(a) Let A be an m Xn matrix that is to be stored (in a contiguous manner) in a one-dimensional array of r entries. Find a formula for the access function if an is to be stored in location k ( > 1) of the array [as opposed to location 1 as in Example 5.10(d)] and we use (i) the row major implementation; (ii) the column major implementation.
(b) State any conditions involving m, n, r, and k that must be satisfied in order for the results in part (a) to be valid.
