Question 4. An integer array A [30] [40] is stored along the column in the memory. If the element A[20][25] is stored at 50000, find out the location of A[25] [30].
Answer:
A[i] [j] = B+W x [No. of rows x (I-Lr) + (J-Lc)]
A[20] [25] = B + 2x [30x (20-0) + (25-0)]
50000 = B+2x[30x(20-0)+(25-0)]
B = 48750
A[7] [10] = 48750+ 2x[30x(7-0)+(10-0)]
= 49190
Question 5. An array P[30][20] is stored along the column in the memory with each element requiring 2 bytes of storage. If the base address of the array P is 26500, find out the location of P[20][10].
Answer:
Total number of rows = 30
Total size = 2 bytes
Base Address = 26500
LOC(P[I][J]) = Base Address+((I-LBR)+(J- LBC)*R)W
Assuming Lower Bound of Row(LBR)=0
Lower Bound of Column(LBC)=0
Total number of Rows(R)=30
Size of each element(W)=2
LOC(P[20][10]) = 26500 + ((20-0)+(10-0)*30)*2
LOC(P[20][10]) = 26500 + 640
LOC(P[20][10]) = 27140
Question 6. Write a function to sort any array of n elements using insertion sort. Array should be passed as argument to the function.

//Assuming a[0]=int_min i.e. smallest integer
for(p = 1; p<=n;p++)
{
temp=a[p];
ptr=p-1;
while (temp<a[ptr] )
{
a [ptr+1]=a[ptr] ; //Move Element
Forward
ptr--;
}
a[ptr+1]=temp; //Insert Element in Proper Place
}

Answer:
void NewMAT(int A[] [] , int r,int c)
{
for (int i = 0; i<r; i+ + )
for (j=0; j=60)&&(A[1] [j)<=600))
A[i][j]/=6
OR
A[i] [j] =A[i] [j] /6;
}
Question 8. Write the definition of a function Alter (intA[], int N) in C++, which should change all the multiples of 5 in the array to 5 and rest of the elements as 0. For example, if an array of 10 integers is as follows:

Answer:
Loc (P [I] [J] along the row =BaseAddress+W [(I-LBR)*C+ (J-LBC)]
(where C is the number of columns, LBR = LBC =0)
LOC (P [5] [5]) = BaseAddress + W* [I*C + J]
15000 = BaseAddress + 4 * [5 * 50 + 5]
= BaseAddress + 4 * [250 + 5]
= BaseAddress + 4*255 = BaseAddress + 1020
BaseAddress = 15000 -1020 = 13980
LOC (P [10] [30]) = 13980 + 4* [10 * 50 + 30]
= 13980 + 4 * 530
= 13980 + 2120
= 16100
OR LOC (P [10] [30])
= Loc (P[5] [5]) + W[ (I-LBR) * C+ (J-LBC)]
= 15000 + 4 [(10 – 5) * 50 + (30 – 5)]
= 15000 + 4 [5 * 50 + 25]
= 15000 + 4 *275
= 15000 + 1100
= 16100
OR
(where C is the number of columns and LBR = LBC = 1)
LOC (P [5] [5])
15000 = BaseAddress + W [(I-1) *C + (J-1)]
= BaseAddress + 4 [4*50 + 4]
= BaseAddress + 4 [200 + 4]
= BaseAddress + 4 * 204
= BaseAddress + 816
BaseAddress = 15000 – 816 = 14184
LOC (P [10] [30])
= 14184 + 4 [(10 -1) * 50 + (30 -1)]
= 14184 + 4 [9*50 + 29]
= 14184 + 4*479
= 14184 + 1916
= 16100
Question 10. Write the definition of function Change (int P[], int N) in C+ +, which should change all the multiples of 10 in the array to 10 and rest of the element as 1. For example, if an arrary of 10 integers is as follows:

100 43 20 56 32 91 80 40 45 21
After executing the function, the array content should be changed as follows:
P[0] P[l] P[2] P[3] P[4] P[5] P[6] P[7] P[8] P[9]
10 1 10 1 1 1 10 10 1 1
Answer:
void Change (int P[ ] , int N)
{
for (int i = 0; i<N; i++)

