A list is a collection that _____.

  1. a. associates keys with elements
  2. b. assigns an index to each of its elements
  3. c. is implemented by the JList class
  4. d. none of the above
Expert Solution & Answer

Program Description Answer

A list is a collection that “assigns an index to each element in a list”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Explanation of Solution

List:

  • A list is a collection that stores its element in a location-based order.
  • Each element in a list is related with an index that matches to its location within the list. That is the first element contains index 0, the second element contains index 1 and so on.
  • Storage allocation for the elements of a list takes place in two methods such as contiguous allocation and linked allocation.
    • Continuous allocation:
      • Array-based lists use this allocation.
      • It assigns storage for consecutive list elements in consecutive memory locations.
    • Linked allocation:
      • This allocation does not require consecutive memory locations to store list elements.
      • It uses a pointer to store each element in a list.

Explanation for incorrect options:

A list is a collection that associates index with elements not keys.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

“JList” is a type of Java Swing package. It is a component that shows a set of objects and permits the user to choose more than one element from the list.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Objective Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort and analyze its efficiency compared to recursive MergeSort. Unlike the recursive approach, which involves multiple function calls and stack overhead, the bottom-up version sorts iteratively by merging small subarrays first, reducing recursion depth and improving performance. Task 1. Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort о Start with single-element subarrays and iteratively merge them into larger sorted sections. Use a loop-based merging process instead of recursion. ○ Implement an efficient in-place merging strategy if possible. 2. Performance Analysis Compare execution time with recursive MergeSort on random, nearly sorted, and reversed datasets. ○ Measure and plot time complexity vs. input size. O Submission Explain why the iterative version reduces function call overhead and when it performs better. • Code implementation with comments. • A short report (1-2 pages) comparing performance. • Graph of execution time vs. input size for…
Given a shared data set, we allow multiple readers to read at the same time, and only one single writer can access the shared data at the same time. In the lecture slides, a solution is given. However, the problem is that the write cannot write forever, if there are always at least one reader. How to ensure that the writer can eventually write? Propose your solution by using semaphores and implemented in Python from threading import Thread, Semaphore from time import sleep from sys import stdout class Reader(Thread): def__init__(self, name): self.n=name; Thread.__init__(self) defrun(self): globalnr, nw, dr, dw whileTrue: # ⟨await nw == 0 then nr += 1⟩ e.acquire() ifnw>0: #if nw > 0 or dw > 0 : dr+=1; e.release(); r.acquire() nr+=1 ifdr>0: dr-=1; r.release() else: e.release() # read data stdout.write(self.n+' reading\n') sleep(1) # ⟨nr -= 1⟩ e.acquire() nr-=1 ifnr==0anddw>0: dw-=1 ; w.release() else: e.release() class Writer(Thread): def__init__(self, name):…
