Chapter 9, Problem 5RQE
Program Plan Intro

Pointer:

Pointer will allow the user to indirectly access and manipulate the variable data contents. A pointer variable will hold the address of the data contents. If an asterisk “*” operator is present before the variable then that variable is referred as pointer variable. An asterisk “*” is also referred as indirection operator is used to dereferences the pointer.

Adding a value to a pointer variable:

When a pointer variable is added, it is similar to adding number of time the size of the pointer variable that is stored.

Example:

//declaring a pointer variable

int *a;

//incrementing the pointer value by 1

a++;

In the above snippet the pointer variable is incremented by “1” means, the size of the pointer variable is being increased in terms of their size.

1 * 2 = 2

Therefore, additional of 2 bytes will be added to the pointer variable “a” after incrementing it by one.

6.3A-3. Multiple Access protocols (3). Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access wireless nodes at times t=0.1, 1.4, 1.8, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 t=0.0 2 3 45 t=1.0 t-2.0 t-3.0 6 t=4.0 t-5.0 For the CSMA protocol (without collision detection), indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You should assume that it takes .2 time units for a signal to propagate from one node to each of the other nodes. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision or senses the channel busy, then that node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. Hint: consider propagation times carefully here. (Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here B.] ☐ U ப 5 - 3 1 4 6 2
Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?   Like if a physics component requires a transform component and these two component are part of the same scene node. How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?
