1. Create an optimized function "print s(n, s)" that prints the given argument s (representing a string) k times. k represents the number of iterations of the inner loop. The print statement that prints s is in the inner loop of the function (a) Initial conditions: i = 1, j = 1, i <= n, and j <= i (b) i and j increments: i = i + 1 and j = j ∗ 2 (c) input as arguments in the function: n (an integer representing the size of the input), and s (the string) (d) output: print s k times (e) example: n=5, s="hello CSC510-01 class", given these conditions, the function "print s(n, s)" will print s 11 times

The program in C is as follows:

void prints(char arr[], int n){

   int count =0;

   for(int i=1 ;i<=n; i++){

   for(int j=1;j<=i; j=j*2){

   count++;    }    }  

   for(int i =0;i<count;i++){

       printf("%s ",arr);

   }

}

Explanation:

This defines the method

void prints(char arr[], int n){

This declares and initializes count variable to 0

   int count =0;

This creates the outer loop

   for(int i=1 ;i<=n; i++){

This creates the inner loop

   for(int j=1;j<=i; j=j*2){

This increments count by 1

   count++;    }    }  

This iterates through count

   for(int i =0;i<count;i++){

And print the string in count times. If count is 3, the string will be printed 3 times.

       printf("%s ",arr);

   }

}
