4. Consider using a simple linked list as a dictionary. Assume the client will never provide duplicate elements, so we can just insert elements at the beginning of the list. Now assume the peculiar situation that the client may perform any number of insert operations but will only ever perform at most one lookup operation. (a) What is the worst-case running-time of the operations performed on this data structure under the assumptions above? Briefly justify your answer. (b) What is the worst-case amortized running-time of the operations performed on this data structure under the assumptions above? Briefly justify your answer. Solution: (a) inserts are O(1) (push on the front of a linked list), but the lookup is O(n) where n is the number of inserted items since the lookup may be last and be for one of the earliest inserted items

The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields of endeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to develop a system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the following methodsalities.a) You are to define a class named NobelAward. Your class must have two methodss, one of the methodss should be named AwardCategory, and the other methods should be named AwardWinner.
