Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ

Explanation of Solution

Explanation of the given statement:

The given statement is “A transaction is a logical unit of work”. The statement describes the meaning of transaction in single statement. A transaction is a sequence of process that must be entirely completed or aborted. Intermediate states are not acceptable in the process of transaction.

  • In DBMS, transaction act as a unit of logical related commands in which all the steps must be fully completed. If any of the SQL (Structured Query Language) command fails, the entire transaction is rolled back to the original database.
  • If the transaction is acceptable by the DBMS (Database Management Systems), the transaction changes the database from one consistent state to another. To avoid inconsistent state, the DBMS must accept all database operations of the transaction are completed before the database committed.
  • Consider the below example:
    • The database “sales” requires a minimum of two database operations. One is creation of product and another one is payment.
    • If the first operation is completed, the database will be left in an inconsistent state and the entire database is canceled. The transaction is accepted when all two operations are completed in the database.

Suppose that the MinGap method below is added to the Treap class on Blackboard. public int MinGap ( ) Returns the absolute difference between the two closest numbers in the treap. For example, if the numbers are {2, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15, 20} then MinGap would returns 1, the absolute difference between 11 and 12. Requirements 1. Describe in a separate Design Document what additional data is needed and how that data is used to support an time complexity of O(1) for the MinGap method. Show as well that the methods Add and Remove can efficiently maintain this data as items are added and removed. (6 marks) 2. Re-implement the methods Add and Remove of the Treap class to maintain the augmented data in expected O(log n) time. (6 marks) 3. Implement the MinGap method. (4 marks) 4. Test your new method thoroughly. Include your test cases and results in a Test Document. (4 marks)
Suppose that the two Rank methods below are added to the Skip List class on Blackboard. public int Rank (T item) Returns the rank of the given item. public T Rank(int i) Returns the item with the given rank i. Requirements 1. Describe in a separate Design Document what additional data is needed and how that data is used to support an expected time complexity of O(log n) for each of the Rank methods. Show as well that the methods Insert and Remove can efficiently maintain this data as items are inserted and removed. (7 marks) 2. Re-implement the methods Insert and Remove of the Skip List class to maintain the augmented data in expected O(log n) time. Using the Contains method, ensure that added items are distinct. (6 marks) 3. Implement the two Rank methods. (8 marks) 4. Test your new methods thoroughly. Include your test cases and results in a Test Document. (4 marks)
