Chapter 9, Problem 9PC
Median Function
In statistics, when a set of values is sorted in ascending or descending order, its median is the middle value. If the set contains an even number of values, the median is the mean, or average, of the two middle values. 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 median of the array. This value should be returned as a double. (Assume the values in the array are already sorted.)
Demonstrate your pointer prowess by using pointer notation instead of array notation in this function.

A cylinder of diameter 10 cm rotates concentrically inside another hollow
cylinder of inner diameter 10.1 cm. Both cylinders are 20 cm long and stand with their
axis vertical. The annular space is filled with oil. If a torque of 100 kg cm is required to
rotate the inner cylinder at 100 rpm, determine the viscosity of oil. Ans. μ= 29.82poise
Make the following game user friendly with GUI, with some simple graphics
The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.

Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish between hardware and a software problem?
