Explain the difference between an array and a linked list data structure. Discuss their advantages and disadvantages in terms of insertion, deletion, and access operations.

When compared to alternative data structures, such as a linked list or an array, the advantages of a binary search tree are clear.

When compared to alternative data structures like a linked list or an array, how are binary search trees better?

Objective  Define a circular buffer data structure and test it. Problem Description: A circular buffer (also called a circular queue) is circular list of nodes where data items are added on one end of the buffer and removed from the other end. Because the nodes form a circular list, the list has no end or beginning: the tail node points to the head node, creating a ring of nodes.   You may think of the nodes as containers or slots that are all initially empty but can be assigned a value in their data field info.   Every time a new data item is inserted (inserting to a buffer is often referred as Writing), one slot is filled and the buffer has one less empty slot. Every time a data item is removed (referred to as Reading), the buffer has one more empty slot.  Since the list has no beginning and no end, a pointer (writeIndex) is used to mark the next empty slot to write to and a second pointer (readIndex) is used to mark the next node to read from.  The readIndex/writeIndex must be…

Compare and contrast the different types of linked lists, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages in terms of memory usage and operations like insertion and deletion.

Lists and Strings are considered sequences and as such they share many of the same operations (like, indexing, and slicing). Explain how lists and strings can be used together when processing text data, and describe the solution of one of the problems from the assignment that illustrate their use.

List, BST (binary search trees), and AVL all have different search time difficulties; describe how they accomplish their performance.
