Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 9, Problem 3SA
Explanation of Solution
Binary search:
- Binary search is a smart search process that searches for the particular element that is present in the array from the middle towards the left or right until the search element is found.
- The search element is searched from the middle as the elements present in the array needs to present in the sorted order.
- If the search element is larger it will search towards the right of the array.
- If the search element is smaller it will search towards the left of the array...

- (Numerical) Given a one-dimensional array of integer numbers, write and test a function that displays the array elements in reverse order.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_forwardJava:arrow_forward

It should call a module that uses the sequential search algorithm to locate one of the values. The module should keep a count of the number of comparisons it makes until it finds the value. Then the program should call another module that uses the binary search algorithm to locate the same value. It should also keep a count of the number of comparisons it makes.

- Using C languagearrow_forwardAn array is a collection of similar data elements stored at contiguous memory locations. It is the simplest data structure where each data element can be accessed directly by only using its index number. The following is an array of unsorted numbers called NumArr. NumArr: 24 56 78 79 34 75 2 23arrow_forwardAssignment Write a program that reads a 2D array of chars, checks, and corrects each char within this array, and print out the corrected 2D array. First the program will read the row count (rowCount) and column count (columnCount) of the 2D array, both as int values. Then, the chars constituting the 2D array will be read on a row-by-row basis. After reading the 2D array, the program will check and correct each char within the 2D array according to the rules below. This process MUST be done by using a void function by sending the appropriate cell of the 2D array with a call-by-reference fashion. • If the row index is an even number, a char can only be a lowercase English value. • If the row index is an odd number, a char can only be ?, 7', or X'. • Any incorrect value MUST be changed into Finally, the checked and corrected 2D array will be printed out to the screen.
