Automata Fix:

Q1. You are required to complete the given code. You can click on Compile & Run anytime
to check the compilation/ execution status of the program. You can use cout to debug your
code. The submitted code should be logically/ syntactically correct and pass all test cases.
Do not write the main() function as it is not required. 

Code Approach: For this question, you will need to complete the code as in the given
implementation. We do not expect you to modify the approach.

The function/ method median accepts two arguments - size and inputList, an integer

representing the length of a list and a list of integers, respectively.

The function/method median is supposed to calculate and return an integer representing

the median of elements in the input list. However, the function/method median works
only for odd-length lists because of incomplete code.

You must complete the code to make it work for even-length lists as well. A couple of other
functions/ methods are available, which you are supposed to use inside the
function/method median to complete the code.

Helper Description
The following function is used to represent a quick_select and is already implemented in
the default code (Do not write this definition again in your code):

int quick_select(int* inputList, int start_index, int end_index, int median_order)

{
/*It calculates the median value
This can be called as 
quick_select(inputList, start_index, end_index, median_order)
where median_order is the half length of the inputList
}

Answer: 

Q2. You are required to fix all logical errors in the given code. You can click on Compile &
Run anytime to check the compilation/ execution status of the program. You can use cout
to debug your code. The submitted code should be logically/ syntactically correct and pass
all test cases. Do not write the main() function as it is not required. 

Code Approach: For this question, you will need to correct the given implementation.
We do not expect you to modify the approach or incorporate any additional library
methods.

The function/method drawPrintPattern accepts num, an integer.

The function/method drawPrintPattern prints the first num lines of the pattern shown
below.

For example, if num = 3, the pattern should be:

11
1111
111111
The function/method drawPrintPattern compiles successfully but fails to get the desired
result for some test cases due to incorrect implementation of the function/method. Your
task is to fix the code so that it passes all the test cases.
