Chapter 1 Exercise Solutions EX 1.1.

Describe the hardware components of your personal computer or of a computer in a lab to which you have access. Include the processor type and speed, storage capacities of main and secondary memory, and types of I/O devices. Explain how you determined your answers. One possible description: Processor: Intel Celeron D, 2.53 GHz Main Memory: 2 GB SDRAM Secondary Memory: 500 GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive Peripherals: CD/DVD +/- RW, keyboard, mouse, 17" flat screen monitor, HP LaserJet printer To find the processor and memory information, I accessed the System Information from the control panel. To find the I/O devices, I looked in the device manager.

EX 1.2.

Why do we use the binary number system to store information on a computer? Devices that store and move information are less expensive and more reliable if they have to represent only one of two possible values or states.

EX 1.3.

How many unique items can be represented with each of the following?

a. 1 bit 2 items b. 3 bits 8 items c. 6 bits 64 items d. 8 bits 256 items e. 10 bits 1024 items f.

16 bits 16,348 items

EX 1.4.

If a picture is made up of 128 possible colors, how many bits would be needed to store each pixel of the picture? Why? Seven bits are needed to represent each pixel if each pixel can have up to 128 possible colors. This is because there are 128 distinct permutations of 7 bits.

EX 1.5.

If a language uses 240 unique letters and symbols, how many bits would be needed to store each character of a document? Why? Eight bits are needed to store each character of a document written in a language of 240 unique characters and symbols. Seven bits would be sufficient if there were only 128 different characters to represent. Eight bits is sufficient for 256 different characters.

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 1

Because 240 is greater than 128, but not greater than 256, at least 8 bits are needed if all characters are represented by the same number of bits. EX 1.6.

How many bits are there in each of the following? How many bytes are there in each?

a. 12 KB 12 KB = 12 x 1024 bytes = 12,288 bytes = 98,304 bits b. 5 MB 5 MB = 5 x 1,048,576 bytes = 5,242,880 bytes = 41,943,040 bits c. 3 GB 3 GB = 3 x 1,703,741,824 bytes = 5,111,225,472 bytes = 40,889,803,776 bits d. 2 TB 2 TB = 2 x 1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 2,199,023,255,552 bytes = approximately 1.76 x 13 10 bits EX 1.7.

Explain the difference between random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM). Both RAM and ROM are random access devices. RAM (Random Access Memory) can be written to and read from, but ROM (Read-Only Memory) can only be read from.

EX 1.8.

A disk is a random-access device but it is not RAM (random-access memory). Explain. The data on both can be accessed diretly (without reading intervening data). But RAM typically refers to a set of chips that make up main memory, whereas a disk is considered secondary memory. RAM is volatile, and a disk is not.

EX 1.9.

Determine how your computer, or a computer in a lab to which you have access, is connected to others across a network. Is it linked to the Internet? Draw a diagram to show the basic connections in your environment. The computers in our lab are connected to a local area network, which is connected to the Internet. (diagram not provided)

EX 1.10. Explain the differences between a local-area network (LAN) and a wide-area network (WAN). What is the relationship between them? A LAN is designed to span a short distance and to connect a relatively small number of computers. A WAN connects two or more LANs, typically across longer distances such as throughout a group of buildings. EX 1.11. What is the total number of communication lines needed for a fully connected point-to-point network of eight computers? Nine computers? Ten computers? What is a general formula for determining this result? Eight computers: 28 communication lines Nine computers: 36 communication lines Ten computers: 45 communication lines General formula for n computers: n(n-1)/2, which represents the sum of the numbers between 1 and n-1.

