipulator method Array = {2.0,3.0,45,55} will be changed to…arrow_forwardWhich is not true?

- JAVA Programming Problem 3 - Temperatures Write a program that uses a two dimensional array to store the highest and lowest temperatures for each month of the calendar year. The temperatures will be entered at the keyboard. This program must output the average high, average low, and highest and lowest temperatures of the year. The results will be printed on the console. The program must include the following methods: A method named inputTempForMonth whose purpose is to input a high and a low temperature for a specific month. The month and the array of temperatures will both be passed as input arguments to the method. The method will not have a return value. A method named inputTempForYear whose purpose is to input a high and a low temperature for every month of the year. There are no input arguments for this method, but the method does return a completed multidimensional array of temperatures for the year.

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…arrow_forward
