b Describe the concept of linked list with the terminologies: node, next Pointer, null 4M
pointer and empty list.
Ans Node: Each data element in a linked list is represented as a node. Node contains two parts- Description
one is info (data) and other is next pointer (address). Info part stores data and next pointer of each
stores address of next node. terminology
-1M
Next pointer: It is a pointer that holds address of next node in the list i.e. next pointer
points to next node in the list
Null pointer: It is a pointer that does not hold any memory address i.e. it is pointing to
nothing. It is used to specify end of the list. The last element of list contains NULL pointer
to specify end of list.

c Find the position of element 29 using binary search method in an array ‘A’ given 4M
below. Show each step.
A={11,5,21,3,29,17,2,43}
Ans An array which is given A[ ]= {11,5,21,3,29,17,2,43} is not in sorted manner, first we need 1M for
to sort them in order; taking
sorted input
So an array will be A[ ]={2,3,5,11,17,21,29,43} and the value to be searched is VAL = 29. & 1M each
for every
The binary search algorithm will proceed in the following manner. iteration
A[0] A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7]
2 3 5 11 17 21 29 43
Iteration 1:
BEG = 0, END = 7, MID = (0 + 7)/2 = 3
Now, VAL = 29 and A[MID] = A[3] =11
A[3] is less than VAL, therefore, we now search for the value in the second half of the
array.
So, we change the values of BEG and MID.
Iteration 2:
Now, BEG = MID + 1 = 4, END = 7, MID = (4 + 7)/2 =11/2 = 5; VAL = 29 and A [MID] =
A [5] = 21
A[5] is less than VAL, therefore, we now search for the value in the second half of the
segment.
So, again we change the values of BEG and MID.
Iteration 3:
Now, BEG = MID + 1 = 6, END = 7, MID = (6 + 7)/2 = 6 Now, VAL = 29 and A [MID] =
A [6]=29

e Describe circular linked list with suitable diagram. Also state advantage of circular 4M

Ans Circular Linked List 2M for

description
A circular linked list is a variation of linked list in which the last element is linked to the 1M for
first element. This forms a circular loop. diagram
and 1M for
any one
advantage
A circular linked list can be either singly linked or doubly linked.
 for singly linked list, next pointer of last item points to the first item
 In doubly linked list, prev pointer of first item points to last item as well.
We declare the structure for the circular linked list in the same way as follows:
Struct node
{
Int data;
Struct node *next;
};
Typedef struct node *Node;
Node *start = null;
Node *last = null;
For example:
Page 15 of 22
(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Advantages of Circular Linked Lists:

1) Any node can be a starting point. We can traverse the whole list by starting from any
point. We just need to stop when the first visited node is visited again.
2) Useful for implementation of queue. Unlike this implementation, we don’t need to

maintain two pointers for front and rear if we use circular linked list. We can maintain a
pointer to the last inserted node and front can always be obtained as next of last.
3) Circular lists are useful in applications to repeatedly go around the list. For example,
when multiple applications are running on a PC, it is common for the operating system to
put the running applications on a list and then to cycle through them, giving each of them a
slice of time to execute, and then making them wait while the CPU is given to another
application. It is convenient for the operating system to use a circular list so that when it
reaches the end of the list it can cycle around to the front of the list.
4) Circular Doubly Linked Lists are used for implementation of advanced data structures
like Fibonacci Heap.

2. Attempt any THREE of the following: 12

(a) Explain the working of Binary search with an example. 4M
Ans. Binary search is performed only on sorted array. Search method starts
with calculating mid position from an array and compare the mid
position element with the search element. If a match is found thenthe
search process ends otherwise divide the i/p list into 2 parts. First part
contains all thenumbers less than mid position element and second Explana
part contains all the numbers greater than mid position element.Then tion 2M
select one of the part depending on search element is less or greater
than mid position element and calculate mid position for selected
part.Again compare mid position element with search element. The
binary search performs comparison and division task the element is
found or division of list gives one element for comparison.
To calculate mid element perform (lower + upper) / 2.
lower-lower index position of an array(initially 0)
upper-upper index position of an array(initially size-1)

(c) Draw and explain construction of circular queue. 4M
Ans. A queue, in which the last node is connected back to the first node to
form a cycle, is called as circular queue.
Draw
1M
The above diagram represents a circular queue using array.

