Question

The idea here is a program that uses a sentinel loop and some comparison inside the loop for some simple number processing. You are to create a program that has this interaction - it uses all integer values: Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 18 5 Ordered these numbers are 5 18 The median is 12. Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 26 29 Ordered these numbers are 26 29 The median is 28. Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 0 489 Ordered these numbers are 0 489 The median is 245. Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 65 0 Ordered these numbers are 0 65 The median is 33. Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 0 -47 Ordered these numbers are -47 0 The median is -22. Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: 0 0 You had 5 pairs of numbers. The overall range of your numbers was 536.

Explanation / Answer

//median of 0 and -47 should be -23

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int a,b,diff,temp,median,pairs=0;
int min=1<<30,max=-min;

while(1)
{
printf("Enter your two numbers or 0 0 to quit: ");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

if(a==0&&b==0)
{
    printf("You had %d pairs of numbers ", pairs);
    printf("The overall range of your number was %d ", max-min);
    return 1;
}
else
{
    pairs++;
    if(a>b)
      {
        temp = a;
        a = b;
        b = temp;
      }

if(a<min)
        min = a;
    if(b>max)
        max = b;
    printf("Ordered these numbers are %d %d", a, b);
    diff = b-a;
    if(diff%2==1)
        median = a + diff/2 + 1;
    else
        median = a + diff/2;
         printf(" The median is %d ", median);
}
}


return 1;
}
