Exam 2 Answer Sheet
Last Name: ______, First Name: ______
1) (20 pts) The mode in a list of numbers is the most frequently occurring number. Complete the program below so that it calculates the mode of the test scores entered by the user. Declare extra variables as needed. Note: All test scores will be in between 0 and 100, inclusive. At most, 1000 test scores will be entered.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int numScores, mode;
int freq[101];
printf("How many scores are you entering?\n");
scanf("%d", &numScores);
printf("The most common score was %d.\n", mode);
return 0;
}
2) (10 pts) Fill in the function below that it returns the harmonic mean of two positive numbers. The harmonic mean of two numbers x and y is defined as .
double harmonicMean(double x, double y) {
}
3) (15 pts) An inversion in an integer array is a pair of integers that are "out of order." Specifically, for a pair, if the larger number appears in the array BEFORE the smaller number, it is an inverted pair. For example, consider an array of size five storing the following values: 6, 1, 8, 2, 3. The inverted pairs are (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (8, 2) and (8, 3). Thus, this example array has 5 inversions. Write a function that calculates the number of inversions in an integer array. The function will have two parameters: the array and its length.
int numInversions(int values[], int length) {
}
4) (15 pts) Write a function which takes in a single positive integer and returns 1 if the number is prime and 0 otherwise. Note: 1 is NOT a prime number. Otherwise, a prime number is any positive integer that does NOT have any factors greater than 1 other than itself.
int isPrime(int n) {
}
