    Which is not a primitive data type?

    • Stack

    • Int

    • Char

    • Float

    Correct Answer
    A. Stack
    Explanation
    The data types int, char, and float are all primitive data types in programming. They are built-in data types that are provided by the programming language itself. However, "Stack" is not a primitive data type. It is a data structure that can be implemented using primitive data types. A stack is a collection of elements that follows the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, and it can be implemented using arrays or linked lists. Therefore, "Stack" is the correct answer as it is not a primitive data type.

    Rate this question:

    A queue is a,

    • FIFO (First In First Out) list.

    • LIFO (Last In First Out) list.

    • Ordered array.

    • Linear tree.

    Correct Answer
    A. FIFO (First In First Out) list.
    Explanation
    A queue is a data structure that follows the FIFO (First In First Out) principle, meaning that the element that is inserted first will be the first one to be removed. This is similar to a queue of people waiting in line, where the person who arrives first will be the first one to leave the line. Therefore, the correct answer is FIFO (First In First Out) list.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A queue is a,

    • FIFO (First In First Out) list.

    • LIFO (Last In First Out) list.

    • Ordered array.

    • Linear tree.

    Correct Answer
    A. FIFO (First In First Out) list.
    Explanation
    A queue operates on the principle of FIFO (First In First Out), meaning that the item that is added first is the one that will be removed first. This is similar to a line of people waiting for a service, where the person who arrived first will be served first. In a queue, new elements are added at the rear end and removed from the front end, maintaining the order in which they were added. Therefore, the correct answer is FIFO (First In First Out) list.

    Which of the following data structure is linear data structure?  

    • Trees

    • Graphs

    • Arrays

    • None of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrays
    Explanation
    Arrays are linear data structures because they store elements in a sequential manner. Each element in an array is assigned a unique index, starting from 0, that represents its position in the array. This allows for efficient access to elements using their index. Additionally, arrays have a fixed size, meaning that elements are stored in contiguous memory locations, which enables efficient memory allocation and retrieval.

    Binary search tree is also called two way search tree

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A binary search tree is a type of data structure where each node has at most two children, a left child and a right child. It is called a "two way search tree" because it allows for efficient searching in both directions. In a binary search tree, the left child of a node contains a smaller value than the node itself, while the right child contains a larger value. This property allows for quick searching by comparing the target value with the current node and traversing either left or right based on the comparison result. Hence, the statement "Binary search tree is also called two way search tree" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Linked list
    Explanation
    A linked list is a linear collection of data elements where each element, called a node, contains a pointer that points to the next node in the list. This allows for efficient insertion and deletion of elements at any position in the list. Therefore, the correct answer is "linked list."

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Binary search tree is also called two way search tree

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A binary search tree is a type of data structure where each node has at most two children, a left child and a right child. It is called a "binary" search tree because it follows a specific ordering property, where the value of each node is greater than all values in its left subtree and less than all values in its right subtree. This ordering property allows for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion operations. The term "two-way search tree" is another name for a binary search tree, emphasizing the ability to search in both directions, from the root to the leaves and vice versa. Therefore, the statement that a binary search tree is also called a two-way search tree is true.

    What is the symbol of decrement

    Correct Answer
    --
    Explanation
    The symbol "--" is commonly used to represent the decrement operation in programming languages. It is used to decrease the value of a variable by 1. For example, if we have a variable x with an initial value of 5, using the decrement operator "--" on x would result in x being equal to 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    A subscript/index must be an integer or integer expression (using any integral type).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because a subscript or index in programming is used to access elements in an array or collection, and it must be an integer or an expression that evaluates to an integer. This is because arrays are stored in memory as contiguous blocks, and the index is used to calculate the memory address of the desired element. Using a non-integer value or expression would not result in a valid memory address and would lead to an error.

