Question No: 20 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Suppose you implement a Min heap (with the smallest element on top) in an array. Consider the different arrays below; determine the one that cannot possibly be a heap:
► 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 28, 30
► 16, 20, 18, 24, 22, 30, 28
► 16, 24, 18, 28, 30, 20, 22
► 16, 24, 20, 30, 28, 18, 22
Question No: 21 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Do you see any problem in the code of nextInOrder below:
TreeNode * nextInorder(TreeNode * p)
{
if(p->RTH == thread)
return( p->R );
else {
p = p->R;
while(p->LTH == child)
p = p->R;
return p;
}
}
► The function has no problem and will fulfill the purpose successfully.
► The function cannot be compile as it has syntax error.
► The function has logical problem, therefore, it will not work properly.
► The function will be compiled but will throw runtime exception immediately after the control is transferred to this function.
Question No: 22 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Which of the following statement is correct about find(x) operation:
► A find(x) on element x is performed by returning exactly the same node that is found.
► A find(x) on element x is performed by returning the root of the tree containing x.
► A find(x) on element x is performed by returning the whole tree itself containing x.
► A find(x) on element x is performed by returning TRUE.
Question No: 23 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
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.