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 1

EX 1.12. Explain the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web. The Internet is a network of networks. The World Wide Web is based on a set of software applications that facilitates sharing of information across a network. EX 1.13. List and explain the parts of the URLs for: a. your school http://www.byu.edu, where http stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, which determines the way the browser should communicate; the machine referenced is www, a typical reference to a Web server; the domain is byu.edu where byu stands for Brigham Young University, and edu indicates that it is an educational institution. b. the Computer Science department of your school http://www.cs.byu.edu, in which cs refers to the subdomain within the larger byu.edu domain. So in this case the www machine refers to the standard web server designated by the cs department. c. your instructor's Web page http://www.cs.byu.edu/rpburton/info.html/, which refers to a specific file, rpburton/info.html, located on the computer science web server to be transferred to the user's browser for viewing. EX 1.14. Give examples of the two types of Java comments and explain the differences between them. One kind of comment begins with a double slash (//) and continues to the end of the line. A second kind of comment begins following an initiating slash-asterisk (/*) and terminates immediately preceding a terminating asterisk-slash (*/). The second type of comment can span multiple lines. EX 1.15. Which of the following are not valid Java identifiers? Why? a. Factorial Valid b. anExtremelyLongIdentifierIfYouAskMe Valid c. 2ndLevel Invalid because it begins with a digit d. level2 Valid e. MAX_SIZE Valid f.

highest$ Valid

g. hook&ladder Invalid because it contains an ampersand (&) EX 1.16. Why are the following valid Java identifiers not considered good identifiers?

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 1

a. q The identifier q is a meaningless name. b. totVal The idetnifier totalValue would be more meaningful than the abbreviation. c. theNextValueInTheList Unnecessarily lengthy; nextValue would serve as well. EX 1.17. Java is case sensitive. What does that mean? Uppercase characters are considered to be distinct from lowercase letters. Therefore the identifier HELLO is distinct from Hello which is distinct from hello. EX 1.18. What is a Java Virtual Machine? Explain its role. A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a software interpreter that executes Java bytecode. Since bytecode is a low-level representation of a program, but not tied to any particular hardware architecture, any computer with a JVM can execute Java code, no matter what machine it was compiled on. That makes Java architecture-neutral, and therefore highly portable. EX 1.19. What do we mean when we say that the English language is ambiguous? Give two examples of English ambiguity (other than the example used in this chapter) and explain the ambiguity. Why is ambiguity a problem for programming languages? Something is ambiguous if it has two or more possible meanings. For example, the statement, “Mary is the nicest teaching assistant who has helped me all day long” might mean 1) of all the teaching assistants who have helped me today, Mary is the nicest, or 2) of those teaching assistants who have helped me for an entire day, Mary is the nicest. As another example, the statement, “Bananas help those who help themselves” might mean 1) bananas are good for those who attend to their own welfare or 2) bananas are good for those who eat as many bananas as they please. If a programming language statement could be interpreted in two or more ways, it would be impossible to predict with certainty how it would be interpreted and what result would be produced. EX 1.20. Categorize each of the following situations as a compile-time error, run-time error, or logical error. a. multiplying two numbers when you meant to add them A logical error b. dividing by zero A run-time error c. forgetting a semicolon at the end of a programming statement A compile-time error d. spelling a word wrong in the output A logical error e. producing inaccurate results A logical error f.

typing a { when you should have typed (

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition A compile-time error

Chapter 2 Exercise Solutions EX 2.1.

What is the difference between the literals 4, 4.0, '4', and "4"? The literal 4 is an integer literal, with no fractional part. The literal 4.0 is a floating-point literal. The literal '4' reprsents the digit as a character. Using double quotes in the literal "4" make it a String literal. The first three are primitive literals. The last one represents a String object.

EX 2.2.

Explain the following programming statement in terms of objects and the services they provide. System.out.println("I gotta be me!"); The System.out object has a println method which accepts a string, enclosed in parentheses and quotation marks, which it displays on the monitor.

EX 2.3.

What output is produced by the following code fragment? Explain. System.out.print("Here we go!"); System.out.println("12345"); System.out.print("Test this if you are not sure."); System.out.print("Another."); System.out.println(); System.out.println("All done."); The output produced is: Here we go!12345 Test this if you are not sure.Another. All done. After printing its data, the println method moves to the next line of output, whereas the print method does not. A println statement with no data has the effect of moving down to the next line.

