1. Asymptotic complexity

Find one statement that is false.

A log3(N) = O(log2(N))

B log2(N
3) = O(log2(N

2))

C log2(3N) = O(log2(2N))

D 3N = O(2N)

E 23N = O(22N)

2. Algorithms for linked lists

Consider two singly-linked lists implemented without classes. You are given non-const pointers to
the head and the tail elements (four pointers total). The last element of each list can have its .next
pointer uninitialized and later overwritten. During all operations the head and tail pointers must
remain valid.

Which statement below is false?

A Copying a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list takes Θ(N) time.

B The first element of each linked list can be deleted in O(1) time.

C The last element of each linked list can be deleted in O(1) time.

D The merger(concatenation) of the two linked lists can be created in O(1) time.

E Reversing a singly-linked list in place can be performed in O(N) time.

3. Program analysis

(Please read the description entirely before proceeding further.)
Consider the following piece of code.

int pickOne(vector v) {
// rand() produces a different unsigned every time it is called
return v[rand() % v.size()]; // rand() and v.size() take O(1) time

}

vector myRandomSample(vector v) {
vector newVec(v.size());
for (unsigned k = 0; k != v.size(); ++k)

newVec[k] = pickOne(v);
return newVec;

}

Assume that the claims in the comments are correct. Which one of the following is a correct and
tight bound on the asymptotic runtime of function myRandomSample() including all calls to
pickOne()?

A O(N2)

B Θ(N)

C Ω(N)

D Θ(N logN)

E O(NN)

Note: we are not using move semantics from C++11 (so you don’t need to know what it is)

OPTIONAL: improve the asymtotic complexity of this code in two different ways —
(a) by adding one character,
(b) by adding one C++ keyword.

4. Linear-time algorithms with sorted ranges

The following function claims to compute set-union of two sorted ranges in linear time.

template
OutputIterator set_what(InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,

InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2 last2,
OutputIterator result) {

while (first1 != last1 && first2 != last2) {
if (*first1 < *first2) ++first1; else if (*first2 < *first1) ++first2; else { *result++ = *first1++; ++first2; } // else } // while return result; } Which of the following best describes its actual performance? A It computes what it claims, but may take longer than linear time. B Iterators may go out of range on some inputs, and the function may crash. C It computes set-difference. D It computes set-intersection in linear time. E None of the above.

The Standard Template Library: containers and iterators STL iterators are used with container classes and are conceptually similar to pointers to specific elements stored in the container. One of the statements below is true. Which one? A An iterator typically holds an address (pointer), and operator++ applied to the iterator always increases that address. B When iterator it goes out of scope in a program, it gets destructed, which automatically invokes delete it;. C For a valid STL container myC, when the expression myC.end() - myC.begin() is well- defined, it returns the same value as myC.size(). D When a container goes out of scope, all iterators that point to it are automatically modified. E For a valid STL container myC, the iterator returned by myC.end() refers to the last valid element in myC.

Memory allocation & ownership, and container data structures Recall that the concept of memory ownership is used to prevent memory leaks (memory that has not been deallocated but is not pointed to) and crashes due to double delete calls. Which of the following statements is false? A This piece of C++ code may lead to a crash or memory corruption: int *p, *r; p = r = new int; delete p; delete r; B If a member of a class is a pointer that owns memory, then the destructor of that class must always use the delete[] operator on that pointer. C If a pointer or an iterator is the only legal way to access a chunk of memory, then it must be the direct owner of that chunk of memory. D If a member of a class is a pointer that owns memory, then the copy-constructor of the class must invoke operator new in some way. E Memory allocated with new int[10] must be deallocated with delete[].

Your robot friend is to be programmed to
count the exits reachable from your current location and it should use the fastest algorithm available.

A O(N +M)

B O(NM)

C O(ENM)

D O(ENM)

E O(NEME)

8. Binary search

Consider an array ofN C++ strings, each string with exactlyM characters. No additional information
is available about individual strings, but the array lists strings in a dictionary order (lexicographically
increasing). We wish to find one particular string without building additional data structures. Which
expression below represents most accurately the complexity of binary search on such an array?