    Stack is work on the principal of

    • LILO

    • FIFO

    • FILO

    • LIFO

    Correct Answer
    A. LIFO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is LIFO, which stands for Last In, First Out. This means that the last element added to the stack will be the first one to be removed. In a stack, elements are added and removed from the top only, and the order in which they are added determines the order in which they are accessed. This concept is commonly used in programming and data structures, where the most recently added data is often the most relevant or needs to be processed first.

    1.44 log n is the worst case height of an AVL tree.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree where the heights of the left and right subtrees differ by at most 1. The worst-case height of an AVL tree is given by the formula 1.44 log n, where n is the number of nodes in the tree. This means that as the number of nodes increases, the height of the AVL tree grows logarithmically. Therefore, the statement "1.44 log n is the worst case height of an AVL tree" is true.

    Stack is work on the principal of

    • LILO

    • FIFO

    • FILO

    • LIFO

    Correct Answer
    A. LIFO
    Explanation
    The correct answer is LIFO because a stack follows the Last-In-First-Out principle. This means that the last element added to the stack will be the first one to be removed. It is similar to a stack of plates, where the last plate added is the first one to be taken off when you remove them one by one. In programming, a stack is a data structure that allows operations like push (adding an element) and pop (removing an element) in a specific order, following the LIFO principle.

    An algorithm that calls itself directly or indirectly is known as

    • Sub algorithm

    • Recursion

    • Polish notation

    • Traversal algorithm

    Correct Answer
    A. Recursion
    Explanation
    Recursion is the correct answer because an algorithm that calls itself directly or indirectly is known as recursion. In recursion, a function solves a problem by calling itself as a subroutine, which allows the problem to be broken down into smaller subproblems. This process continues until a base case is reached, at which point the function stops calling itself and returns the results. Recursion is commonly used in programming to solve problems that can be divided into smaller, similar subproblems.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true. When an array is declared with the keyword "static" and without any explicit initialization, all the elements of the array will be automatically initialized to 0 the first time it is called. Therefore, in this case, each element of the array "array1" will be initialized to 0.

    [ ] and ( ) have the highest precedence

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in most programming languages, square brackets [ ] and parentheses ( ) have the highest precedence. This means that any operations or expressions enclosed within these symbols will be evaluated first before any other operations. This is important for maintaining the correct order of operations in mathematical expressions or accessing elements in arrays or lists.

    When passing an array to a function, the array size is normally passed as well, so the function can process the specific number of elements in the array.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When passing an array to a function, it is important to pass the array size as well. This is because the function needs to know the specific number of elements in the array in order to process it correctly. Without knowing the size, the function may not be able to access or manipulate the array elements accurately, leading to errors or unexpected behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to pass the array size along with the array itself when calling a function.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    The value of the name of the array is the address in the computer’s memory of the first element of the array.Because the starting address of the array is passed, the called function knows precisely where the array is stored in memory.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The value of the name of the array being the address in the computer's memory of the first element of the array is true. This is because when an array is declared, it is stored in contiguous memory locations. The name of the array acts as a pointer to the first element, so when the array is passed to a function, the function can access and manipulate the array by using the starting address.

    A multidimensional array is declared as such:int array[ [] ];

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false because when declaring a multidimensional array, the size of each dimension needs to be specified. In the given statement, the size of the array dimensions is not provided, which makes it invalid. The correct syntax for declaring a multidimensional array would be something like "int array[][]" or "int array[3][4]" where the size of each dimension is specified.

     Which data structure allows deleting data elements from front and inserting at rear?

    • Stacks

    • Queues

    • Deques

    • Binary search tree

    Correct Answer
    A. Queues
    Explanation
    Queues are a data structure that allows deleting data elements from the front and inserting at the rear. In a queue, the first element that is inserted is the first one to be removed, following the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle. This makes queues suitable for scenarios where the order of insertion and removal is important, such as processing tasks or handling requests in a sequential manner. Stacks, on the other hand, follow the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle, where the last element inserted is the first one to be removed. Deques (Double-ended queues) allow insertion and deletion from both ends, while binary search trees are used for efficient searching and sorting operations.

