Parallel Arrays

closed account (SwqGNwbp)
I need a program as below:
we have a data array like: {1000, 3000, 5000, 3000, 8888}
and an index array like: {2, 0, 2, 3, 3, 0}
we want the function to set the elements of result array to count from index array and read from data array and create the result with the numbers of index elements.(in this case result is : {5000, 1000, 5000, 3000, 3000, 1000}

Any body can do this favor to me please!

# include <iostream>
using std::endl;
using std::cout;

int main()
{
    int arrayData[] = {1000, 3000, 5000, 3000, 8888};
    int arrayIndex[] = {2, 0, 2, 3, 3, 0};

    for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
        cout << arrayData[arrayIndex[i]] << ", ";
    cout << endl;

    return 0;
}

Thanks, great! how we can write it as a function with this prototype:

void f( unsigned result[], const unsigned data[], unsigned dataElements,
        unsigned index[], unsigned indexElements )

Are you sure you need these tow parameters unsigned result[] and unsigned dataElements

coz only 3 are needed

    unsigned arrayData[] = {1000, 3000, 5000, 3000, 8888};
    unsigned arrayIndex[] = {2, 0, 2, 3, 3, 0};

    f(arrayData,arrayIndex,6);

    return 0;

Actually I need it with all parameters. The complete description is:

void f( unsigned result[], const unsigned data[], unsigned dataElements,
const unsigned index[], unsigned indexElements )
f’s job is to set the elements of result to the correct values. No I/O. data has dataElements elements, index has indexElements elements, and result has indexElements elements, because it is parallel to the index array. Each element of index must be in the range [0, dataElements), or f will complain and die (by calling your die function). The i’th element of result is copied from whichever element of data has a subscript that is equal to the i’th element of indexElements.
For instance, if data were {1000, 3000, 5000, 3000, 8888} and index were {2, 0, 2, 3, 3, 0}, then result would be set to {5000, 1000, 5000, 3000, 3000, 1000}.

It would be polite to give the complete description up front. Not afterwards.

It should be easy to adapt Techno01's version.
He writes to std::cout, you want to write to result.
The purpose of dataElements is clear too: for range check of index[i].

If you want to figure this out on your own and learn it, don't read this below. Otherwise here you are.

void f( unsigned result[], const unsigned data[], unsigned dataElements, 
        unsigned index[], unsigned indexElements )
{
    for (int i = 0; i < indexElements; ++i)
    {
        if (index[i] >= 0 && index[i] < dataElements)
            result[i] = data[ index[i] ];
        else
            die();
    }
}

For bonus points, when does this evaluate true:
( x < 0 ) // where x is unsigned integer

what should be written in the main program to call this function?
