Explanation of Solution

Command-driven operating system:

  • Command-driven interface refers to program and operating system that take commands in the form of special words or letters.
  • Some operating system are command-driven where the user runs a program by typing a command.
    • The screen is usually blank except a symbol such as “$”.
    • When the command is typed on the command prompt and enter key is pressed, the command is processed and the output is shown on the screen.
    • Generally, the operating system commands are short words or abbreviations such as date, logout, passwd, and ls.
  • Example of a command driven operating system are Unix OS and MS-DOS

Explanation for incorrect options:

XP:

The operating system XP is an example of a graphical user interface (GUI).

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Mavericks:

Mavericks’ operating system is Apple’s latest operating system which is based on the Mac OS. Mac OS provides GUI. So, “Mavericks” OS is also example of a GUI.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Windows 7:

The operating system Windows 7 is an example of a GUI.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

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)