Answer:
Loc (ARR[I] [J] along the row
= BaseAddress + W [(I – LBR) *C + (J – LBC)]
(where C is the number of columns, LBR = LBC = 0 LOC (ARR [10] [5])
= BaseAddress + W [I *C + J]
15000 = BaseAddress + 4 [10 * 20 + 5]
= BaseAddress + 4 [200 + 5]
= BaseAddress + 4 x 205
= BaseAddress + 820
BaseAddress = 15000 – 820
= 14180
LOC (ARR [30] [10]) = 14180 + 4 [30 * 20 + 10]
= 14180 + 4 * 610

= 15000 + 4 [20*20 + 5]
= 15000 + 4 *405
= 15000 + 1620
= 16620
OR
Where C is the number of columns and LBR=LBC=1
LOC (ARR[10] [5])
15000 = BaseAddress + W [(I -1) * C + (J-l)]
= BaseAddress + 4 [9*20 + 4]
= BaseAddress + 4[180 + 4]
= BaseAddress + 4 * 184
= BaseAddress + 736
BaseAddress = 15000 – 736
= 14264
LOC (ARR [30] [10])
= 14264 + 4 [(30 -1) * 20 + (10 -1)]
= 14264 + 4[29 *20 + 9]

Short Answer Type Questions-II
Question 1. An array P[15][10] is stored along the column in the memory with each element requiring 4 bytes of storage. If the base address of array P is 1400, find out the location of P[8][5].
Answer:
Loc (P[8][5]) = B+W((I-Lr)+(J-Lc)M)
= 1400+4((8-0)+(5-0)15)
= 1732.
Question 2. Given an array A[10][12] whose base address is 10000. Calculate the memory location of A[2][5] if each element occupies 4 bytes and array is stored column wise.
Answer:
w=4
b=10000
m=10
n[i][i] = [b+ w(i-l1) + m(j-l2)
n[2][5] = [10000+ 4(2-0) + 10(5-0)]
n[2][5] = [10000 +8 +50 ]
n[2][5] = 10058
Question 3. An array T[-1..35][-2..15] is stored in the memory along the row with each element occupying 4 bytes. Find out the base address and address of element T[20][5], if an element T[2][2] is stored at the memory location 3000. Find the total number of elements stored in T and number of bytes allocated to T.
Answer:
Take T[2][2] as the base address [BA],
sr=starting row, sc=starting column;
Along the row
A[i][j] = BA + size[nc*(i-sr) + (j-sc)]
T[20][5] = 3000 + 4 [ 18 * (20-2) + (5-2)]
= 3000 + 4[(18 * 18) + (3)]
= 3000 + 4[324 + 3]
= 3000 + 4(327)
= 3000 + 1308
= 4308
nc = no. of columns sr=2 sc=2
Total number of elements stored in T=37*18=666
Total number of bytes allocated to T=666*4=2664
Question 4. An array A[20] [30] is stored along the row in the memory with each element requiring 4 bytes of storage. If the base address of array A is 32000, find out the location of A[15][10].Also, find the total number of elements present in this array.
Answer:
Array A[20] [30]
Base Address = 32000
Size of element(W)=4 bytes
A[I][J]=A[15][10] hence I=15 and J=10
Total Row (R)=20
Total Column (C)=30
A [I] IJ]=B + W[C(I-0)+(J-0)]
A[15][10]=32000 +4[30(15-0)+(10-0)]
= 32000+4[30(15)+10]
= 32000+4[450+10]
= 32000+4[460]
= 32000+1840
= 33840
Question 5. An array T[25][20] is stored along the row in the memory with each element requiring 2 bytes of storage. If the base address of array T is 42000, find out the location of T[10][15].Also, find the total number of elements present in this array.
Answer:
Array A[25] [20]
Base Address = 42000
Size of element(W)= 2 bytes
A[I][J]=A[10][15] hence I=10 and J=15
Total Row (R) = 25
Total Column (C)= 20
A [I] [J] =B+ W[C(I-0)+(J-0)]
A[10] [15] =42000 +2[20(10-0)+(15-0)]
= 42000+2(20(10+15)]
= 42000+2[200+15]
= 42000+2(215]
= 42000+430]
= 42430
Question 6. An array S[10][15] is stored in the memory with each elements requiring 2 bytes of storage.If the base address of array S is 25000, determine the location of S[5] [10] if the array is S stored along the column.
Answer:
S[10][15] //Base address; 25000
W=2 bytes
S[5][10] =?
m(row)=0 i=5
n(column)=15 j=10
Array is stored in the memory along the column:
P[i][j] = Base address + u[i+mxj]
s[5][10] = 25000+2[5+10×10]
= 25000+2(5+100] [1]
= 25000+2[105]
= 25000+210
= 25210
Question 7. An array T[15][10] is stored along the row in the memory with each element requiring 8 bytes of storage. If the base address of array T is 14000, find out the location of T[10][7].
Answer:
Base Address = 14000 = B
T [I][J] = B + W [C[I-Ir] + (J-Jc)]
= 14000 + 8 [10(10-0)+(7-0)]
= 14000 + 8 x 107
= 14000 + 856
= 14856
Question 8. Each element of the array A[8][6] is stored using 4 bytes of memory. If the element A[2][4] is stored at location 936, find the address of A[5][1]. Assume that the array is stored in Row Major.
Answer:
nr=8 nc=6 size = 4 bytes
A[2][4] = 936 A[5][1] = ?
Formula for row-major
A[i][j] = BA + size * ((i – sr) * nc + (j – sc))
A[5][1] = A[2][4] + 4 * ((5 – 2) * 6 + (1 – 4))
= 936 + 4* ((3) *6-3)
= 936 + 4 * 15
= 936 + 60
A[5][l] = 996

