Chapter 6, Problem 3P

a. Compute the median of a data file. The median is the number that has the same number of data elements greater than the number as there are less than the number. For purposes of this problem, you are to assume that the data is sorted (that is, is in increasing order). The median is the middle element of the file if there are an odd number of elements, or the average of the two middle elements if the file has an even number of elements. You will need to open the file, count the elements, close the file and calculate the location of the middle of the file, open the file again (recall the “start over” discussion in this chapter), count up to the file entries you need, and calculate the middle.

If your instructor has assigned this problem, ask for a data file to test your program with. Otherwise, construct several files on your own, including one with an even number of data points, increasing, and one with an odd number, also increasing.

b. For a sorted file, a quartile is one of three numbers: The first has one-fourth the data values less than or equal to it, one-fourth the data values between the first and second numbers, one-fourth the data points between the second and the third, and one-fourth above the third quartile. Find the three quartiles for the data file you used for part (a).

(Hint: You should recognize that having done part (a) you have one third of your job done—you have the second quartile already. You also should recognize that you have done almost all the work toward finding the other two quartiles as well.)

You are to write a program that will read a text file, echo it to the screen, and create an array of the words in the file. When the program terminates, it should produce a list of the words encountered. and the number of times each word occurred (this information is to be stored in the array). The ordering of that list should be based on the order in which the words first occurred in the original text file, with one word per line. Format the output line as:      Word                      Count       See                           14       Spot                          4       Run                          25 You may assume the following simplifying characteristics concerning the text file. The punctuation in the file consists only of periods, question marks, exclamation marks, and commas. There are 2 blanks following each period, exclamation mark, or question mark, followed by the first letter of the next sentence. The two blanks will be omitted if the delimiter terminates a line. There…
Problem: • Assume that we have a matrix that stored inside a file and it contains monthly salary of each employee of a company. The matrix column starts from month 1 to 12, and for the rows you can enter data for 6 employees minimum. • The output of the program must be the annual salary of each employee of the company.