EX 2.4.

What is wrong with the following program statement? How can it be fixed? System.out.println("To be or not to be, that is the question."); The string to be printed is not all on one line. The problem can be fixed by using the string concatenation operator (+) or by using a print statement for part of the string and a println statement for the remainder of the string.

EX 2.5.

What output is produced by the following statement? Explain. System.out.println("50 plus 25 is " + 50 + 25); The output produced is: 50 plus 25 is 5025 First the string “50 plus 25” is concatenated with the integer 50; since one of the operands associated with the “+” operator is a string, the result is a string. Then the string “50 plus 25 is 50” is concatenated with the integer 25, with similar results.

EX 2.6.

What is the output produced by the following statement? Explain. System.out.println("He thrusts his fists\n\tagainst" + " the post\nand still insists\n\the sees the \"ghost\"");

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 2

The output produced is: He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he sees the "ghost" Escape characters are used to go to the beginning of new lines (\n), to tab (\t), and to print quotation marks (\"). EX 2.7.

What value is contained in the integer variable size after the following statements are executed? size = 18; size = size + 12; size = size * 2; size = size / 4; The final value stored in size is 15.

EX 2.8.

What value is contained in the floating point variable depth after the following statements are executed? depth = 2.4; depth = 20 – depth * 4; depth = depth / 5; The final value stored in depth is 2.08.

EX 2.9.

What value is contained in the integer variable length after the following statements are executed? length = 5; length *= 2; length *= length; length /= 100; The final value stored in length is 1.

EX 2.10. Write four different program statements that increment the value of an integer variable total. total = total + 1; total += 1; total++; ++total; EX 2.11. Given the following declarations, what result is stored in each of the listed assignment statements? int iResult, num1 = 25, num2 = 40, num3 = 17, num4 = 5; double fResult, val1 = 17.0, val2 = 12.78; a. iResult = num1 / num4; iResult is assigned 5 b. fResult = num1 / num4;

Chapter 5 Exercise Solutions EX 5.1

What happens in the MinOfThree program if two or more of the values are equal? If exactly two of the values are equal, does it matter whether the equal values are lower or higher than the third? If two or more values are equal, the program still prints the lowest value. Because only less than comparisons are made, the comparison of two equal values produces a false result. If two values are equal, and lower than the third value, then one of the two lower but equal values is printed. If all three values are equal, then this value is printed. Which “version” of the equal value is irrelevant. If only two values are equal, it does not matter whether the third is lower or higher. The correct result is determined in either case. If the two equal values are lower than the third, then one of the two lower but equal values is printed. If the two equal values are higher than the third, then the third value is printed.

EX 5.2

What is wrong with the following code fragment? Rewrite it so that it produces correct output. if (total == MAX) if (total < sum) System.out.println("total == MAX and < sum."); else System.out.println("total is not equal to MAX"); Despite the indentation, the else clause is associated with the immediately preceding if rather than the first if. The program will produce the correct output if it is rewritten as: if (total == MAX) { if (total < sum) System.out.println("total == MAX and < sum."); } else System.out.println("total is not equal to MAX");

EX 5.3

What is wrong with the following code fragment? Will this code compile if it is part of an otherwise valid program? Explain. if (length = MIN_LENGTH) System.out.println("The length is minimal."); The assignment operator (=) is used erroneously in place of the equality operator (==). Hence, it will not compile in an otherwise valid program.

What is wrong with the following code fragment? What are three distinct ways it could be changed to remove the flaw? count = 50;

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 5

while (count >= 0) { System.out.println(count); count = count + 1; } The loop is infinite because count initially is greater than zero, and continues to increase in value. The flaw can be removed by (1) decrementing rather than incrementing count, (2) initializing count to 0 and using, as the condition of the while loop, count <= 50, and (3) picking an upper limit and using, as the condition of the while loop, count <= upperLimit.

