Question
- Present an
algorithm (in outline form) for inserting an element into a sorted linked list so that the list is always in sorted order. Do not utilize a sorting routine, but rather devise an insert (add) algorithm that will search the list and insert the new element in the proper place in the list so that the list is always in order. Assume that the objects involved all properly override both the equals (==) and the compareTo (>, <, >=, and <=) methods. The list is to be maintained in ascending order. Assume that the add method has the following signature.
public void Add(E element)

- One of the linked list variants we saw was a singly-linked list with head and tail pointers. Let's consider where this variant fell short and whether there are other ways to improve it besides what we saw. Why isn't the presence of a tail pointer enough to allow us to remove the last node in the list in Θ(1) time? Suppose that we added a third list-level pointer (i.e., outside of the nodes) called beforeTail, which always pointed to the second-to-last node in the list. Would we now be able to remove the last node in the list in Θ(1) time?arrow_forwardPlease explain in as much detail as possible. Within one paragraph. It’s possible to ensure that an insertion sort implementation runs in linear time on a list that’s already sorted. How?arrow_forwardArray lists and linked lists are both examples of how lists may be implemented. Justify the use of a linked list instead of an array list. Defend your behavior in each instance.arrow_forward
- data structurearrow_forwardConsider the following multiplication problem: Given an integer list (an array) of size n, we want to calculate the product of all numbers in the list and display the result. (a) Define an instance of a problem in general. (b) Specify two different instances of the multiplication problem defined above. (c) What is the solution for each instance in part (b). How did you come up with that solution?arrow_forwardThe map-reduce framework is quite useful for creating inverted indices on a setof documents. An inverted index stores for each word a list of all documentIDs that it appears in (offsets in the documents are also normally stored, butwe shall ignore them in this question).For example, if the input document IDs and contents are as follows:1: data clean2: data base3: clean basethen the inverted lists woulddata: 1, 2clean: 1, 3base: 2, 3Give pseudocode for map and reduce functions to create inverted indices on agiven set of files (each file is a document).Assume the document IDis availableusing a function context.getDocumentID(), and the map function is invokedonce per line of the document. The output inverted list for each word should bea list of document IDs separated by commas. The document IDs are normallysorted, but for the purpose of this question you do not need to bother to sortthem.arrow_forward
- Assume that the nodes of the singly linked lists are arranged in decreasing order of the exponents of the variable x in order to add the two polynomials.The objective is to create a fresh list of nodes that represents the addition of P1 and P2. This is done by adding the COEFF fields of nodes in lists P1 and P2 that have identical powers of variable x, and then making a new node in the resulting list P1 + P2. The key part of the technique is shown below.The start pointers of the singly linked lists that correspond to the polynomials P1 and P2 are P1 and P2, respectively. Two temporary pointers, PTR1 and PTR2, are created with starting values of P1 and P2, respectively. Make procedural code.arrow_forwardWhat is the benefit of having a link-based implementation of the List that also tracks a reference to the last Node in the chain? Select one: a. It requires more pointes to be adjusted when performing the basic List operations b. It makes adding a new entry to a specified position an O(1) operation c. It makes the remove operation an O(1) operation d. It makes adding a new entry to the back of the List an O(1) operationarrow_forwardA singly linked list contains n - 1 strings that are binary representations of numbers from the set {0, 1,.…, n – 1} where n is an exact power of 2. However, the string corresponding to one of the numbers is missing. For example, if n = 4, the list will contain any three strings from 00, 01,10 and 11. Note that the strings in the list may not appear in any specific order. Also note that the length of each string is lgn, hence the time to compare two strings in O(lgn). Write an algorithm that generates the missing string in O(n).arrow_forward
- there are similar questions please come up with an original answer because the questions are slighty different, thank you.arrow_forwardGiven a singly linked list L, where x and y are two data elements that occupy the nodes NODEX and NODEY with PREVIOUSX as the node, which is the previous node of NODEX, write a pseudo-code to swap the date x and y in list L by manipulating the links only (data swapping is not allowed). Assume that x and y are available in the list and are neither neighbors nor the end nodes of list L. For example, given the list L shown in Figure P6.10(a), with L, NODEX, NODEY and PREVIOUSX marked on it, the swapping should yield the list shown in Figure P6.10(b). NODEX and NODEY are neither immediate neighbors nor the end nodes of list L.
