Find a number in a rotated sorted array.

Here is program i wrote

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void rotateArray( int *a , int size, int rotation)
{
int len = size;
if (len < rotation ) return;
int *temp = new int [rotation];
int i = 0;
int temp_index = 0;
for ( i = len-rotation; i < len;i++)
temp[temp_index++] = a[i];
for ( i = len-rotation -1;  i>=0; i--)
a[i+rotation] = a[i];
for ( i = 0; i < rotation;i++)
a[i] = temp[i];
delete temp;
}


void search( int *a, int size, int number)
{
int low = 0;
int high = size -1;
while (low <= high)
{
int mid = low+(high - low)/2;
if ( number == a[mid] )
{
cout<<"Got number @"<<mid<<endl;
return;
}
if ( a[low] < a[mid]) //Lower part sorted
{
if ( a[mid] > number && a[low] <= number )
high = mid-1;
else
low = mid+1;
}
else //Upper part sorted
{
if ( a[mid] < number && a[high] >= number )
low = mid+1;
else
high = mid-1;
}
}
cout<<"Number is not present in array"<<endl;
}

void printArray ( int *a, int size)
{
for ( int i = 0; i < size;i++)
cout <<a[i]<<" ";
cout<<endl;

}
int main()
{
int arr[] = { 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 };
int size = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
rotateArray(arr, size, 3);
printArray(arr, size);
search(arr, size, 8);
return 0;
}

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.
