Employees whose salary is between 20000 and 40000 falls under Grade C
Employees whose salary is less than 20000 falls under Grade D.
5. Rule for a special kind of the addition and multiplication are defined as follows: 5

i) multiplication and addition works digit by digit

ii) multiplication is done by taking the smaller of the two digits.
 iii) Addition is done by taking the larger of the two digits

entered by the user.
5
Write a program to find two elements in the array such that difference between them is largest.
6.
Accept the integer array from the user.
7. Write a function called findString to determine if one character string exists inside another 5
string. The first argument to the function should be the character string that is to be searched
and the second argument is the string you are interested in finding. If the function finds the
specified string, have it return the location in the source string where the string was found. If
the function does not find the string, have it return –1.
For example:
For function, findString ("a chatterbox", "hat")
It searches the string "a chatterbox" for the string "hat".
Because "hat" does exist inside the source string, the function returns
Location= 3 to indicate the starting position inside the source string where "hat" was found.
Note: You are not allowed to use inbuilt string library functions
8. A student record system can be implemented as an array of structures, where each element of 7
the array represents a student record. Each student record has fields roll-number & first-name.
For example,
R011 Amit
R045 Shubham
R089 Laxmi
…
where “R011”is roll number and “Amit” is student name(Assume range of roll numbers
from R001 to R100).
Write a function that takes two different sorted arrays of student records as input (records
are sorted according to roll numbers). Two student records are assumed to be same if roll
number & first-name are exactly same. Note that the same student record may be present
in both arrays. The function should create a third array and MERGE all records from the
two INPUT SORTED arrays in sorted manner so that there are no repetitions of records in
third array. You can freely use any library functions.
