random numbers, and 2 dimensional array

Nov 9th, 2007

Define a 5 x10 2-dimensional array of integers (5 rows of 10 columns), randomly generate 50 numbers between 1 and 100, assign them to the array elements and display all the numbers on 5 lines of 10 integers each.

/*int rnum;*/

	/*srand(time(0));  // Initialize random number generator.
    rnum = (rand() % 50) + 1;
	if (rnum>1 && rnum <100)*/
	for(int r=0; r<row; r++)
	{ for(int c=0; c<column;c++)
		{ cout << table[row][column];
		}
	}




		system("pause");
		return 0;
}

how would i apply the random part of this problem to the code?

Are you sure this is what you want to be doing?
In regard to implementing the random integers, you can just assign them as you print that particular cell. So add something before the above code.

On a minor note, why are you creating an array of doubles?

   rnum = (rand() % 50) + 1;
   if (rnum>1 && rnum <100)
   rnum = (rand() % 50) + 1;
   if (rnum>1 && rnum <100)

this is not doing quite what you want. rnum will be in the range 1-50. Your if condition will fail on value 1, which should be legitimate.

You're on the right track to get your 1-100 range, and you don't need the if statement.

You need to place the rand( ) statement inside the innermost loop, assigning that value to an array element.

If you choose to do the assignments and display in the same loops, you will also need to add some spacing between the outputs, and output a newline at the after the inner loop completes.

what do you mean? i need to place the rand( ) statement inside the innermost loop, assigning that value to an array element.

how would i do that?

You know how to populate a two dimensional array with an iteration(for, while etc.)statement right?
Do it the same way, except set the values equal to random numbers instead.

okay so the second part of this assingment is: Using a sort routine of your choice, sort the numbers in each of the rows of the array and display the sorted numbers again on 5 lines of 10 numbers each

i have no idea how to do this...in a 2d array. please help!

You can't do this part until you get the first part done. Did you? If so, we can't see the code...

yes i did.
it this:

	}while (swap);
}

	int t[row];
	
	srand(time(0));  // Initialize random number generator. 
	rnum = (rand() % 100) + 1;	
	


	for(int r=0; r<row; r++)//row	
	{ for(int c=0; c<column; c++)
	table [r][c] = (rand()%100) + 1;
	}
	
	for(int r=0; r<row; r++)//row	
	{ for(int c=0; c<column; c++) //column
	 
	{ 
		cout << setw(5) << table[r][c] << ' '; //display table
		 
	}
		cout << endl;
	}   


sortarray (t, row);

	cout << "your new sorted table is:  ";
	 showarray ( t, row);


	
	
	system("pause");		
	return 0;

}



void sortarrray(int t[], int elems)
{
	int temp;
	bool swap;

	do
	{
		swap=false;
		for (int count=0; count < (elems-1); count++)
		{
			if (t[count] > t[count +1])
			{ 
				 temp = t[count];
				t[count]=t[count +1];
				t[count +1]= temp;
				swap=true;
			}
		}
	}while (swap);
}





void showarray (int t[], int elems)
{
	for (int count=0; count < elems; count++)
		cout << t[count] << " ";
	cout << endl;
}

i tried doing the second part, but i didnt succeed. it also asks me to do a binary search...would it change if its a 2d array?

Re: random numbers, and 2 dimensional array

you need to change the sort function to sort one column of a two-dimensional array

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
void sortarrray(int t[][10], int NumRows, int ColToSort)
{
   // sort code here
}
void sortarrray(int t[][10], int NumRows, int ColToSort)
{
   // sort code here
}

>>it also asks me to do a binary search...would it change if its a 2d array?
Very similar to the way you would sort it. Start out using the normal binary search algorithm for a one-dimensional array then expand it to use a 2-dimensional array that searches only one of the columns.

You have a sort function that will sort a 1D array, it looks to be correct.

In order to sort each row of the 2D array, pass each row to this function.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int i;
for( i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
   sort_array( table[i], 10 );
int i;
for( i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
   sort_array( table[i], 10 );

Using just one index with a 2D array is the essentially accessing just that row, treating it as a 1D array.

Of course, you cannot do this with columns. That's a problem for another day.
