Question 1 (a) What is fragmentation? Briefly explain what it is and how we address it. (b) Explain the role of the stack and the heap, using an example of call- ing a function that then allocates memory for 100 integers to a local pointer variable. You may use a diagram if you wish.

Q3. (IN YOUR ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION, PLEASE USE THE GRAPHICAL NOTATION GIVEN IN THE TEXTBOOK (Introduction to Computer Theory, by Cohen) WHILE DRAWING THE PDA, PDA's CONSTRUCTED USING OTHER NOTATIONS WILL NOT BE EVALUATED.) L3 is the language L3={a"bc")*d* | n>1, k21} over the alphabet E={a,b,c,d}. a) Build a one-stack Push Down Automata (PDA) to accept the language L3. Please explain your design shortly and draw the PDA. b) Build a multi-stack Push Down Automata (PDA) (for example with two stacks) to accept L3. Please explain your design shortly and draw the PDA.
I need help with this C++ data structure course - Show the steps for sorting the following heaps [8,5,6,2,3] in ascending order using heap sort.
It is possible to demonstrate the return address of a function by using a series of instructions. Keep in mind that any modifications to the stack must not prohibit the process from returning control to the person who called it.
demonstrate how stack data structure is implemented using pointers. use appropriate coding to impement the correct methods to perform. Deletion of existing elements ?
(a) You are given the following requirements for a stack abstract data type: I. It must be possible to make a stack empty It must be possible to push a given element on to a stack It must be possible to pop the topmost element from a stack It must be possible to determine the depth of a stack П. Ш. IV. Write the algorithms to perform the push and pop operations. (b) Briefly describe a possible representation for a stack.
Data structures and algorithm
Explain the difference between how a primitive data is kept in memory and how a reference data is stored in memory in terms of stack and heap memory in terms of stack and heap memory.
During our conversation about Stacks, Queues, and Deques, we talked about the circular array implementation of a queue. 1. Why didn't we need a circular array implementation of a stack? What quality, specifically, does a queue have that led to a need for the circular array implementation? (You need to be specific here, but shouldn't require more than a sentence of two to answer this.) 2. You've seen that the dynamically-allocated array underlying a std::vector is resized periodically. Propose an algorithm for resizing the array used in the circular array implementation of a queue when it comes time to enqueue an element and the array is full. How much larger is your new array? How do the contents of your queue look different than before? 3. Assuming your algorithm was used to solve the problem of resizing the array when it's full, what is the amortized running time of the enqueue operation? (You may want to refer back to the Amortized Analysis lecture while you consider this.)
How would you design a stack which, in addition to push and pop, also has a function min which returns the minimum element? Push, pop and min should all operate in O(1) time. Your design (in pseudo code) should include a class Stack and three functions, i.e., push, pop, and min.
3. 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?
This question is in the course of Data Structures. Please choose C programming language for the code, and DO NOT include comments or extraneous information that a student typically would not need for a correct answer.Write a function that reserves a given stack using a temporary stack. You may use stack functions. I need that answer ASAP. Thank you so much!
Please explain, C programing Q# Is there a difference between the heap and stack memory? Selection the answer below: A. Yes, stack memory is automatically allocated and cleared when a function is called. The heap is otherwise managed by using malloc and free. B. No, they are identical.
