Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
Explanation of Solution
Descriptor:
- The descriptor is nothing but collection of the attributes of a variable.
- It is an area of memory which stores the attributes of a variable in an implementation.
- If the attributes are all static, then the descriptors are required only at compile time. These descriptors are built by the compiler, usually as a part of the symbol table, and are used during compilation.
- For dynamic attributes, all of the descriptor must be maintained during execution. Here, the descriptor is used by the run-time system.
- Generally, it is used for type checking and building the code for the allocation and deallocation operations.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1). Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values. Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