It has rear pointer to insert an element and front pointer to delete an
element. It works in FIFO manner where first inserted element is Explana
deleted first. tion 3M
Initially front and rear both are initialized to -1 to represent queue
empty. First element inserted in circular queue is stored at 0th index
position pointed by rear pointer. For the very first element, front
pointer is also set to 0th position. Whenever a new element is inserted
in a queue rear pointer is incremented by one. If rear is pointing to
max-1 and no element is present at 0th position then rear is set to 0th
position to continue cycle. Before inserting an element, queue full
condition is checked. If rear is set to max-1 position and front is set to
0 then queue is full. Otherwise if rear =front+1 then also queue is full.
Page 7 / 23
(Autonomous)

MODEL ANSWER
If queue is full then new element cannot be added in a queue.

For deletion, front pointer position is checked and queue empty
condition is checked. If front pointer is pointing to -1 then queue is
empty and deletion operation cannot be performed. If queue contains
any element then front pointer is incremented by one to remove an
element. If front pointer is pointing to max-1 and element is present at
0th position then front pointer is initialize to 0th position to continue
cycle.
Circular queue has advantage of utilization of space. Circular queue is
full only when there is no empty position in a queue. Before inserting
an element in circular queue front and rear both the pointers are
checked. So if it indicates any empty space anywhere in a queue then
insertion takes place.
(d) Explain indegree and outdegree of a graph with example. 4M
Ans. Indegree of node: It is number of edges coming towards a specified
node i.e. number of edges that have that specified node as the head is Each
known as indegree of a node. term-
explanat
Outdegree of node: It is number of edged going out from a specified ion 1M
node i.e. number of edges that have that specified node as the tail is
known as outdegree of a node
In undirected graph each edge is bidirectional so each edge coming

towards node is also going out of that node. Due to this indegree and
outdegree of a node is same number. In indirected graph, each edge is
having direction associated with it, so indegree and outdegree
depends on the direction.

We come out of loop because j is now equal to high-1.

Finally we place pivot at correct position by swapping a[i+1] and
a[h] (or pivot)
a[] = {2,3,5,22,50,39,49,25,18,6} // 6 and 5 Swapped

Ans  Circular queue are the queues implemented in circular form rather 3 M for

 Circular queues overcome the problem of unutilized space in linear and & 1M for
queue implemented as an array. need
 The main disadvantage of linear queue using array is that when
7|28
(Autonomous)
elements are deleted from the queue, new elements cannot be added
in their place in the queue, i.e. the position cannot be reused. After
rear reaches the last position, i.e. MAX-1 in order to reuse the vacant
positions, we can bring rear back to the 0th position, if it is empty,
and continue incrementing rear in same manner as earlier.
 Thus rear will have to be incremented circularly. For deletion, front
will also have to be incremented circularly.
 Rear can be incremented circularly by the following code. If ((rear
== MAX-1) and (front !=0) Rear =0; Else Rear= rear +1; Example:
Assuming that the queue contains three elements.
 Now we insert an element F at the beginning by bringing rear to the

first position in the queue. this can be represented circularly as
shown.
Need of Circular Queue:
 Circular queues overcome the problem of unutilized space in

linear queue implemented as an array.
 The element can be stored efficiently in an array so as to wrap
around so that the end of queue is followed by front of the
queue.

a Explain time and space complexity with an example. 4M
Ans Time Complexity: Time complexity of program or algorithm is amount of 2M for Time
computer time that it needs to run to completion. To measure time Complexity
complexity of an algorithm we concentrate on developing only frequency and
count for key statements. 2M for space
complexity
Example:
#include<stdio.h>
void main ()
{
int i, n, sum, x;
sum=0;
printf(“\n Enter no of data to be added”);
scanf(“% d”, &n);
for(i=0 ; i<n; i++)
Total computational time= t1+t2+t3+(n+1)t4 +nt6+nt5+t7

T= n(t4+t5+t6)+ (t1+t2+t3+t4+t7)
For large n , T can be approximated to
T= n(t4+t5+t6)= kn where k= t4+t5+t6
Thus T = kn or

