Questions and Answers

How is a sparse matrix typically represented in memory?

A sparse matrix can be represented using a linked list or an array of structures that store only non-zero elements along with their row and column indices.

List some applications of stacks.

Stacks are used in function call management, expression evaluation, and backtracking algorithms.

What is tail recursion, and how does it differ from normal recursion?

Tail recursion occurs when the recursive call is the last operation in the function, allowing for optimization by reusing stack frames, unlike normal recursion which may require maintaining multiple stack frames.
