Program Plan Intro

Definition of function “firstLast2()”

Program Plan for “firstLast2()” function:

  • The function “firstLast2()” should declared before it defined in a program.
  • Define the function with its argument.
    • One argument is to get array values and another one is to define the size of the array.
    • Using “if…else” condition, check the array beginning and end value “2” or not.
      • If the condition is true, return “true” to calling function.
      • Otherwise return “false” to calling function.

Program Plan for testing code:

  • Include the appropriate headers into program.
  • Define the “firstLast2()” function.
  • Define the “main()” method.
    • Initialize the arrays with a value “2” at starting, ending, and middle position of arrays.
    • Call the “firstLast2()” function with resultant value using “if…else” condition.
    • Print the appropriate statement on screen.
Program Description Answer

Program Description:

The following C++ program to define the “firstLast2()” function with a testing method.

Explanation of Solution

Function definition:

//Function definition with bool type

bool firstLast2(int arr[],int size)

{

//Condition

if(arr[0]==2||arr[size-1]==2)

{

/*Return true to calling Function*/

return true;

}

//Else statement

else

{

/*Return false to calling Function*/

return false;

}

}

Testing code:

//Include the appropriate headers

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//Function definition with bool type

bool firstLast2(int arr[],int size)

{

//Condition

if(arr[0]==2||arr[size-1]==2)

{

/*Return true to calling Function*/

return true;

}

//Else statement

else

{

/*Return false to calling Function*/

return false;

}

}

//Main method

int main()

{

/*Initialization of arrays with different length*/

int a1[5]={2,5,6,5,1};

int a2[4]={5,6,1,2};

int a3[7]={6,4,5,2,5,1,1};

int a4[3]={6,5,1};

  /*Condition to check first array*/

if(firstLast2(a1, 5))

{

/*Print statement for true block*/

cout<<"The array contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

  //Else statement

else{

/*Print statement for false block*/

cout<<"The array does not contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

/*Condition to check second array*/

if(firstLast2(a2, 4))

{

/*Print statement for true block*/

cout<<"The array contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

//Else statement

else{

/*Print statement for false block*/

cout<<"The array does not contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

/*Condition to check third array*/

if(firstLast2(a3, 7))

{

/*Print statement for true block*/

cout<<"The array contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

//Else statement

else{

/*Print statement for false block*/

cout<<"The array does not contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

/*Condition to check fourth array*/

if(firstLast2(a4, 3))

{

/*Print statement for true block*/

cout<<"The array contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

//Else statement

else{

/*Print statement for false block*/

cout<<"The array does not contains a value 2  either at beginning and end of the array\n";

}

}

Sample Output

Output:

The array contains a value 2 either at beginning and end of the array

The array contains a value 2 either at beginning and end of the array

The array does not contains a value 2 either at beginning and end of the array

The array does not contains a value 2 either at beginning and end of the array
