Question

Six stock prices (buying price) are stored into a 2 x 6 two-dimensional array. The user inputs the current price of each stock. This program will compare the buying price and the current price of each stock. It will print a table:

Stock   Buying Price   Current Price   Profit If Sold   

   1          12.25                 15.00                2.75

etc. After the table is displayed, print out the stock with the highest profit if sold and its position in the array[row][column]. Please provide C code for above problem. Thank you

Explanation / Answer

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
   int stocks[2][6],profits[6];
   int i,j,profit,maxProfit = -999,maxIndex; // Init maxProfit with -999, an arbitrary high negative value
   // Consider the first row is having buying prices of the six stocks
   // The second row would have the current price of the six stocks
   for(i=0;i<2;i++){
       for(j=0;j<6;j++){
           scanf("%d",&stocks[i][j]);
       }
   }
   // Let us calculate and store the profits in the array
   // We will also calculate the stock having highest profit
   for(j=0;j<6;j++){
       profit = stocks[1][j] - stocks[0][j];
       printf(" Stock: %d, Buying price: %d, Current Price: %d, Profit: %d ",j+1,stocks[0][j],stocks[1][j],profit);
       if(profit > maxProfit){
           maxProfit = profit;
           maxIndex = j;
       }
   }
   printf(" Stock %d is having the highest profit.",maxIndex+1);
   return 0;
}
