Suppose 1,000 integer elements are generated at random and are inserted into a sorted linked list and a binary search tree (BST) separately. Considering the efficiency of searching for an element in the two structures, which of the following statements is true? The search operation on the BST takes shorter time because it is relatively balanced. None of these The search operation on the list takes longer time because the numbers are not sorted. The search operation on the BST longer time because the numbers are not sorted. The search operation will take the same time in both structures.

Suppose there are two singly linked lists both of which intersect at some point and become a single linked list. The head or start pointers of both the lists are known, but the intersecting node is unknown. Also, the number of nodes in each of the list before they intersect are unknown and both the list may have it different. List1 may have n nodes before it reaches intersection point and List2 might have m nodes before it reaches intersection point where m and n may be m = n, m > n or m < n. Give an algorithm for finding the merging point. Hints: A brute force approach would be to compare every pointer in one list with every pointer in another list. But in this case the complexity would be O(mn)
Both array lists and linked lists are examples of how a list may be implemented. Discuss a scenario when a linked list might be preferable than a list stored in an array. Explain your reasoning in each situation.
I need a reference page for this question that was answered below. What is the difference between a singly-linked list and a doubly-linked list? In what situation would you use a singly-linked list over a doubly-linked list? In what situation would you use a doubly-linked list over a singly-linked list? If a node is in a linked list with N nodes, how many nodes will be traversed during a search for the node? Explain the best- and worst-case search scenarios. Explain why a singly-linked list defines a RemoveAfter() function, while a doubly-linked list defines a Remove() function. Could a RemoveAfter() function also be defined for a doubly-linked list? Explain why or why not. Could a Remove() function also be defined for a singly-linked list? Explain why or why not.
What are the requirements for determining if a linked list T is empty if T is one of the following: (i) a simple singly linked list, (ii) a headed singly linked list, (iii) a simple circularly linked list, or (iv) a headed circularly linked list?
Let us talk about single linked lists. Let us say that each node for this one would have public members which is elem and next..a. create a linked list with 4 nodes with 3 5 4 1. create the header references for this one. b. creaate the code that will insert da first nodec. what would be the process in deleting the end node? d. print the list
Consider a singly linked list where each node contains two fields – integerdata and node type pointer next. The head of the list and a value of the data isgiven. You have to find the node that contains the given data and delete thatnode. Data may occur at any position of the list including first or last. In caseof unavailability of the given data, you have to print a message. You have toImplement a delete operation of a singly linked list.
using c++ concepts of data structure Make a doubly linked list, take n inputs. Print it.Now, swap any two nodes (picked by the user), and print the list again. The node will be pickedon the basis of their value.Note: You have to swap the Node, by managing the links between them. NOT JUST THEVALUE INSDE THEM.
In this question, you are to implement two functions for reversing linked lists. One function, reverse_iter(..), must use an iterative approach (i.e., loops), whereas the other function, reverse_rec(..), must use recursion instead. We have already implemented the linked list as well as all its helper-functions in the Ilist-module.
Implement the three self-organizing list heuristics: Count – Whenever a record is accessed it may move toward the front of the list if its number of accesses becomes greater than the record(s) in front of it. Move-to-front – Whenever a record is accessed it is moved to the front of the list. This heuristic only works well with linked-lists; because, in arrays the cost of shifting all the records down one spot every time you move a record to the front is too expensive. Transpose – whenever the record is accessed swap it with the record immediately in front of it. Compare the cost of each heuristic by keeping track of the number of compares required when searching the list. Additional Instructions Use the SelfOrderedListADT abstract data type and the linked-list files I have provided to implement your self-ordered lists. You may incorporate the author’s linked list implementation via inheritance or composition, which ever makes the most sense to you (I will not evaluate that aspect of…
Given a singly linked list, print reverse of it using a recursive function printLinkedList( node *first ) where first is the pointer pointing to the first data node. For example, if the given linked list is 1->2->3->4, then output should be: 4 3 2 1 (note the whitespace in between each data value)
Question Given a singly linked list, you need to do two tasks. Swap the first node with the last node. Then count the number of nodes and if the number of nodes is an odd number then delete the first node, otherwise delete the last node of the linked list. For example, if the given linked list is 1->2->3->4->5 then the linked list should be modified to 2->3->4->1. Because 1 and 5 will be swapped and 5 will be deleted as the number of nodes in this linked list is 5 which is an odd number, that means the first node which contains 5 has been deleted. If the input linked list is NULL, then it should remain NULL. If the input linked list has 1 node, then this node should be deleted and a new head should be returned. Sample 1: Input: NULL output: NULL. Sample 2: Input: 1 output: NULL Sample 3: Input: 1->2 output: 2 Sample 4: Input: 1->2->3 output: 2->1 Sample 5: Input: 1->2->3->4 _output: 4->2->3 Sample 6: Input: 1->2->3->4->5->6 output: 6->2->3->4->5. Input: The function takes one argument…
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.
