In early implementations of FORTRAN language, a compiler may choose to use static
allocation (i.e., allocation in the static area) for local variables and parameters, effectively arranging
for the variables of different invocations to share the same locations, and thereby avoiding
any run-time overhead for creation and destruction of stack frames. However, such an implemen-
tation changes the meaning of recursive function calls.
Provide a simple example and explain how its meaning changes under the “FORTRAN” semantics
as stated above, compared with standard semantics found in languages like C, Python, and Java.
1) Static allocation refers to the process of reserving memory for variables during compile-time. The memory allocation is determined before the program is executed and remains fixed throughout the program's runtime. This means that the size and type of data to be stored in the variable are known at compile-time.
2) In statically allocated memory, variables have fixed addresses that are determined at compile-time. This allocation strategy is commonly used for global variables and local variables with the static keyword in languages like C and C++. It is also used for arrays whose size is known at compile-time.
3) Dynamic allocation refers to the process of allocating memory for variables during runtime, as the program is executing. This allows for the creation of variables whose size and type may not be known until the program is actually running.
4) In dynamically allocated memory, variables are assigned memory addresses during program execution, and their size and characteristics can be changed as needed. Languages like C++ (with new and delete operators), C (with malloc() and free() functions), and Java (with the new keyword) support dynamic allocation.

- Is it reasonable to expect that a circularly-linked list solution for queues implemented in C++ would have the same benefits as a circular array solution? Then, what is stopping you from doing it?arrow_forwardcode in C++arrow_forwardPYTHON: Give a recursive implement to the following function: def split_by_sign(lst, low, high) The function is given a list lst of non-zero integers, and two indices: low and high (low ≤ high), which indicate the range of indices that need to be considered. The function should reorder the elements in lst, so that all the negative numbers would come before all the positive numbers. Note: The order in which the negative elements are at the end, and the order in which the positive are at the end, doesn’t matter, as long as all he negative are before all the positive.

Could you please implement balance function as a pipeline or using tail recursion in scala?arrow_forward3. In the StackGuard approach to solving the buffer overflow problem, the compiler inserts a canary value on the memory location before the retum address in the stack. The canary value is randomly generated. When there is a return from the function call, the compiler checks if the canary value has been overwritten or not. Do you think this approach would work? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Q2: Besides the while-loop in Q1, I want to implement a 2nd while-loop running in parallel with the first while: while(1) { wt(1); XX); } However, on an MCU there is no parallelism. (For ex., on Arduino I can define only one loop() function.) Write a single while that does the job of both whiles. (a) Write it in a procedural style. (b) Write it the super-loop style (state-machine with fixed heartbeat).arrow_forwardElaborate a C program of a circular static queue, where you can add an element, remove an element, show the queue, check if the queue is full, check if the queue is empty, and exit the program. Specify what is the structure of the queue, what are the function prototypes and what is the main function.arrow_forwardIn a programming language (Pascal), the declaration of a node in a singly linked list is shown in Figure P6.7(a).

- In a concurrent environment, what precautions should be taken when using the Comparable interface to avoid race conditions and synchronization issues during sorting?arrow_forwardYour task for this assignment is to implement a stack data structure in C++. This may be accomplished by utilizing the C++ standard template library (STL) or by utilizing a user-defined class. 1. 2. 3. 4. Implement a stack data structure using C++. The program will be interactive. Data transactions will be entered as a batch of transactions in a text file at the command line using redirection. The result of each transaction will be displayed on the console. For example: $ prog3 < prog3.dat Each input transaction will contain an arithmetic expression in post-fix format. Assume that each operand and operation (+,-, *, /, %, ^) is a single character in each arithmetic expression without spacing. You may assume that each arithmetic expression is correctly formatted. However, your program should not attempt the following: a. Divide by zero with / or % ... Instead, your program should display an error message and then begin evaluating a new input transaction. b. Perform % with non-integer…arrow_forwardNonscalar types, such as arrays, records (structures), and variant records (unions) also contain information. The rules for information flow classes for these data types are built on the scalar types. Consider the array a: array 1 .. 100 of int; First, look at information flows out of an element a[i] of the array. In this case, information flows from a[i] and from i, the latter by virtue of the index indicating which element of the array to use. Information flows into a[i] affect only the value in a[i], and so do not affect the information in i. Thus, for information flows from a[i], the class involved is lub{ a[i], i }; for information flows into a[i], the class involved is a[i]. Above is the infromation flow security mechanism for arrays similarly write one for structures/Records. Below is the small info on Structures. The structure consists of several fields, each of which acts like a variable. Say you have a structure with two integer fields, x and y. You want to assign the value…arrow_forward
