Lottery Winners Modification

Modify the program you wrote for Programming Challenge 2 (Lottery Winners) so it performs a binary search instead of a linear search.

Median Function – In statistics, the median of a set of values is the value that lies in the middle when the values are arranged in sorted order.   If the set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.  Your program should start with two arrays of integers containing the following values: Even numbered array:  17 32 45 68 99 101 67 89 22 27 Odd numbered array:   17 32 45 68 99 101 67 89 22 Using a sort function of your choice, first sort the arrays.  NOTE:  you may use the Standard Template Library sort function or your own sort function. Then, write a function that determines the median of a sorted array.   The function should take an array of numbers and an integer indicating the size of the array and return the median of the values in the array.   The same function should be called twice – once for the even array and once for the odd array. Your program should also have a printArray function that can be used to print the sorted array. (It…
C++ Lexicographical Sorting Given a file of unsorted words with mixed case: read the entries in the file and sort those words lexicographically. The program should then prompt the user for an index, and display the word at that index. Since you must store the entire list in an array, you will need to know the length. The "List of 1000 Mixed Case Words" contains 1000 words. You are guaranteed that the words in the array are unique, so you don't have to worry about the order of, say, "bat" and "Bat." For example, if the array contains ten words and the contents are cat Rat bat Mat SAT Vat Hat pat TAT eat after sorting, the word at index 6 is Rat You are encouraged to use this data to test your program.
Count dominators def count_dominators(items): An element of items is said to be a dominator if every element to its right (not just the one element that is immediately to its right) is strictly smaller than it. By this definition, the last item of the list is automatically a dominator. This function should count how many elements in items are dominators, and return that count. For example, dominators of [42, 7, 12, 9, 13, 5] would be the elements 42, 13 and 5. Before starting to write code for this function, you should consult the parable of "Shlemiel the painter" and think how this seemingly silly tale from a simpler time relates to today's computational problems performed on lists, strings and other sequences. This problem will be the first of many that you will encounter during and after this course to illustrate the important principle of using only one loop to achieve in a tiny fraction of time the same end result that Shlemiel achieves with two nested loops. Your workload…
