Status: offline 		i desperatly need help in my programming class. i know there are tons of super smart computer people on here and i need you, male female dom sub slave, idc. just help...please?

"input the selling prices of all houses in a sub-division named botany bay sold during the year 2006 and determin the median selling price. the median of a list N numbers is as fallows: the middle number of the sorted list if N is odd; the average number of the two middle numbers in the sorted list, if N is even. (hint: after inputting the prices into an array, sort that array)"

i don't need the exact answer, just give me an idea or get me started in the right direction. cause, i'm not getting it. the book isn't helping. this is NOT my homework, but instead a teamwork project but this problem has landed on me. so, some ideas on the right codes would be great, or at least how to lable the parts right.

the others are counting on me and i don't want to displease or fail them. i'm already  because i just can't figure it out.

make an arbitrary array of 1.4 the size you could possibly need. (y=mx +b) roughly a 45 degree angle on the graph...


something doing a validinputcount = validinputcount + 1 or quit

tempresult = validinputcount/2
any integer number (which is what your valid input variable will hold) divided by 2 into an integer tempresult will be odd if you multiply it by 2 and it is not the same number you started with.
if tempresult = validinputcount
do
enddo

if tempresult <> validinputcount
do
enddo

quit



Lady, you owe me a world class daylong blowjob, now get outta here!!! gowan!!!! scram!!!!!!


Ron

if it is odd you already have your index into your array

if you are doing this in c/c++ or java or one of the oo languages, check the library, they got the functions is even, is odd, is alpha, is numeric, just glue the shit up.

Or, as marilyn chambers said about gobbling Johnnie the wad Holmes' seal clubber.......

It's just another act.

and thats why I talk like I do.....people on the inside in computing often do the yadda, yadda, yadda thing.......giving you the start of something and expect you to suture the rest of it together.......confusing to others sometimes, I suppose.......but the medium is the message......

My first guess is that if I look hard I bet I could find a few of them out there.
Good luck with your class - I will be joining you in about 3 months with my classes.

(hint: after inputting the prices into an array, sort that array)"


Create and fill your array. Sort your array. Divide your array in half as such:

If odd: N/2+0.5 = the element that gives your your median

If even: ((N/2)+(N/2+1))/2 = the average of the two middle elements as your median

I hope this helps, and I'm not even asking for any kind of personal service in return.

LOL,
good to see you, I haven't seen you around, but it could be the aging eyes thingie, too.

Status: offline 		Thanks Ron, glad to be back. No, your eyes are fine. I've been away taking care of some unpleasantries.

My math challenges were such that, in my first job in a data operations department, they moved me from programming into operations during my first three days on site. But, my skills weren't wasted as I pressed into service writing job control scripts. I actually liked it better; no more pressure coming up with formulas that were just plain wrong. At least the script controlled jobs went off without a hitch, unlike the actual programs themselves which usually crashed at least once per shift.
