A Little Help
Hey Everybody I am a student at a University in St. Louis and was woundering if someone coudl take a look at this program and tell me what is wrong. The program ask you to enter a number which becomes the size of the array. You then enter that many numbers. The program sorts and averages the numbers and is suppossed to find the median number. It all works except the median function. I have pasted a copy of my program if someone has some advise would really appreciate it. Thanks
Chris
#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
float sortarray(float array[], int elems); //Decleares sort function
float median(float *a, int count); //Declares Median Function

float *test; //Holds amount of each test scores (array)
int scores; //Holds number of test scores

}

{
int index;
if (count == 0)
{

return index; //Returns Median Value of odd number arrays
}
else
index = count % 2;
return ((a[count - 1] + a[count])/2); //Returns Median Value of even number arrays
}
