Explanation of Solution

Main memory:

Main memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) is the volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory would be erased when the computer is turned off.

  • Main memory has a limited storage capacity so it cannot store a large amount of data.
  • The data or information stored in the main memory is directly accessed by the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Example:

Some of the examples of main memory are,

  • RAM (Random Access Memory).
  • ROM (Read Only Memory).
  • EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • Cache memory.
  • Registers.

Secondary storage:

  • Secondary storage or secondary memory is the non-volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory cannot be erased even when there is any mishap in the computer...

Why is Linux popular? What would make someone choose a Linux OS over others? What makes a server? How is a server different from a workstation? What considerations do you have to keep in mind when choosing between physical, hybrid, or virtual server and what are the reasons to choose a virtual installation over the other options?
Objective  you will: 1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)  2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector. 3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets. Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST): 1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them). 2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order. 3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.  Time Complexity Operation                                Average Case     Worst Case (Unbalanced Tree)Insertion                                     0(1log n)                0 (n)Traversal (Pre-order)                  0(n)                       0 (n)Overall Complexity                  0(n log n)                 0(n^2) (degenerated tree) Note: To improve performance, you could use a…
