Question
7 Can you please help:
Looking up a word in a dictionary can be a complicated process. For example, assume that you want to look up logic. You might open the dictionary to a random page and see juice. You know this word comes alphabetically before logic, so you flip forward and see lamb. That is still not far enough, so you flip forward and see monkey. You have gone too far, so you flip back, and so on. Draw a structured flowchart or write pseudocode that describes the process of looking up a word in a dictionary. Pick a word at random and have a fellow student attempt to carry out your instructions.

- Complete the function that computes the length of a path that starts with the given Point. The Point structure = point on the plane that is a part of a path. The structure includes a pointer to the next point on the path, or nullptr if it's the last point. I'm not sure how to fill in the '?'; especially the while loop I'm not sure how to implement the condition for that.arrow_forwardThis is needed in Java Given that an ArrayList of Strings named nameList has already been created and names have already been inserted, write the statement necessary to delete the name at index 15.arrow_forwardUse your imagination to come up with a situation where you can write a program that contains if, a loop (for loop or while loop), and an array.

- In c++ and without the use of vectors, please. Thanks very much! A contact list is a place where you can store a specific contact with other associated information such as a phone number, email address, birthday, etc. Write a program that first takes as input an integer N that represents the number of word pairs in the list to follow. Word pairs consist of a name and a phone number (both strings). That list is followed by a name, and your program should output the phone number associated with that name. Define and call the following function. The return value of FindContact is the index of the contact with the provided contact name. If the name is not found, the function should return -1 This function should use binary search. Modify the algorithm to output the count of how many comparisons using == with the contactName were performed during the search, before it returns the index (or -1). int FindContact(ContactInfo contacts[], int size, string contactName) Ex: If the input is: 3…arrow_forwardA for construct is used to build a loop that processes a list of elements in programming. To do this, it continues to operate forever as long as there are objects to process. Is this assertion truthful or false? Explain your response.arrow_forwardTry to create a dictionary that has a listing of people and includes one interesting fact about each of them. Display each person and their interesting fact on the screen. From there, alter a fact about one of the people on the list. Also, add an extra person and corresponding fact to the list. Display the newly created list of people and facts. Try running the program multiple times and take note of whether the order changes. Sample output: Jeff: Was born in France. David: Was a mascot in college. Anna: Has arachnophobia. Dylan: Has a pet hedgehog. Jeff: Was born in France. David: Can juggle. Anna: Has arachnophobia. Code Listing 209 106arrow_forward
