Help With float Arrays PLEASE!!!!!

justachessgame · #1 04-Nov-2004, 10:27

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a program?

My instructions are to write the portion of a program that declares a float array with 100 elements. Write the code that performs the following operations:

1.) Displays the sum of the elements in the array.

2.) Displays the smallest number in the array.

3.) Displays the 5 largest numbers in the array.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK. I'll start:

CPP / C++ / C Code:


#include <???>   /* probably stdio.h or iostream, depending on whether it's C or C++ */

int main()
{
  float x[100];

  /* you put some stuff here                                     */
  /* If you have any questions about your code or mine, just ask */
  
  return 0;
}

Regards,

Dave

Dave post shows you this part. The only question I have is you say you have to write the portion of the program. Does this mean you are working with a group that is writing the rest of the code. If so, it would be wise to determine what storage needs you already have in your assignment.

Code:

    float smallest_number ;  // Maybe set this to the smallest possible ??

Code:

    float five_large[5] ;  // Here you could set all to the largest possible ??

Now you know what variables that you need to create code for. I find it easy to define my goals and then work at them.

Thank you Kind Folks!! I will try the rest now that you have given me a starting point! If I have any questions...I will surely ask! Thank You!
