Explanation of Solution

Database Connectivity and uses:

  • Database connectivity includes the application programs used for communicating with storage device like database repository.
  • It has the information of both software application and hardware database and thereby, it is also known as database middleware.
  • The data repository which is a data management application is used for storing the applications, data and information required.
  • The data repository can be located anywhere in the database in the form of relational database, hierarchical database, spreadsheet or text.
  • It has the ability of creating database structures on storage requirements.
  • It has complex structures which can be accessed by multi-users.
  • It stores the data definitions and Metadata in a directory or dictionary and the changes made to that definitions and Metadata will be automatically updated in directory or dictionary.
  • It has the ability of performing data backup and recovery which assures the data safety.
  • It represents the usability of data and the data is affected only in allowed ways during the database transaction.
  • Data independence is the ability of accessing the programs which are independent of storage characteristics of data.
  • In multiprogramming, the users are allowed to complete the tasks simultaneously without effecting the other transactions.

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)