Space Complexity: Total amount of computer memory required by an

algorithm to complete its execution is called as space complexity of that
algorithm. When a program is under execution it uses the computer memory
for THREE reasons. They are as follows...
 Instruction Space: It is the amount of memory used to

store compiled version of instructions.
 Environmental Stack: It is the amount of memory used to
store information of partially executed functions at the
time of function call.
 Data Space: It is the amount of memory used to store all

the variables and constants.
If the amount of space required by an algorithm is increased with
the increase of input value, then that space complexity is said to
be Linear Space Complexity.
Example:
int sum(int A[ ], int n)
{
int sum = 0, i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
sum = sum + A[i];
return sum;}
In the above piece of code it requires
'n*2' bytes of memory to store array variable 'a[ ]'
2 bytes of memory for integer parameter 'n'
4 bytes of memory for local integer variables 'sum' and 'i' (2 bytes
each)
2 bytes of memory for return value.
That means, totally it requires '2n+8' bytes of memory to

complete its execution. Here, the total amount of memory
required depends on the value of 'n'. As 'n' value increases the
space required also increases proportionately. This type of space
complexity is said to be Linear Space Complexity.
OR
Time complexity:- Time complexity of a program/algorithm is the amount
of computer time that it needs to run to completion. While calculating time
complexity, we develop frequency count for all key statements which are
important and basic instructions of an algorithm.
Example: Consider three algorithms given below:-
10 | 2 8
(Autonomous)
Algorithm A: - a=a+1
Algorithm B: - for x = 1 to n step 1
a=a+1
Loop
Algorithm C:- for x=1 to n step 1
for y=1 to n step 1
a=a+1
Loop
Frequency count for algorithm A is 1 as a=a+1 statement will execute only
once. Frequency count for algorithm B is n as a=a+1 is key statement
executes n time as the loop runs n times.
Frequency count for algorithm C is n as a=a+1 is key statement executes n2
time as the inner loop runs n times, each time the outer loop runs and the
outer loop also runs for n times.
Space complexity:- Space complexity of a program/algorithm is the amount
of memory that it needs to run to completion. The space needed by the
program is the sum of the following components:-
Fixed space requirements: - It includes space for instructions, for simple
variables, fixed size structured variables and constants.
Variable time requirements: - It consists of space needed by structured
variables whose size depends on particular instance of variables. Example: -
additional space required when function uses recursion.

b Explain the concept of recursion using stack. 6M

Ans Recursion is a process of calling a function by itself. a recursive function Explanation-
body contains a function call statement that calls itself repetitively. 4M & 2M for
Recursion is an application of stack. When a recursive function calls itself Example
from body, stack is used to store temporary data handled by the function in
every iteration.
Example:
function call from main() : fact(n); // consider n=5
Function definition:
int fact(int n)
{
if(n==1)
return 1;
else
return(n*fact(n-1));
}
In the above recursive function a function call fact (n-1) makes a recursive
call to fact function. Each time when a function makes a call to itself, it save
its current status in stack and then executes next function call. When fact ( )
function is called from main function, it initializes n with 5. Return statement
inside function body executes a recursive function call. In this call, first
value of n is stored using push ( ) operation in stack (n=5) and a function is
called again with value 4(n-1). In each call, value of n is push into the stack
and then it is reduce by 1 to send it as argument to recursive call. When a
function is called with n=1, recursive process stops. At the end all values
from stack are retrieved one by one using pop ( ) operation to perform
multiplication to calculate factorial of number.
In the above diagram, first column shows result of push operation after each

recursive call execution. Next columns shows result of pop operation for
calculating factorial.
c Show with suitable diagrams how to delete a node from singly linked list 6M
at the beginning, in between and at the end of the list.
Ans In a linear linked list, a node can be deleted from the beginning of list, from Diagram for
in between positions and from end of the list. beginning-
2M, end-2M,
Delete a node from the beginning:- inbetween-2M
Node to be deleted is node1.Create a temporary node as ‘temp’. Set ‘temp’

node with the address of first node. Store address of node 2 in header pointer
‘start’ and then delete ‘temp’ pointer with free function. Deleting temp
pointer deletes the first node from the list.
Delete a node from in between position:-
Node to be deleted is node3.Create a temporary node as ‘temp’ and ‘q’. Set

‘temp’ node with the address of first node. Traverse the list up to the
previous node of node 3 and mark the next node (node3) as ‘q’. Store
address from node ‘q’ into address field of ‘temp’ node. Then delete ‘q’
pointer with free function. Deleting ‘q’ pointer deletes the node 3 from the
list.

Delete a node from the end:-
Node to be deleted is node 3.Create a temporary node as ‘temp’ and ‘q’. Set
‘temp’ node with the address of first node. Traverse the list up to the second
last node and mark the last node as ‘q’. Store NULL value in address field of
‘temp’ node and then delete ‘q’ pointer with free function. Deleting q pointer
deletes the last node from the list.
