The company is organised in a flat structure and produces the same volume of product as company A. 

Company C 

This is a relatively young start-up company owned by three friends and selected by NAMC to collaborate on a new project. Company C’s management has decided to reorganise the research and development, design and manufacturing sections so that the business operates in a matrix structure. 

Middle managers

Identify three engineering companies which operate respectively in each of the three sectors (Primary, secondary and tertiary). You could consider companies which send apprentices to the college where you are studying or you could find companies from the internet or other information sources

b) Describe the engineering functions carried out by each company in their particular sector     (P1) 

The manager of company has asked his assistant to present him with the list the ages of all the workers working in manufacturing division who are having the experience of 20 years. The assistant of thee manager replied him with the list of 10 employees who are having the experience of 20 years. Write a program that store the age of all 15 employees in 1D array and then print the total count of employees whose age lies between 50 and 60. Use functions to solve this task

Input Format ->57 49 54 48 59 55 46 57 58 60 58 62 56 70 73

Constraints ->The Age of the employees should be greater than or equal to 40 and less than or equal to 60. If constraints do not match then show "wrong input" Output Format