Array and their usage, sorting algorithm – selection sort and bubble sort, search in sorted array. The class objects compatible with all the class.
Question. What do you understand by Arrays? How you declare an Array?
Answer: An Array is a collection of variables of the same data type that are referenced by a common name. Array can be declared by the following statements: int n[]=new int[10];
Question. What are the different types of arrays?
Answer: (i) Single Dimensional Arrays: A list of items can be given one variable name using only one subscript and such a variable is called a single subscripted variable or a one or single dimensional array.
(ii) Multi Dimensional Arrays: This type of arrays are actually arrays of arrays.
Question. Why we use Arrays? or What are the Advantages of using Arrays.
Answer: The Advantages or Arrays are:
(i) Easy to Specify.
(ii) Free from run-time overload.
(iii) Random access of elements.
(iv) Fast Sequential Access.
Question. How can arrays be initialized?
Answer: Array can be initialized at the time of declaration by providing the value list at the same time.
Question. What do you understand by out-of-bound subscripts?
Answer: The subscripts other than 0 to n-1 for an array having n elements are called out-of-bounds subscripts.
Question. What do you mean by Binary Search?
Answer: This search technique searches the given ITEM in minimum possible compression. The Binary search requires the array must be sorted in any order. The search ITEM is compared with middle element of the array. If the ITEM is more then the middle element later part of the arrays becomes the new array segment. The same process is repeated until either the ITEM is found or the array segment is reduce to single element.
Question. Differentiate between linear search and binary search techniques?
Answer: In linear search each elements of the array is compared with the given item to be searched for one by one while binary search searches for the given item in a sorted array. The search segment reduces to half at every successive stage.
Question. State the conditions under which Binary Search is applicable?
Answer:Answer: For Binary Search The List must be sorted, lower bound upper bound and the sort order of the list must be known.
Question. Comment on the efficiency of linear search and Binary Search in relation to the number of element in the list being searched?
Answer: The Linear search compares the search item with each element of the array, one by one. If the search item happens to be in the beginning of the array, the compressions are low, however if the element to be searched for is one of the last elements of the array, this search technique proves the worst as so many comparisons take place. The Binary search on the other hand, tries to locate the search item in minimum possible comparisons, provided the array is sorted. This technique proves efficient in nearly all the cases.
Question. What do you mean by sorting?
Answer: Sorting of an array means arranging the array elements in a specified order.
Question. What is Selection sort?
Answer: In selection sort the smallest ( or largest depending upon the desired order) key from the remaining unsorted array is searched for and put in the sorted array. The process repeats until the entire array is sorted.
Question. What is Bubble sort?
Answer: In bubble sort the adjoining values are compared and exchanged if they are not in proper order. This process is repeated until the entire array is sorted.
Question. Which element is num[9] of the array num?
Answer: 10th element. Because the first index number/subscript value of an array is 0. So 9th element is treated as the 10th element in an array.
