10 Questions
What is a linked data structure?
A data structure consisting of data records linked together by references
How are linked data structures contrasted with arrays?
Arrays require performing arithmetic operations on pointers
What is a linked list?
A collection of structures ordered by logical links stored as part of the data
How can linking be done in linked data structures?
Using dynamic allocation and array index linking
What are some examples of linked data structures?
Linked lists, search trees, expression trees
Match the following with their primary usage:
Linked data structures = Organizing data records by references Arrays = Requiring arithmetic operations on pointers Linked lists = Ordered by logical links stored within the data structure Dynamic allocation = One way of linking in linked data structures
Match the following with their type of linked data structure:
Search trees = Linked data structure Expression trees = Linked data structure Topological sort = Algorithm using linked data structures Set union-find = Algorithm using linked data structures
Match the following with their primary usage in linked data structures:
Links or pointers = Used to connect data records Dereferencing = Operation on special data types in linked data structures Comparison for equality = Operation on special data types in linked data structures Array index linking = One way of linking in linked data structures
Match the following with their characteristics in linked data structures:
Linked data structures = Contrasted with arrays in terms of pointer operations Linked lists = Not necessarily stored in adjacent memory locations Array indices = Actually used as references in some linked data structures Data field and address field = Components of every structure in a linked list
Match the following with their examples of linked data structures:
Linked lists = Example of a linked data structure Search trees = Example of a linked data structure Expression trees = Example of a linked data structure Topological sort = Algorithm using linked data structures