EX 7.10. Discuss the manner in which Java passes parameters to a method. Is this technique consistent between primitive types and objects? Explain. Java passes all parameters by value. This means that the current value of the actual parameter is copied into the formal parameter in the method header. This technique is consistent between primitive types and objects because object references rather than objects themselves are passed. When an object (actually, an object reference) is passed, the current value of the reference (the object's address) is copied into the corresponding formal parameter in the method header. EX 7.11.

Explain why a static method cannot refer to an instance variable. A static method is invoked through a class rather than through an object of the class. No object of the class needs to be instantiated in order to invoke a static method. If no object is instantiated, no instance variable exists. Hence, a static method cannot refer to an instance variable.

EX 7.12. Can a class implement two interfaces that each contains the same method signature? Explain. Yes. The class which implements an interface provides method implementations for each of the abstract methods defined in the interface. In satisfying the requirements for a method of one interface, it simultaneously satisfies the requirements for a method with the same signature in another interface. EX 7.13. Create an interface called Visible that includes two methods: makeVisible and makeInvisible. Both methods should take no parameters and should return a boolean result. Describe how a class might implement this interface. public interface Visible { public boolean makeVisible(); public boolean makeInvisible(); } A class implementing Visible would include an implements clause in the class header, such as: public class ControlPanel implements Visible The class would contain, among other things, two methods with signatures that match those specified in the interface.

Both types of events can originate from any JavaFX node. The node must have the keyboard focus for key events to be recognized. Both types of events correspond to user actions, but not explicitly to visual controls on the screen per se. When either event happens, multiple events are generated: clicking the mouse button generates mouse pressed, mouse released, and mouse clicked events. Tying a keyboard key generates key pressed, key released, and key typed events. EX 7.19.

However, this is not the preferred technique. This declaration creates an array object. int[] scores = int[30]; Invalid; the right hand side of the assignment operator must contain either an initializer list or a new operation. int[] primes = new {2,3,5,7,11}; Invalid; “new” on the right hand side of the assignment operator is neither necessary nor acceptable. int[] scores = new int[30]; Valid; the assignment is correct Java syntax. This declaration creates an array object. char grades[] = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'f'}; Valid; the brackets can be placed either after the element type or after the reference variable. However, this is not the preferred technique. This declaration creates an array object. char[] grades = new char[]; Invalid; the size of the array must be indicated when the array is instantiated.

For example, where is myArray[25] stored in memory? The elements of an array are stored contiguously in memory. The name of an array, such as myArray, is a reference to an object that stores the beginning of that data in memory. To compute the address of a particular element, the address of the first data element is multiplied by the index (25) and the size of the array element. That is why array indexes begin at zero.

Describe a program for which you would use the ArrayList class instead of arrays to implement choices. Describe a program for which you would use arrays instead of the ArrayList class. Explain your choices. A program associated with a mail order Website for backpacks would use an object of the ArrayList class to implement the choices of colors of the backpacks because the colors and number of colors change with the seasons and as colors gain and lose popularity. An object of the ArrayList class can grow and shrink dynamically to accommodate these changes. A program associated with a personal day planner, with entries possible for each hour of the day, would use an array object to implement the choices for each hour of the day because the number of hours in a day, and hence the number of hours for which choices can be made for any given day, never changes. There is no need for the array object to grow or shrink to accommodate a larger or smaller number of hours. EX 8.12. The Dots program listens for a mouse pressed event to draw a dot. How would the program behave differently if it listened for a mouse released event instead? A mouse clicked event? If the program listened instead for a mouse released event, the position and appearance of the dot would be determined at the time of the release, and wouldn’t appear until the mouse button was released. Similarly, if the program listened for a mouse clicked event, the position and appearance of the dot would be determined at the time of a click (which requires a press followed by a release). EX 8.13. How would you modify the JukeBox program so that it will play the new song as soon as a combo box item is selected (without having to press the Play button)? Currently, the event handler processing the choice box selection only stops the current song and sets the new current song. To play a new song immediately when it's selected, the following line could be added at the end of the processChoice method: current.play(); EX 8.14. What program modifications would be necessary to add three more songs to the juke box? The program is largely data-driven, so the song names would have to be added to the names array and the corresponding audio files would have to be added to the audioFiles array.

