Program Description Answer

The algorithm that processes the array sequentially to compare all the items with the search value referred as “sequential search”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “A”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Sequential search:

  • Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching the particular element in the array one by one until it founds out the searching element.
  • Here, it uses the loop iteration to start from the beginning of the array to the last element until it finds out the searching element.
  • This searching process continues until the end of the last element until the searching element found from the array.
  • If the searching element is not present in the array, then the search process returns the message according to unsuccessful search.

Explanation for incorrect options:

b. Binary search

This is the process that uses divide and conquer strategy to find the specific element of an array. The searching process starts from middle element of the array. If the searching element is less than the middle element then it eliminates the second half of the array and it continues searching with the first half of the array.

Hence, option “B” is wrong.

c. Natural order search

Searching the value from the naturally ordered sequence is referred as natural order search. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.

Hence, option “C” is wrong.

d. Selection search

This is the algorithm which initially sorts the array by finding the minimum element from unsorted array and it is placed at the beginning. From this sorted array, the search process is continued to search the element. So, this directly finds out the element without comparing all the elements from the array.

Hence, option “D” is wrong.

Objective: 1. Implement a custom Vector class in C++ that manages dynamic memory efficiently. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the Big Five by managing deep copies, move semantics, and resource cleanup. 3. Explore the performance trade-offs between heap and stack allocation. Task Description: Part 1: Custom Vector Implementation 1. Create a Vector class that manages a dynamically allocated array. 。 Member Variables: ° T✶ data; // Dynamically allocated array for storage. std::size_t size; // Number of elements currently in the vector. std::size_t capacity; // Maximum number of elements before reallocation is required. 2. Implement the following core member functions: Default Constructor: Initialize an empty vector with no allocated storage. 。 Destructor: Free any dynamically allocated memory. 。 Copy Constructor: Perform a deep copy of the data array. 。 Copy Assignment Operator: Free existing resources and perform a deep copy. Move Constructor: Transfer ownership of the data array…
2.68♦♦ Write code for a function with the following prototype: * Mask with least signficant n bits set to 1 * Examples: n = 6 -> 0x3F, n = 17-> 0x1FFFF * Assume 1 <= n <= w int lower_one_mask (int n); Your function should follow the bit-level integer coding rules Be careful of the case n = W.
Hi-Volt Components You are the IT manager at Hi-Voltage Components, a medium-sized firm that makes specialized circuit boards. Hi-Voltage's largest customer, Green Industries, recently installed a computerized purchasing sys- tem. If Hi-Voltage connects to the purchasing system, Green Industries will be able to submit purchase orders electronically. Although Hi-Voltage has a computerized accounting system, that system is not capable of handling EDI. Tasks 1. What options does Hi-Voltage have for developing a system to connect with Green Industries' pur- chasing system? 2. What terms or concepts describe the proposed computer-to-computer relationship between Hi-Voltage and Green Industries? why not? 3. Would Hi-Voltage's proposed new system be a transaction processing system? Why or 4. Before Hi-Voltage makes a final decision, should the company consider an ERP system? Why or why not?
