Explanation of Solution

Computer based system and system failure:

Computer based system is a system which consists of all components necessary to capture, process, transfer, store, display, and manage information.

Computer based system is likely to be installed in an environment where other electrical and electronics system and computer based systems are likely to be present.

The environment in which computer based system is installed may have unanticipated effects on system that may lead to system failure because of the following reasons:

  • The computer based system cannot work in isolation and it will have some communication and data exchange links with other computer based system present in the same environment...

4. Suppose we have a perfect binary tree with height h 0 representing a heap, meaning it = has n 2+1 1 keys indexed from 1 to 2+1 1. When we run convertomaxheap we run maxheapify in reverse order on every key with children. Let's examine the worst-case - In the worst-case every single key gets swapped all the way to the leaf level. (a) For each level in the tree there are a certain number of nodes and each of those nodes [10 pts] requires a certain number of swaps. Fill in the appropriate values/expressions in the table: Level Number of Keys Number of Swaps per Key 0 2 .. (b) Write down a sum for the total number of swaps required. This should involve h, not n. [10 pts] Total
The next problem concerns the following C code: /copy input string x to buf */ void foo (char *x) { char buf [8]; strcpy((char *) buf, x); } void callfoo() { } foo("ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA"); Here is the corresponding machine code on a Linux/x86 machine: 0000000000400530 : 400530: 48 83 ec 18 sub $0x18,%rsp 400534: 48 89 fe mov %rdi, %rsi 400537: 48 89 e7 mov %rsp,%rdi 40053a: e8 di fe ff ff callq 400410 40053f: 48 83 c4 18 add $0x18,%rsp 400543: c3 retq 400544: 0000000000400544 : 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp 400548: bf 00 06 40 00 mov $0x400600,%edi 40054d: e8 de ff ff ff callq 400530 400552: 48 83 c4 08 add $0x8,%rsp 400556: c3 This problem tests your understanding of the program stack. Here are some notes to help you work the problem: ⚫ strcpy(char *dst, char *src) copies the string at address src (including the terminating '\0' character) to address dst. It does not check the size of the destination buffer. • You will need to know the hex values of the following characters:
1234 3. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 1234 Suggested solution: Store strlen(str) in a variable before the if statement. ⚫ Remove the if statement. Replace index 0 && index < strlen(str)) { 5 } } = str [index] = val;
