Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5, Problem 4SI
Explanation of Solution
The sense in which the some institute should be given ownership of algorithms is:
- The ownership of rivers, oceans ad forests were normally given to either the famous personalities if they donated the money to that place or to the war heroes for their service and sacrifices to that region.
- Similar is the case with algorithms.
- An
algorithm is the building block of a program. It is a set of rules used to perform a particular operation especially by a computer. - These are logical structures and are used as an abstract which defines the work done. They have physical significance.
- Every algorithm should have three features:
- The algorithm should be finite in structure.
- The algorithm should have precisely defined instruction...

The following question are intended as a guide to the ethical/social/legal issues associated with the field of computing. The goal is not merely to answer these question. You should also consider why you answered as you did and whether your justifications are consistent from one question to the next.
In the context of interactive television, to what extent should a company be allowed to retrieve information from children (perhaps via an interactive game format)? For example, should a company be allowed to obtain a child's report on his or her parents' buying patterns? What about information about the child?
The questions that follow are meant to serve as a roadmap to the
ethical, societal, and legal problems that arise in the area of computing. The aim isn't only to find answers to these questions. Evaluate why you responded the way you did and if your justifications are clear from question to question.
Is it appropriate for a person to design his or her own applications without considering the risk of truncation errors and their
consequences?
Question 1
(a). Iteration and recursion are two very fundamental concepts
underlying things we do in computing.
(i). In your own words, compare and contrast the terms Iteration
and Recursion in the context of solving problems in business,
science or engineering; and explain the areas of use (in practice)
of each of them.
(ii). Using practical examples in business, science or engineering,
explain reasons why people still use recursion to solve problems
even-though iteration is more efficient.
(b). In your own words, describe how Agape Savings and Loans Company
can use singly-linked lists to keep track of customers that its Susu
collectors (or mobile bankers) have won for the company over the
last 2 months; and draw a suitable diagram (with hypothetical data)
to illustrate your answer.
(c). In many fields of human endeavour, we use stacks on daily basis.
Provide and explain two practical examples where we use stacks in
each of the following fields:
(i). Education
(ii). Business
(iii).…
