9.12: Element Shifter
Write a function that accepts an int array and the array’s size as arguments. The function should create a new array that is one element larger than the argument array. The first element of the new array should be set to 0. Element 0 of the argument array should be copied to element 1 of the new array, element 1 of the argument array should be copied to element 2 of the new array, and so forth. The function should return a pointer to the new array. Demonstrate the function by using it in a main program that reads an integer N (that is not more than 50) from standard input and then reads N integers from a file named data into an array. The program then passes the array to your element shifter function, and prints the values of the new expanded and shifted array on standard output, one value per line. You may assume that the file data has at least N values.

Prompts And Output Labels. There are no prompts for the integer and no labels for the reversed array that is printed out.

Input Validation. If the integer read in from standard input exceeds 50 or is less than 0 the program terminates silently.

The Element shifter program illustrates the use of functions and arrays

  • Arrays are used to hold multiple values
  • Functions are used as subroutines of a program

The Element shifter program

The Element shifter program written in C++, where comments are used to explain each action is as follows:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//This declares the ElementShifter function

int* ElementShifter(int *arr, int size){

   //This declares the new array

   int *newArr = new int[size * 2];

//The following loop populates the new array

   for (int i = 0; i < size * 2; i++) {

       if(i == 0){

           *(newArr+i) = 0;

       }

       else if(i < size+1){

           *(newArr+i) = *(arr+i-1);

       }

       else{

           *(newArr+i) = 0;

       }

   }

//This returns a pointer to the new array

   return newArr;

}

//The main method begins here

int main(){

//This declares and gets input for N

   int N;    cin>>N;

   int myArr[N];

//If N is between 1 and 50

   if(N > 0 && N <=50){

//This populates the array

       for(int i = 0; i<N; i++){

           cin>>myArr[i];

       }

//This calls the Element shifter function

   int *ptr = ElementShifter(myArr, N);

//This prints the new array

   for (int i = 0; i < N*2; i++) {

       cout << ptr[i] << " ";

   }

   }

  return 0;

}
