Pseudo Arithmetic Sequence Program - ISC 2011 Theory

You are given a sequence of N integers, which are called as pseudo arithmetic sequences (sequences that are in arithmetic progression).

Sequence of N integers: 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12.
We observe that 2 + 12 = 5 + 9 = 6 + 8 = 14.
The sum of the above sequence can be calculated as 14 × 3 = 42.

For sequence containing an odd number of elements, the rule is to double the middle element, for example 2, 5, 7, 9, 12.
2 + 12 = 5 + 9 = 7 + 7 = 14.
14 × 3 = 42 (middle element = 7)

A class PseudoArithmetic determines whether a given sequence is a pseudo-arithmetic sequence.

The details of the class are given below:
Class name: PseudoArithmetic
Data members/instance variables:
n: to store the size of the sequence.
a[ ]: integer array to store the sequence of numbers.
ans, flag: store the status
sum: store the sum of sequence of numbers.
r: store the sum of the two numbers.

Specify the class PseudoArithmetic, giving details of the constructor, void accept(int) and boolean check(). Also define a main() function to create an object and call the member functions accordingly to enable the task.
