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.

PHP
Write a reduce function
Write a function reduce($arr, $func) that takes an array and a function as a parameter. The reduce function should apply the parameter function to each element of the array in succession to produce a single result. Note: the current result should always be the first parameter to the function and the next element of the array should always be the second parameter. You may not use the PHP function array_reduce in your solution. For example, the result of the following should be 10.
function myMax($current, $new) { return $current < $new ? $new : $current; } $arr = array(10, 5, 3, 5, 1, 2, 5, 7, 4); print("Max: " . reduce($arr, 'myMax') .
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.

Write a modular program that analyzes a year’s worth of rainfall data. In addition to main, the program should have a getData function that accepts the total rainfall for each of 12 months from the user and stores it in an array holding double numbers. It should also have four value-returning functions that compute and return to main the totalRainfall, averageRainfall, driestMonth, and wettestMonth. These last two functions return the number of the month with the lowest and highest rainfall amounts, not the amount of rain that fell those months. Notice that this month number can be used to obtain the amount of rain that fell those months. This information should be used either by main or by a displayReport function called by main to print a summary rainfall report similar to the following:
2019 Rain Report for Springdale County
Total rainfall: 23.19 inches
Average monthly rainfall: 1.93 inches

- (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(Numerical) Write and test a function that returns the position of the largest and smallest values in an array of double-precision numbers.arrow_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

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.
