Programming Assignment Answers:-

Q1. Write a program which takes the following as input: an integer N, an integer A, a sequence of N words which should be names of countries, a sequence of A words each of which is an attribute of a country (e.g. population, area, GDP), followed by a sequence of N*A real numbers (use double) where the iA+j th number gives the value of the jth attribute of the ith country, where 0<=j<A, 0<=i<N, followed by a sequence of pairs of words. The first word in each pair must be the name of a country, and the second an attribute. The program must then print the respective attribute of the respective country (e.g. population of India, GDP of China).

Code:-

#include<vector>
int main()
{
    int n, m;
    cin >> n >> m;
    vector<string> v;
    vector<string> a;
    vector<double> b;
    vector<string> c;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        string s;
        cin >> s;
        v.push_back(s);
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++)
    {
        string s;
        cin >> s;
        a.push_back(s);
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < n * m; i++)
    {
        double t;
        cin >> t;
        b.push_back(t);
    }

    {
        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
        {
            if (c[i] == v[j])
                A[++e] = j * m;
        }

        for (int k = 0; k < m; k++)
        {
            if (c[i] == a[k])
                B[p++] = k + A[e];

    return 0;
}

Q2. You are to write a function makeT that takes as input a set S of integers, and a target value T, and determines if any subset of the numbers in Sadds up to T. The function should be a modification of the function given in the quiz for printing all subsets of a set. The function should have thefollowing signature:

Code:-

bool makeT(int S[], bool selected[], int i, int n, int T)
{

    bool set[n + 1][T + 1];

    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)
        set[i][0] = true;

    for (int i = 1; i <= T; i++)
        set[0][i] = false;

    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 1; j <= T; j++)
        {
            if (j < S[i - 1])
                set[i][j] = set[i - 1][j];
            if (j >= S[i - 1])
                set[i][j] = set[i - 1][j] || set[i - 1][j - S[i - 1]];
        }
    }

    return set[n][T];
}
