Answer Posted / susie

Answer :

Garbage values.

Explanation:

Both the functions suffer from the problem of dangling
pointers. In someFun1() temp is a character array and so the
space for it is allocated in heap and is initialized with
character string “string”. This is created dynamically as
the function is called, so is also deleted dynamically on
exiting the function so the string data is not available in
the calling function main() leading to print some garbage
values. The function someFun2() also suffers from the same
problem but the problem can be easily identified in this case.

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.