But even in the absence of an explicit call, the parent's constructor is called when the child class is instantiated.

That way, each class can have a definition of purchase that makes sense for it, as opposed to the computeTax method, which is implemented in Sale and used by all child classes as is. A program that manages the sales transactions as they occur could then conduct the transaction by making a polymorphic call to purchase no matter what the transaction type is. EX 10.4. What would happen if the pay method were not defined as an abstract method in the StaffMember class of the Firm program? By defining the pay method in StaffMember, all child classes must implement it (or be abstract themselves). So if pay were not defined in StaffMember, the child classes would not have to implement it and the ability to pay all staff members through a polymorphic reference would not exist. It is only by formally establishing that all children of StaffMember have a pay method that makes it safe to pay them all. EX 10.5. Describe a property binding that you could set up other than the examples used in this chapter. You could bind the property representing the end point of a horizontal line to the width of the scene so that the line is always long enough to span the scene. EX 10.6. Write a statement that would bind the property representing the radius of a Circle object to the property representing the value in a slider. myCircle.radiusProperty().bind(mySlider.valueProperty());

EX 11.2. What would happen if the try statement were removed from the level1 method of the ExceptionScope class in the Propagation program? If the try statement were removed from the level1 method, the ArithmeticException, when thrown, would propagate to the main method (which called the level1 method). Since there is no try statement in the main method, the program would terminate, producing the message associated with the exception. EX 11.3. What would happen if the try statement described in the previous exercise were moved to the level2 method? If the try statement were moved from the level1 method to the level2 method, the exception thrown in level3 would propogate only to level2, where it would be caught and handled. The level2 method would then be allowed to finish execution. EX 11.4. Look up the following exception classes in the online Java API documentation and describe their purpose: a. ArithmeticException This exception is thrown when an exceptional arithmetic condition occurs, such as dividing by zero. b. NullPointerException This exception is (most commonly) thrown when attempting to call an instance method of a null reference. It occurs in other situations as well, such as attempting to throw a null reference. c. NumberFormatException This exception is thrown when an application attempts to convert a string into a numeric value, but the string does not have the proper format. d. PatterSyntaxException This exception is thrown when a syntax error occurs in the pattern of a regular expression. EX 11.5. Other than the examples discussed in this chapter, describe a situation in which you might disable control(s) to help guide user actions. You might disable a button used to move to the next step of a process until the current step has been completed or until the data being requested is filled in and validated.

EX 11.6. Explain how the functionality of the FoodImages program would change if the property binding was removed. The property binding binds the width of the image view to the width of the pane in which the image is displayed. So if that properyt binding wasn't set up, the image size would dictate the window size, which might vary from one image to the next.

EX 12.3. Write a recursive definition of i * j (integer multiplication), where i > 0. Define the multiplication process in terms of integer addition. For example, 4 * 7 is equal to 7 added to itself 4 times. 1*j=j i * j = j + (i-1) * j for i > 1 EX 12.4. Write a recursive definition of the Fibonacci numbers. The Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of integers, each of which is the sum of the previous two numbers. The first two numbers in the sequence are 0 and 1. Explain why you would not normally use recursion to solve this problem. Fib(0) = 0 Fib(1) = 1 Fib(j) = Fib(j-1) + Fib(j-2) for j > 1 You would not normally use recursion to solve this problem because the iterative solution is straightforward and the recursive version is inefficient. Calculating a Fibonacci number less than Fib(j-1) would be calculated at least twice in order to calculate Fib(j). The recalculation of each such number would lead to the further recalculation of other Fibonacci numbers with the accompanying inefficiency. EX 12.5. Modify the method that calculates the sum of the integers between 1 and N shown in this chapter. Have the new version match the following recursive definition: The sum of 1 to N is the sum of 1 to (N/2) plus the sum of (N/2 + 1) to N. Trace your solution using an N of 7. // Computes the sum of the numbers between n1 and n2 (inc) public int sum(int n1, int n2) { int result; if (n2-n1 == 0) result = n1; else {

