Given a sequence of n elements, assume that n is odd, propose an algorithm to find the median of the sequence under the comparison model such that the number of comparisons is no more than d3n/2e.

Write a function processpeople() that takes the name of a file as a parameter. each line of the file corresponds to information about a person. in particular a line contains either a name (in the form lastname, firstname with no spaces in it) or a name (lastname, firstname) and a year. the function will process the file, creating a person object for each line in the file. the function will print information about each line as it processes it, as well as appending the new person object into a list. make sure to use person methods to display information rather than recreating the work you did for the first problem. once the entire file has been processed, the function returns the list of person objects created from the file. if the file is empty, the function should return an empty list. if the input file cannot be opened, the function should print a message to that effect and then return an empty list. the following shows what would be displayed for two example files which have been provided in the link. the file none. txt does not exist. note that your function must work on an arbitrary file that consists of valid lines. you cannot assume anything about the file except that it contains lines that have the format described above.

Consider the following function main: int main() { int alpha[20]; int beta[20]; int matrix[10][4]; . . } a. write the definition of the function inputarray that prompts the user to input 20 numbers and stores the numbers into alpha. b. write the definition of the function doublearray that initializes the elements of beta to two times the corresponding elements in alpha. make sure that you prevent the function from modifying the elements of alpha. c. write the definition of the function copyalphabeta that stores alpha into the first five rows of matrix and beta into the last five rows of matrix. make sure that you prevent the function from modifying the elements of alpha and beta. d. write the definition of the function printarray that prints any onedimensional array of type int. print 15 elements per line. e. write a c11 program that tests the function main and the functions discussed in parts a through d. (add additional functions, such as printing a two-dimensional array, as needed.)

Write a method that takes in an array of point2d objects, and then analyzes the dataset to find points that are close together. be sure to review the point2d api. in your method, if the distance between any pair of points is less than 10, display the distance and the (x, y)s of each point. for example, "the distance between (3,5) and (8,9) is 6.40312." the complete api for the point2d adt may be viewed at ~pf/sedgewick-wayne/algs4/documenta tion/point2d. html (links to an external site.)links to an external site.. try to write your program directly from the api - do not review the adt's source code.