A O(logN)

B O(logM)

C O(M logN)

D O(N logM)

E O(logM + logN)

9. Algorithm design

Consider struct Segment {double xMin, xMax;}; and a vector. The
task is to determine if any two segments in the input vector intersect (allowed operators for doubles
are assignment, comparisons and copy-construction). Assuming a fastest possible algorithm, what
will its worst-case asymptotic complexity be in terms of N = vector::size()?

A N

B N log(N)

C N(log(N))2

D N2

E N2 log(N)

CLARIFICATION : If an algorithm finds two intersecting segments, it can report “some segments
intersect” and stop.

10. Fill in the blanks [7 points]

Insert missing words and code. No credit will be given for answers that are too general.

1. Priority queues with log(N) access time are often implemented using the
data structure.

2. The worst-case complexity and the amortized complexity are different for the
operation of the container class in STL.

3. sort and sort exhibit linear best-case runtime
but quadratic worst-case runtime.

4. A class that implements the functionality of a one-dimensional array with range checking
(using the conventional array interface) must implement two versions of .
Similarly, a two-dimensional array class would implement two versions of
(must be a member of the class).

11. Short calculation [13 pts]

A. You are given a square-shaped terrain map (of total area A > 0) assembled from satellite
photographs. You need to add names of rivers, streets, etc. Your strategy is to subdivide the map
into 4 quadrants, process each quadrant individually, and assemble the results. Processing consists
of subdividing a quadrant further until the sub-quadrants are small enough (when area ≤ A0) to be
labeled directly in O(1) time. As labeling errors tend to be more frequent near the division lines, your
quadrants overlap a little, and you carefully check the overlaps. At each subdivision step, each of
the four quadrants contains 1

3
of the area. The effort (time) to subdivide into quadrants and check the

overlaps is estimated as γA for constant γ > 0. Denoting by T (A) the time required to label a square
map of area A, write down a recurrence for T (A) and solve it:

Recurrence: T (n) =

Closed-form solution: T (A) = O( )

HINT: Since labeling a map of area ≤ A0 takes O(1) time, the amount of work depends on the ratio
n = A/A0. Use the Master theorem in terms of n. Then get rid of n.

You may use a standard function (such as sqrt, exp, log, sin) in your answers, but only once.

B. We are enumerating all permutations of 5 elements using a stack and a queue (as described in
lectures). Initially, the stack is empty, but the queue is full. Count the number of different 3-element
configurations observed in the stack during this process.

12. Programming: Linear-time Algorithms and the STL [20 points]

Implement STL’s uniq_copy() function according to its official interface and description.

template
OutputIterator unique_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,

OutputIterator result);

Quoting from http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/unique copy.html:

unique_copy() copies elements from the range [first, last) to a range beginning
with result, except that in a consecutive group of duplicate elements only the first one is
copied. The return value is the end of the range to which the elements are copied.

Complexity: Linear. For elements in the ranges, exactly last – first applications of
operator==() and at most last – first assignments.

For example, if you executed this code:

int data[6] = {1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0}, output[6];
unique_copy(data, data + 6, output);

You would have this in array output:
1 3 1 0

Implementation: Use the back of this page as a working area, then rewrite neatly on the front. Limit:
15 lines of code (points deducted if longer). You may NOT use other STL algorithms/functions.

template
OutputIterator unique_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,

OutputIterator result) {

13. Stacks, queues and priority queues [20 points]

Implement the following function

int idContainerType(MysteryContainer& myC);

The class MysteryContainer may implement a stack, or a queue, or a min-priority queue or
a max-priority queue. Depending on the container type, the function should return 1, 2, 3 or 4
respectively. The behavior of the function in other cases is not defined, for example it may return
0 (for clarity), or one of the valid values.

You may access myC only through void MysteryContainer::addElement(int) and
int MysteryContainer::removeElement(), but you may assume that the container is
initially empty. The worst-case number of accesses to myC should be as small as possible. Subject to
that, keep the function short.

int idContainerType(MysteryContainer &myC) {
