Question No: 27 ( Marks: 2 )
Give the difference between strict and complete binary tree.
Ans:
A tree is a strictly binary tree if its each leaf node has non-empty left and right sub trees, and
If there are left and right sub-trees for each node in a binary tree is known as complete binary tree.
Question No: 28 ( Marks: 2 )
A complete binary tree can be stored in an array. While storing the tree in an array
we leave the first position (0th index )of the array empty. Why?
Ans
Because we need a pointer in an array to point a position of node of tree. parent node and the children nodes. In case of having a node with left and right children, stored at position i in the array, the left 2i and the right child will be at 2i+1 position. If the value of i 2, the parent will be at position 2 and the left child will be at position 2i i.e. 4 .The right child will be at position 2i+1 i.e. 5. we have not started the 0th position. It is simply due to the fact if the position is 0, 2i will also
become 0. So we will start from the 1st position, ignoring the 0th.

Question No: 35 ( Marks: 5 )
Explain the following terms:
- Collision
- Linear Probing
- Quadratic Probing
Ans:
Collision:
it takes place when two or more keys (data items) produce the same index.
Linear Probing
when there is a collision, some other location in the array is found. This is known as linear probing. In linear probing, at the time of collisions, we add one to the index and check that location. If it is also not empty, we add 2 and check that position. Suppose we keep on incrementing the array index and reach at the end of the table. We were unable to find the space and reached the last location of the array.
Quadratic Probing
In the quadratic probing when a collision happens we try to find the empty location at
index + 12. If it is filled then we add 22 and so on.
Quadratic probing uses different formula:
- Use F(i) = i2 (square of i) to resolve collisions
- If hash function resolves to H and a search in cell H is inconclusive, try
H + 12, H + 22, H + 32
Question No: 36 ( Marks: 5 )

We have put the address of dummy node in its right pointer and pointed the left thread of the left most node towards the dummy node. Similarly the right thread of the right-most node is pointing to the dummy node. Now we have some extra pointers whose help will make the nextInorder routine function properly.”

Question No: 41 ( Marks: 10 )
Suppose we have build a Skip list .Now we want to add and remove items from the list .Give Algorithms for insert (item) and delete (item) methods of the Skip List.
Solution:
When we are going to insert (add) an item (x,0) into a skip list, we use a randomized algorithm. We send the item in a pair.
insert
To insert an item (x, o) into a skip list, we use a randomized algorithm:
- We repeatedly toss a coin until we get tails, and we denote with i the number of times the coin came up heads
- If i ³ h, we add to the skip list new lists Sh+1, … , Si +1, each containing only the two special keys
- We search for x in the skip list and find the positions p0, p1 , …, pi of the items with largest key less than x in each list S0, S1, … , Si
- For j ¬ 0, …, i, we insert item (x, o) into list Sj after position pj
delete
To remove an item with key x from a skip list, we proceed as follows:
- We search for x in the skip list and find the positions p0, p1 , …, pi of the items with key x, where position pj is in list Sj
- We remove positions p0, p1 , …, pi from the lists S0, S1, … , Si
- We remove all but one list containing only the two special key
