1. No. For example, in the special case where the input search key is the element stored at the very beginning of the array a, linear search will use fewer comparisons than binary search to find it.

for (i = 0; i < TABLE_SIZE; i++) { for (j = 0; j < TABLE_SIZE; j++) a[i][j] = -10 + rand() % 21; printf("%3d ", a[i][j]); } printf("\n"); } // Part (b): j = 0; int all_negative; do { all_negative = 1; for (i = 0; i < TABLE_SIZE; i++) all_negative = all_negative && } j++; } while ((j < TABLE_SIZE) && !(all_negative)); printf("%s\n", all_negative ? "YES" : "NO"); } 3. (a) If s1 and s2 point to two strings then the function f concatenates them, putting the second string at the end of the first string. The resulting string is stored in the string pointed to by s1 when the function is called. The function works as follows. First, the while-loop increases s1 until it points to ’\0’-character marking the end the first string. Next, the for-loop copies the second string to this location by copying the characters in the second string one by one. The for-loop terminates when the ’\0’-character marking the end of the second string has been copied to the first string. The reason is that at this point, the value of the assignment *s1 = *s2 is 0, so the loop-continuation test fails. (b) The issue is that the function f does not do any bounds checking on the memory locations that it writes to. If the concatenated string is too long to fit in the memory area reserved for storing s1, some characters from s2 will copied to memory locations lying outside that area. This may cause the program to crash. { { (a[i][j] < 0); 1 4. // COMP1011_2020_Quiz_2_4.c: #include
