► List Sh contains only the n special keys.
CS301 Question No: 9 ( M a r k s: 1 )
A simple sorting algorithm like selection sort or bubble sort has a worst-case of
► O(1) time because all lists take the same amount of time to sort
► O(n) time because it has to perform n swaps to order the list.
► O(n2) time because sorting 1 element takes O(n) time - After 1 pass through the list,
either of these algorithms can guarantee that 1 element is sorted.
► O(n3) time, because the worst case has really random input which takes longer to
sort.

CS301 Question No: 16 ( M a r k s: 1 )
Which of the following statement is NOT correct about find operation:
► It
is not a requirement that a find operation returns any specific name,
just that finds on two elements return the same answer if and only if
they are in the same set.
► One
idea might be to use a tree to represent each set, since each element
in a tree has the same root, thus the root can be used to name the set.
► Initially each set contains one element.
► Initially each set contains one element and it does not make sense to make a tree of one node only.

CS301 Question No: 27 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Give the difference between strict and complete binary tree.
Ans:
A tree is a strictly binary tree if its each leaf node has non-empty left and right sub trees, and
If there are left and right sub-trees for each node in a binary tree is known as complete binary tree.
CS301 Question No: 28 ( M a r k s: 2 )
A complete binary tree can be stored in an array. While storing the tree in an array
we leave the first position (0th index )of the array empty. Why?
Ans
Because we need a pointer in an array to point a position of node of tree. parent
node and the children nodes. In case of having a node with left
and right children, stored at position i in the array, the left 2i and
the right child will be at 2i+1 position. If the value of i 2, the
parent will be at position 2 and the left child will be at position 2i
i.e. 4 .The right child will be at position 2i+1 i.e. 5. we have not
started the 0th position. It is simply due to the fact if the position is 0, 2i will also
become 0. So we will start from the 1st position, ignoring the 0th.
CS301 Question No: 29 ( M a r k s: 2 )
Give the name of two Divide and Conquer algorithms.
Ans:
-
Merge sort
-
Quick sort

Heap sort

Give the effect of sorted data on Binary Search.
CS301 Question No: 31 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Give any three characteristics of Union by Weight method.
Ans:
1. This is also calles union by size.
-
Maintain sizes (number of nodes) of all trees, and during union.
-
Make smaller tree, the subtree of the larger one.
-
for each root node i, instead of setting parent[i] to -1, set it
to -k if tree rooted at i has k nodes.
CS301 Question No: 32 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Here is an array of ten integers:
5 3 8 9 1 7 0 2 6 4
Draw
this array after the FIRST iteration of the large loop in an insertion
sort (sorting from smallest to largest). This iteration has shifted at
least one item in the array!
CS301 Question No: 33 ( M a r k s: 3 )
Give
your comment on the statement that heap uses least memory in array
representation of binary trees. Justify your answer in either case.

CS301 Question No: 35 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Explain the following terms:
1. Collision
2. Linear Probing
3. Quadratic Probing
Ans:
Collision:
it takes place when two or more keys (data items) produce the same index.
Linear Probing
when
there is a collision, some other location in the array is found. This
is known as linear probing. In linear probing, at the time of
collisions, we add one to the index and check that location. If it is
also not empty, we add 2 and check that position. Suppose we keep on
incrementing the array index and reach at the end of the table. We were
unable to find the space and reached the last location of the array.
Quadratic Probing
In the quadratic probing when a collision happens we try to find the empty location at
index + 12. If it is filled then we add 22 and so on.
Quadratic probing uses different formula:
-
Use F(i) = i2 (square of i) to resolve collisions
-
If hash function resolves to H and a search in cell H is inconclusive, try
H + 12, H + 22, H + 32
CS301 Question No: 36 ( M a r k s: 5 )
Here is an array with exactly 15 elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15.
Suppose
that we are doing a binary search for an element. Indicate any elements
that will be found by examining two or fewer numbers from the array.
