Directions:

Answer all questions and follow the rules below.

Please attach one single text file (not Word or other formats) with all your answers.

Do not send multiple files!

I just need the answer ... do not send program output, only the C source code ... and again, all in one single text file.

Understand that if I ask for a function, all I am looking for is that function in your answer ... not a complete program that includes a main function ... I just need to see your function as the answer.

If I ask for a program, then I am looking for a main function that calls one or more functions (include the functions).

If I ask for a code segment, then all I am looking for is just the code needed to answer the question.

Rules:

1. You many use your book and notes

2. Quality, Re-usability, Maintainability, Readability, and Efficient code will be stressed in addition to correctness.

3. Same rules and standards apply as your homework assignments (comments, headers, style, ...)

4. Use your computer to compile your code and test it out

5. Contact me if you have questions or state your assumptions

Questions:

1) Use the link below for the background needed to create two functions that work with a Trapezoid

https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/trapezoid.html

a) Write a function that will return the area of a trapezoid
b) Write a function that will return the perimeter of a trapezoid

2) Write a function

int frequency (int theArray [ ], int n, int x)

that counts the number of times the item x appears among the first n elements of theArray and returns that count as the frequency of x in theArray. Use integers for everything!

For example, if the array being passed contained the values 5, 7, 23, 8, 23, 67, 23

... and n was 7 and x was 23, then it would return a value of 3 since 23 occurs 3 times within the first 7 elements of the array.


3a) Represent the mathematical operation: max (x, y, w, z) as a C function. This is, write a function that is passed 4 integer values that returns the largest value of those four parameters. For example, max (5, 2, 4, 1) would return 5 since it is the largest value of the four parameters.

3b) Rewrite the mathematical operation: max (x, y, w, z) as a single statement using the conditional expression operator. For example, max (x, y) would be:

max = (x > y) ? x : y;

Hint: You will have more than one conditional expression operator (?) in your answer, and it would help to use boolean logic operations that were covered in Week 3.

4) Given the following test scores and grade equivalents, write a function which is passed a score, and returns a letter grade based on the score entered. A number less than 0 or greater than 100 is invalid.

            Score                    Grade

            ------                   -----

            90-100                   A

            80-89                    B

            70-79                    C

            60-69                    D

            0 -59                    F

5) Write a function that is passed an array of characters containing letter grades from our previous question, and prints a report that shows the total number of occurrences of each letter grade. Your function should accept both lower and upper case grades, for example, both 'b' and 'B' should be bucketed into your running total for B grades. Any grade that is invalid should be bucketed as a grade of 'I' for Incomplete.

You must use a switch statement, and your function should accept an array of any size. Feel free to pass in the array size as parameter so you know how many grades you'll need to check in your loop.

For example, if you passed a function the following array:

char grades [ ] = {'A', 'b', 'C', 'x', 'D', 'c', 'F', 'B', 'Y', 'B', 'B', 'A'};

   It would print:

       Grade        Total

       -----        -----

         A            2

         B            4

         C            2

         D            1

         F            1    

         I            2

6) Write a program that contains a main function and three other functions that will return various attribute information about an array of floating point numbers:

array_sum - total sum of all array elements
array_avg - average of all array elements
array_min - the smallest number of the array elements

The main function should print the values returned from each function at the end of the program.

7) Write a function that raises an integer to a positive integer power.

Call the function x_to_the_n, taking two integer arguments x and n. Have the function return a long int, which represents the results of
calculating x to the nth power. Do not use the C pow library function.

Example: if x = 3 and n = 2, the function would return 9.

NOTE: Do not use recursion (since that version is in your lecture notes).

Provide the code need to DECLARE an array of structures given the above information. Don't write a program and don't worry about initializing the structure based on the information above.

Be careful on how you declare the members of a structure. Grading will be based on how the flexibility of your design (i.e., define many structures and have structures within structures if necessary).

Note: Don't go overboard such as having a structure with only one member just to create many structures.
