Printing Real number Problem

Given an integer say i of size 32.
Now if i mention a fixed point say 12.
We have to convert/treat above integer to a real number.

So From bit 12....31 will form integer part.
and from 0...11 will be after decimal part.

Now the problem is that we have to print this as real value
without any floating point operation and division operation.

My friend, provided this solution.

for bit 11 -> 5^1 * 10^11 = 500000000000
for bit 10 -> 5^2 * 10^10 = 250000000000
----------
--------
for bit 0 -> 5^11 * 10^0 = ...............(calculate the value)
Add all the above value and print as decimal but after a . char.

  1. void printfloat ( int number, int loc)
    {
    unsigned int mask = (1 lshift loc)-1;
    int int_part = number rshift loc;
    int i = 1;
    unsigned int value = 0;
    while ( loc-- )
    {
    if ( number & (1 lshift loc))
    {
    value += pow(5,i)*pow(10,loc);
    }
    i++;
    }
    printf("So the number is %u.%u\n",int_part,value);
    }

Car Parking Problem

There is n parking slots and n-1 car already parked. Lets say car parked with initial arrangement and we want to make the car to be parked to some other arrangement. Lets say n = 5, inital = free, 3, 4, 1, 2 desired = 1, free, 2, 4 ,3 Give an algorithm with minimum steps needed to get desired arrangement. Told by one of my friend and after a lot of search i really got a nice solution. I will post solution in comment part

Median of Five Numbers

U have 5 NOs , X1,X2,X3,X4,X5 With minimum no. of comparisons we have to find a median. SWAP(X,Y) function is available to u . I have a answer of six comparisons and eight swaps....wait for people to find out by themselves.

Merge two sorted array inplace

Given an integer array of which both first half and second half are sorted. Write a function to merge the two parts to create one single sorted array in place [do not use any extra space]. e.g. If input array is [1,3,6,8,-5,-2,3,8] It should be converted to: [-5,-2,1,3,3,6,8,8]