Explain why you would not normally use recursion to solve this problem. public int factorial(int num) { int result; if (num == 1) result = 1; else result = num * factorial(num - 1); return result; } You would not normally use recursion to solve this problem because it can be done more efficiently using iteration and because the recursive solution it no more intuitive than the iterative solution.

giving examples of a path that was tried but failed, a path that was never tried, and the ultimate solution. A new maze could be generated with nested for loops which randomly place either a 1 or a 0 in each cell of a two-dimensional array. Because the likelihood of generating a maze with a solution is generally low, subsequent mazes could be generated using a while loop until a maze with a solution is generated. A maze with a solution could be hard-coded with the following statement: private int [][] grid = {{1,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1}, {1,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1}}; After the search arrives at position (5,0), it attempts position (6,0). Encountering a 0 causes this path to fail. It then attempts position (5,1) which succeeds. Subsequently, position (6,1) fails and position (5,2) succeeds.Because the maze is traversed successfully from position (5,2), no attempt is ever made to find a path from position (4,1). The following grid shows the solution path marked with 7s. 7 0 1 0 1 1 7 7 7 7 0 1 0 1 0 7 0 7 7 0 1 0 1 0 7 0 7 7 0 1 0 1 0 7 0 7 7 0 1 0 1 0 7 0 7 7 7 7 0 1 0 7 0 7 0 0 7 0 1 0 7 0 7 1 0 7 0 1 0 7 0 7 1 0 7 0 1 0 7 0 7 1 0 7 0 1 0 7 0 7 1 0 7 7 7 7 7 0 7 EX 12.9.

Chapter 13 Exercise Solutions EX 13.1. Suppose current is a reference to a Node object and that it currently refers to a specific node in a linked list. Show, in pseudocode, the steps that would delete the node following current from the list. Carefully consider the cases in which current is referring to the first and last nodes in the list. if current.next is not null then current.next = current.next.next; endIf Must check for current pointing to the last node in the list (so we don't follow a null reference). In this case, current pointing to the first node in the list is not a special case. EX 13.2. Modify your answer to Exercise 13.1 assuming that the list was set up as a doubly linked list, with both next and prev references. if current.next is not null then current.next = current.next.next; if current.next is not null then current.next.prev = current; endIf endIf EX 13.3. Suppose current and newNode are references to Node objects. Assume current currently refers to a specific node in a linked list and newNode refers to an unattached Node object. Show, in pseudocode, the steps that would insert newNode behind current in the list. Carefully consider the cases in which current is referring to the first and last nodes in the list. newNode.next = current.next; current.next = newNode; The situations of current pointing to the first or last nodes in the list are not special cases for this operation. EX 13.4. Modify your answer to Exercise 13.3 assuming that the list was set up as a doubly linked list, with both next and prev references. newNode.prev = current; newNode.next = current.next; if current.next is not null then current.next.prev = newNode; endIf current.next = newNode; EX 13.5. Would the front and rear references in the header node of a linked list ever refer to the same node? Would they ever both be null? Would one ever be null if the other was not? Explain your answers using examples. The front and rear references in the header node of a linked list would refer to the same node if the list consists of only a single node. They would both be null if the list were empty. One would never be null if the other were not. For example, if the linked list consisted of a single node containing the string “William” and a null next reference (since there is no successor node), both the front and rear references would contain reference

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

this node. If the node containing “William” were deleted, both the front and rear references would be set to null. It is impossible to have a list which has a front, but no rear or a rear but no front, thus it is impossible for one reference to be null and the other not. EX 13.6. Show the contents of a queue after the following operations are performed.

