(alphabet for-loop example) O(n) Choose an answer 1size2key 3type4value Don't know?

A functions whose cost scales logarithmically with the input size O(log n) Which type of function works by breaking down large problem into smaller and smaller chunks?O(log n) As the size of the input grows the cost of the algorithm does not increase at the same rate. The overall cost of performing an operation on 1,000,000 items is only twice that of performing the operation on 1,000 items.O(log n) A function that exhibits quadratic growth relative to the input size O(n^2) An example of this type of function is doubly nested loop O(n^2) Which type of function gets really expensive really quickly?O(n^2) A function that has two inputs that contribute to growth O(nm) An example of this type of function is when there is a nested loop that iterates of two distinct collections of data O(nm) Are Big-O cases used in the best or worst situations? Worst Which statement is static?readonly Contact[] contacts = new Contact[]; readonly Contact contacts = new Contacts[100]; readonly Contact contacts = new Contacts[100]; A container where data is stored in nodes consisting of a single data item and a reference to the next node Linked List A ______ is a container where nodes of data are linked together into a list Linked List Linking together complex nodes into a single structure Linked List Each link in a chain for a linked lists is called a ______ node What two things do nodes contain?1. the value

• reference to next item in the list

Give a coded example on how to create a 3 chained linked list of nodes.Node head = new Node(1); head.Next = new Node(2); head.Next.Next = new Node(3); A list where we start at the first node and follow the chain of nodes iterating over each until we get to the end Singly Linked List A list that builds on the singly linked list by adding reverse iteration.Doubly Linked List Give a coded example on how to create a doubly linked list Node node1 = new Node(1); Node node2 = new Node(2); Node node3 = new Node(3); node1.Next = node2; node2.Previous = node1; node2.Next = node3; node3.Previous = node2; The first and last nodes of a doubly linked list should have a value of ______ null Adds a value to the beginning of the listAddHead Adds a value at the end of the linked listAddTail Finds the first node whose value equals the provided argument Find Returns true if the specified value exists in the list, false otherwise Contains Removes the first node on the list whose value is equal to the argument Remove A doubly linked list where the values are inserted and sorted in order Sorted List Adds the specified item to the linked list in the sort order of the item type Add A way of organizing, storing, and performing operations on data Data Structure

A data structure that stores subitems, with a name associated with each subitem.record A data structure that stores an ordered list of items, with each item is directly accessible by a positional index.Array A data structure that stores ordered list of items in nodes, where each node stores data and has a pointer to the next node.linked list A data structure in which each node stores data and has up to two children, known as a left child and a right child.binary tree A data structure that stores unordered items by mapping (or hashing) each item to a location in an array.hash table A tree that maintains the simple property that a node's key is greater than or equal to the node's childrens' keys.max heap A tree that maintains the simple property that a node's key is less than or equal to the node's childrens' keys.min heap A data structure for representing connections among items, and consists of vertices connected by edges.graph This represents an item in a graph.vertex This represents a connection between two vertices in a graph.edge A Last-in, First-out (LIFO) data containerStack When something is retrieved from a stack, does it come from the top or bottom of the stack?Top A First-in, First-out (FIFO) containerQueue When something is removed from a queue, does it come from the head or the tail?Head When something is added to a queue, does it get added to the head or the tail?Tail
