CSE 2050 Final Exam
Consider a binary tree with height k and n nodes. What is the maximum number of
leaves in the tree? - ANS-2^k
How many iterator objects are created by the following code snippet:
L = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
for i in L:
print("hello")
for j in L:
print("goodbye") - ANS-5 iterator objects
Give the nodes visited in the correct order by the following traversal generator in a BST
Node class, originally called with the root (e.g. root.traversal()):
def traversal(self): if self.left is not None: yield from self.left if self.right is not None: yield
from self.right yield self - ANS-1,3,5,4,7,6,2
Which of the following is most likely the correct put method for a BSTNode class? -
ANS-def put(self, key, value):
if key == self.key: self.value = value
elif key > self.key:
if self.left is not None:
self.right.put(key, value)
else:
self.right = BSTNode(key, value)
elif key < self.key:
if self.right is not None:
self.left.put(key, value)
else:
self.left = BSTNode(key, value)
Consider a binary search tree with n nodes. What is the asymptotic worst-case running
time of one rotate operation for a given node in the tree? - ANS-O(1)
, Consider the following BST. How many nodes are in the subtree rooted at node 3 after
rotating node 3 left? Include node 3 in this count - your answer should be at least 1. -
ANS-1
Which of the following problems would best be solved with a priority queue? -
ANS-Calling passengers to board an airplane in order of status (e.g. first-class, then
preferred, then economy)
Consider a priority queue implemented with an unsorted list data structure and the
following initialization:
class UnsortedListPQ:
def __init__(self):
self._entries = [] - ANS-def remove_min(self):
entry = min(self._entries)
self._entries.remove(entry)
return entry
Give the nodes in order for the list representation of the following heap: -
ANS-[1,4,7,6,5]
Consider the heap represented by the following list:
self._L = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g]
Which nodes are the children of b? Give the letters representing those nodes, not their
indices. - ANS-Left: d, Right: e
Which of the following operations have a worst case asymptotic running time of O(logn)
(no better, no worse) in a heap? - ANS-insert, remove min, upheap, downheap
Consider an undirected, unweighted graph. We want to visit all the vertices connected
to a given start vertex, by order of non-decreasing distance from the start vertex.
Which one or ones of the following algorithms solve the problem? - ANS-Only breadth
first search
Which one of the following is a reason that the adjacency set implementation of a graph
is generally preferred to the edge set implementation? - ANS-The adjacency set
implementation provides faster access to the neighbors of a given vertex.
