Method definition for “removeMin()”:
The method definition for “removeMin()” is given below:
/* Method definition for "removeMin()" */
String removeMin()
{
/* If the list head is null, then */
if (first == null)
//Returns null
return null;
/* Set minimum string to "first" node */
Node minimumString = first;
/* Set minimum string predecessor to list head*/
Node minimumPred = first;
/* Set reference node to next node of list head */
Node refNode = first.next;
/* Set the reference of predecessor node */
Node refPred = first;
/* If the reference node "refNode" is not "null", then */
while (refNode != null)
{
/* Check condition */
if (refNode.value.compareTo(minimumString.value) < 0)
{
/* Assign minimum string to "refNode" */
minimumString = refNode;
/* Set minimum predecessor to reference of predecessor */
minimumPred = refPred;
}
/* Set "refPred" to "refNode*/
refPred = refNode;
/* Set "refNode" to next reference node */
refNode = refNode.next;
}
// Compute If the first node is the minimum or not
String resultantString = minimumString.value;
/* If the minimum string is list head, then */
if (minimumString == first)
{
//Remove the first string
first = first.next;
/* If the list head is "null", then */
if (first == null)
/* Set "last" to "null" */
last = null;
}
//Otherwise
else
{
//Remove an element with a predecessor
minimumPred.next = minimumString.next;
// If the last item removed, then
if (minimumPred.next == null)
/* Assign "last" to "minimumPred" */
last = minimumPred;
}
/* Finally returns the resultant string elements */
return resultantString;
}
Explanation:
The above method definition is used to remove a minimum element from a list.
- If the list head is null, then returns null.
- Set minimum string and minimum predecessor to “first” node.
- Set reference node to next node of list head and also set the reference of predecessor node.
- Performs “while” loop. This loop will perform up to the “refNode” becomes “null”.
- Check condition using “if” loop.
- If the given condition is true, then assign minimum string to “refNode”.
- Set minimum predecessor to reference of predecessor.
- Set “refPred” to “refNode”.
- Set “refNode” to next reference node.
- Check condition using “if” loop.
- Compute if the first node is minimum or not.
- If the minimum string is list head, then
- Remove the first string.
- If the list head is “null”, then set “last” to “null”.
- Otherwise,
- Remove an element with a predecessor.
- If the last item removed, then assign “last” to “minimumPred”.
- Finally returns the resultant string elements.
Complete code:
The complete executable code for remove a minimum string element from a linked list is given below:
//Define "LinkedList1" class
class LinkedList1
{
/** The code for this part is same as the textbook of "LinkedList1" class */
/* Method definition for "removeMin()" */
String removeMin()
{
/* If the list head is null, then */
if (first == null)
//Returns null
return null;
/* Set minimum string to "first" node */
Node minimumString = first;
/* Set minimum string predecessor to list head*/
Node minimumPred = first;
/* Set reference node to next node of list head */
Node refNode = first...

For simplification, only consider cutting the rope at an integer position by the meter metric. Each cut has a cost associated with it, c(m), which is the cost of cutting the rope at position m. (You can call c(m) at any time to return the cost value.) The goal is to cut the rope into k smaller pieces, minimizing the total cost of cutting. B Provide the pseudo-code of your dynamic programming algorithm f(n,k) that will return the minimum cost of cutting the rope of length n into k pieces. Briefly explain your algorithm.