In terms of the final state of a queue, does it matter how dequeue operations are intermixed with enqueue operations? Does it matter how the enqueue operations are intermixed among themselves? Explain using examples. In terms of the final state of a queue, as long as the number of dequeue opertions does not exceed the number of enqueue operations, the intermixing of these operations does not matter. It does matter, however, how the enqueue operations are intermixed among themselves; an item which arrives earlier moves closer to the front of the queue than an item which arrives later.

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 13

As an example of intermixing enqueue and dequeue operations, consider enqueuing six integers such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 and then dequeuing half of them. The resulting queue contains 7, 11, and 13. Alternatively, suppose that the same six integers are enqueued, but every time two integers are enqueued, one is dequeued. The resulting queue contains 7, 11, and 13. Of course, this does not prove than the intermixing of dequeue and enqueue operations is inconsequential; it merely shows that it is inconsequential in this case. On the other hand, if the enqueue operations are intermixed among themselves, such as enqueuing the 13 first and the 2 last (instead of 2 first and 13 last), the resulting queue would contain 7, 11, and 2 (instead of 7, 11, and 13). This single case is sufficient to prove that the intermixing of enqueue operations matters. EX 13.8. Show the contents of a stack after the following operations are performed. Assume the stack is initially empty. push(45); 45 push(12); 45 12 push(28); 45 12 28 pop(); 45 12 pop(); 45 push(69); 45 69 push(27); 45 69 27 push(99); 45 69 27 99 pop(); 45 69 27 push(24); 45 69 27 24 push(85); 45 69 27 24 85 push(16); 45 69 27 24 85 16 pop(); 45 69 27 24 85 EX 13.9. In terms of the final state of a stack, does it matter how the pop operations are intermixed with the push operations? Does it matter how the push operations are intermixed among themselves? Explain using examples.

Java Software Solutions, 9 Edition

Exercise Solutions, Ch. 13

In terms of the final state of a stack, the number of pop operations must not exceed the number of push operations, and the intermixing of pop and push operations matters. How the push operations are intermixed among themselves also matters. For example, suppose the six integers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 are pushed onto a stack, and then three integers are popped off the stack. The resulting stack contains 2, 3, and 5. Alternatively, suppose that the same six integers are pushed onto the stack, put every time 2 integers are pushed onto the stack, one is popped. The resulting stack contains 2, 5, and 11. This single illustration is sufficient to prove that the intermixing of push and pop operations matters. Similarly, if the 13 is pushed onto the stack first and the 2 is pushed onto the stack last (instead of the 2 first and the 13 last), with no popping, the 2 is at the top of the stack and the 13 is at the bottom of the stack (instead of the 2 at the bottom and the 13 at the top). Again, this single example is sufficient to prove that the intermixing of push operations among themselves matters. EX 13.10. Would a tree data structure be a good choice to represent a family tree that shows lineage? Why or why not? Would a binary tree be a better choice? Why or why not? A binary tree would be a good choice to represent a family tree that shows lineage (ancestors). Everyone you know has exactly two biological parents, as does each of their ancestors, making a binary tree a natural choice. A tree, on the other hand, would not be a particularly good choice, because tree nodes often are designed to accommodate a variable number of references. In this example, the number of references needed is known; it is exactly two. Further, a tree typically is represented as the corresponding binary tree, with some accompanying overhead, so it makes sense to “cut to the chase” when there is no intuitive loss in the representation. EX 13.11. What data structure would be a good choice to represent the links between various web sites of the World Wide Web? Give an example. A digraph (directed graph) would be a good choice to represent the links between various web sites of the World Wide Web. For example, a university’s web site might link to all the department’s web sites, and each of those might link to all of the faculty members web sites in that department. A particular faculty web site might link to a spouse’s web site which links to a son’s web site and back to the faculty member's web site. A linear list cannot accommodate such a complex linking structure. A tree does not accommodate paths that circle their way back to a particular node. A graph accommodates paths than make their way back to a particular node, but a graph assumes that bidirectional links (so if one page A links to page B, then page B links to page A, which may not be the case). Therefore a digraph, with its edges that go in one direction, would be the best choice.
