Pictorial Presentation:

C Exercises: Replace every element with the greatest element on its right side.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void printArray(int a[] ,int n)
{
 for(int i = 0;i < n;i++)
   printf("%d ",a[i]);
}

void replaceWithNextGreatest(int a[], int size)
{
    int maximum =  a[size-1];
    a[size-1] = 0; 
    for(int i = size-2; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        int temp = a[i];
        a[i] = maximum;
        if(maximum < temp)
            maximum = temp;
    }
 printf("After replace the modified array is: ");
 printArray(a , size);	
}

int main()
{
    int i, arr1[] = {7, 5, 8, 9, 6, 8, 5, 7, 4, 6}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr1) / sizeof(arr1[0]);	
	//------------- print original array ------------------	
	printf("The given array is :  ");
	for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
	{
	printf("%d  ", arr1[i]);
    } 
	printf("\n");
//------------------------------------------------------
    replaceWithNextGreatest(arr1, n);
    return 0;
}

Sample Output:

The given array is :  7  5  8  9  6  8  5  7  4  6  
After replace the modified array is: 9 9 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 0 

Flowchart:

Replace every element with the greatest element on its right side
