Finding the Median

[PDB1982]

I am trying to find a way to find a median of individual parallel arrays, but I'm not sure how to start. One question I have, though....is an array the same as a list? I was told that it might be easier to do a bubble sort of a list, but I'm not sure how to turn my array into one...

here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>

An array and a list are two different things. Its a lot easier to sort an array than linked list.

An array and a list are two different things. Its a lot easier to sort an array than linked list.

Depends of the definition of "easier" and relative to whom :

int A[4] = {4,5,-1,2};
list<int> B(A,A+5);

std::sort(A,A+5); //sort array
list.sort(); //sort list

[mrnutty]

@OP : I think you need to rethink your code (if you have time).

You are hardcoding it way too much. It makes it hard for us to help you.

For example you are doing a lot of :

if (students >> studentid[i] >> fname[i] >> lname[i] >> Q1[i] >> Q2[i] >> Q3[i] >> MidTerm[i]  ...

By making it into a loop, you code would be about 50 percent shorter
and more understandable.

What do you think?

I want to roll with code as I have it now, since I have a week to get this done. I want to make sure that I can get one set of codes working first, then try to clean it up if I have time.

Any ideas on how I should try to create my Median function?

[Ancient Dragon]

Which array to you want to find the median of? Since you want to make it very difficult for yourself, sort all eight arrays at the same time, using only one of the for testing purposes. What a swap is needed you will have to swap all eight arrays so that they are kept in order. That should have been a lot easier had you used a structure to hold all the information for one person. But since you didn't, you will just have the bite the bullet and do it the difficult way.

wow..it's huge..!@#..i'm sorry..

Instead of berating me, why not teach me how to do it properly? I've tried hard on this code, and I apologize that I'm not up to your standards, but it would still be great if you could pass your infinite knowledge on to the lowest of lowly students :P

[Ancient Dragon]

Well, you still failed to answer my question. I made a valid suggestion in the first three sentences. Now its up to you to take it or leave it -- your choice.

>>it would still be great if you could pass your infinite knowledge on to the lowest of lowly students
I would be happy to do that -- but first you have to answer my questions. I'm not a mind reader.

I'll take it! I'm trying to find the median of all the Q's (i.e. Q1, Q2, etc.), since I have them in parallel arrays. I understand that a structure would make it easier, I just 1). haven't covered it yet, and 2). want to make sure that I at least have a working code to turn in before delving into something new.....

First create an temporary array to hold the values

int array[] = {Q1[0], Q2[0], Q3[0], Q4[0], Q5[0], Q6[0], Q7[0], Q8[0]};
// now for the array
for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
   for(int j = i+1; j < 8; j++)
   {
       if( array[i] > array[j] )
       {
           int temp = array[i];
           array[i] = array[j];
           array[j]= temp;
         }
    }
 }
 // now the median is the middle value of array
int median = array[4];

Once you get the above compiled and working, make a function out of it so that the function can be called for each row in the Q arrays.

int median(int Q1, int Q2, int Q3, int Q4, int Q5, int Q6, int Q7, int Q8)
{
    // calculate and return the median of the parameters
}

int main()
{
    int Q1[8], Q2[8], Q3[8] ... Q8[8];

    for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
        int m = median( Q1[i], Q2[i], ... Q8[i]);
    }
}

    for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
        int m = median( Q1[i], Q2[i], ... Q8[i]);
    }
}

how would I print the values of the array out?

would it be:

int store(ifstream& students, string studentid[60], string fname[60], string lname[60], 
					 int Q1[60], int Q2[60], int Q3[60], int MidTerm[60], int Q4[60], int Q5[60], 
					 int Q6[60], int Final[60],int i)
{
	int median;
	int array[]={Q1[i],Q2[i],Q3[i],MidTerm[i],Q4[i],Q5[i],Q6[i],Final[i]};

	for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
	{
	 for(int j = i+1; j < 8; j++)
	   {
	    if( Q1[i] > Q1[j] )
		   {
				int temp = Q1[i];
				Q1[i] = Q1[j];
				Q1[j]= temp;
			}
		}
	 }
	median = Q1[4];
	return median;
}

and then in my void main()

cout << store (id, fname, lname, .....etc);

since I'm trying to find the median of a vertical column....however the result that comes out is 65, when the mathematical median is actually 70.5...
