Language is C++ -- Using Dynamic Memory 1 -- One statistic of interest.pdf
0 likes4 views
The document outlines a task of finding the median of a dataset stored in a text file using C++, emphasizing the need for dynamic memory allocation, minimal memory usage, and sorting the data. It differentiates between odd and even number of data items in calculating the median. The task requires counting items, sorting them, and outputting the median without including the standard library <bits/stdc++.h>.

Language is C++ -- Using Dynamic Memory 1 -- One statistic of interest.pdf
- 1. Language is C++ ** Using Dynamic Memory 1 ** One statistic of interest to many researchers is the median of a set of data. The median is the value in the middle. (This is NOT the average.) Being in the middle implies that the data are in order (sorted). If there are an odd number of data items, the middle is simple to find. If there are an even number of data items, you take the average of the two middle values. ** Task ** Find the median of a set of data from a text file of unknown length. 1. You need to count the number of items 2. Sort the data (you can use the stl sort function here) 3. Find the median 4. Output the median ** Restrictions ** 1. You must use dynamic memory to store the data 2. You must use as little memory as possible 3. DO NOT use #include<bits/stdc++.h> library Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
