14. Write a C structure which represents the details of the inventory of items in a store. The program accepts the value of item name, item code, price, and quantity & manufacture date. The date field is to have three fields, date, month and year. The program displays all fields for N items and also calculates the total quantity of the items available. A separate function may be used for the display.

sum of elements above the diagonal (i.e) elements A [i,j] where I<J
product of the diagonal elements
22. Suppose A is a linear array with N numeric values. Write a Procedure MEAN (A, N, AVE) which find the average of the values in A.
23. Each student in a class of 30 students takes 3 tests in which scores range between 0 and 50. Suppose the test scores are stored in a 30 * 3 array TEST.W rite a module which Finds the average grade of each test. Finds the average grade of each student where the average grade is the average of the student’s best two scores.
24. Explain the array representation of stack. Write procedures for PUSH and POP of an element from the stack.
25. What is a priority queue? Explain the two-dimensional array representation of the priority queue with an example.
26. Consider each of the following reverse polish notations of arithmetic expressions.
