A. Data structures With respect to the following data structures used for indexing: • explain with an example when deletion from a heap would take (a) 1 operation (b) N operations. • explain with an example when deletion from a sorted sequence would take $\log N + N$ operations.

Step 1
In a heap, the root is always the element with the highest (or lowest) priority. When the root is deleted, the heap needs to be restructured to maintain its properties. This restructuring involves swapping the root with the last element in the heap and then Show more…

Suppose that a singly linked list is implemented with both a header and a tail node. Describe constant-time algorithms to a. Insert item x before position p (given by an iterator). b. Remove the item stored at position p (given by an iterator).

Suppose that we want to create a binary search tree where each node contains information of some data type called Item (which has a default constructor and a correct value semantics). a. What additional factor is required for the Item data type? b. Suppose that a binary search tree contains the number 42 at a node with two children. Write two or three clear sentences to describe the process required to delete the 42 from the tree.
