Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.16HW
Program Plan Intro
Dynamic allocator:
Dynamic allocator keeps the heap as a group of several size blocks; each block is an attached portion of virtual memory which is allocated or free.
- An allocated block has been clearly kept for use by the application.
- A free block is offered to be allocated.
Two types of allocators:
- 1. Explicit allocators
- 2. Implicit allocators
Explicit allocators:
Explicit allocators need the application to explicitly free any allocated blocks.
Implicit allocators:
Implicit allocators is the method of automatically releasing vacant allocated blocks. This is also known as garbage collection.
Explicit free list:
In this method, a block contains one word header, payload and additional padding. The header encrypts the block size which contains header and padding; and also check the block is allocated or free.
- The heap can be organized doubly linked list by including predecessor and successor pointer in each free block.
- This method reduces the allocation time when compared to implicit free list.
- If the arrangement is single-word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “4” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.
- If the arrangement is double-word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “8” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.

- Write a program that simulates a Magic 8 Ball, which is a fortune-telling toy that displays a random response to a yes or no question. In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt: Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO.
