Question

Write an algorithm which has a pre-populated array an array_input of array type and separates it, every other character, into two separate arrays called array1 and array2.

Answer 1

Algorithm:

1. Populate a list with characters. Suppose a=['a','b','c','d','e','f']. Now we need to split this list into two consecutive lists.
2. So, we will capture the length of the array or list.
3. After getting the length of the array we will assign each array with the number of elements that are present in the first array. Say, if an array consists of 6 elements than we will fun a for( x =1; x<=6;x++) then add array1[x] = array_input[x].
4. Similarly, we will repeat the third step again so that array2[x] = array_input[x].
5. Once all the elements are added then we can print out the array with the help of a for loop and then display them on the screen.

Hence, this is the algorithm for the above program.

Solution:

I would like to make a python program for it for just the example as we can easily write the same code in any language applicable. Please find the code below:

main.py

def split_array(array_input):

lnt= len(array_input)

array1 = array_input[0:lnt]

array2 = array_input[0:lnt]

return array1,array2

array_input = ['a','b','c','d','e','f']

array1, array2 = split_array(array_input)

print(array1)

print(array2)
