1-D array

May 11th, 2006

Write a C-Program that swaps the elements of 1-D array (10 elements) :
Example:
If the given array is:
5 8 9 2 3 1 11 17 43 6
The new array will be:
6 43 17 11 1 3 2 9 8 5
Your program should consist of the following functions:
1. Function READ to read the elements of the array
2. Function Display to print the elements of the new array
3. Function SWAP to swap the elements of the array
4. main function to call the previous functions
Note: in swap function, do not use an intermediate array for swapping, i.e. do not
declare a new array and fill it with the elements of the original array starting from the
last element. The swap operation should be done on one array

The size of array must be N (Entered by user)

my question is how can i swap the elements of the array????

hi
looking at ur requierment, u can write in swap funtion like

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
for(int i=0; i<=4; ++i) {
     arr[i] = arr[i] + arr[9-i] ;
     arr[9-i] = arr[i] - arr[9-i] ;
     arr[i] = arr[i] - arr[9-i]
}
for(int i=0; i<=4; ++i) {
     arr[i] = arr[i] + arr[9-i] ;
     arr[9-i] = arr[i] - arr[9-i] ;
     arr[i] = arr[i] - arr[9-i]
}

hope this should work for u.

What is wrong with using a temporary variable?

Not to mention the possibility of data corruption due to whatever way you machine handles arithmetic overflow and underflow.

That's clever and braindead at the same time. Unless of course you didn't discover that solution, in which case it's just braindead.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

i solved it but the problem is that the first element of new array is always 0

in the for loop that swaps the values, you need to initialize j as 4 and not 5. otherwise it starts by accessing an array element that has not been initialized.

The last element of the array is at index 4, not index 5

for ( i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ ) // going forwards
for ( i = 4 ; i >= 0 ; i-- ) // going backwards