    Pass by reference means that the calling function can read and write to the original values.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Pass by reference is a method in programming where a function can access and modify the original values of variables passed to it. This means that any changes made to the variables within the function will also affect the original values outside of the function. Therefore, the statement "Pass by reference means that the calling function can read and write to the original values" is true.

    Which of the following is an array declaration with initalizers

    • Int n[ 10 ];

    • Int *n;

    • Int &n = 10;

    • Int n[10] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

    Correct Answer
    A. Int n[10] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "int n[10] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };" because it declares an array named "n" with a size of 10 and initializes it with the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This syntax is used to declare and initialize an array in a single line. The other options either declare an array without initializing it (int n[10];), declare a pointer (int *n;), or declare a reference (int &n = 10;) which is not valid syntax for array declaration with initializers.

    • 0(1)

    • O(log n)

    • 0(n log n)

    Correct Answer
    A. 0(n)
    Explanation
    The time complexity of linear search is O(n) because in the worst case scenario, the algorithm needs to iterate through the entire list of n elements to find the desired element. This means that the time taken to execute the algorithm grows linearly with the size of the input.

    Concept of array employes Wastage of memory 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The concept of array employees can lead to wastage of memory because arrays have a fixed size and if the number of employees is less than the size of the array, the remaining memory allocated for the array will be wasted. This can be inefficient in terms of memory utilization. Therefore, the statement "concept of array employees Wastage of memory" is true.

    Which data structure is needed to convert infix notation to postfix notation?

    • Branch

    • Queue

    • Tree

    • Stack

    Correct Answer
    A. Stack
    Explanation
    To convert infix notation to postfix notation, a stack data structure is needed. In infix notation, operators are placed between operands, whereas in postfix notation, operators are placed after their operands. To convert infix to postfix, we scan the infix expression from left to right and use a stack to store operators. When we encounter an operator, we compare its precedence with the top of the stack. If the operator has higher precedence, we push it onto the stack. If the operator has lower precedence, we pop the operators from the stack and append them to the postfix expression until we find an operator with lower precedence or an opening parenthesis. This process continues until the entire infix expression is scanned.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    Highest precedence is

    • *

    • -

    • +

    • ^

    Correct Answer
    A. ^
    Explanation
    The given answer is "^". In mathematical operations, the caret symbol (^) represents exponentiation, which has the highest precedence among the given operators. This means that any expression involving exponentiation should be evaluated first before any other operations like multiplication (*), subtraction (-), or addition (+). Therefore, the correct answer is "^" because it has the highest precedence.

    A full binary tree with n leaves contains

    • N nodes.

    • Log n 2 nodes.

    • 2n –1 nodes.

    • n 2 nodes.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2n –1 nodes.
    Explanation
    A full binary tree is a binary tree in which every node has either 0 or 2 children. In a full binary tree with n leaves, each leaf node represents a unique element, and each internal node represents an operation or a function. Since each internal node has 2 children, the total number of nodes in the tree can be calculated as 2n - 1, where n is the number of leaves. Therefore, the correct answer is 2n – 1 nodes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stack implementation Error
    Explanation
    Stack implementation error refers to a situation where there is an overflow condition in the stack. This means that the stack has reached its maximum capacity and cannot accept any more elements. This error occurs when attempting to push an element onto a full stack, causing the stack to overflow. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "Stack implementation Error".

    • Syntax Error

    Correct Answer
    A. Stack implementation Error
    Explanation
    Stack implementation error refers to a situation where the stack data structure is not implemented correctly, leading to an overflow condition. This means that the stack has reached its maximum capacity and cannot accept any more elements. It is a mistake in the way the stack is designed or implemented, rather than an error in the abstract data type (ADT) itself. This error can occur due to various reasons such as incorrect size allocation, improper handling of push and pop operations, or failure to check for overflow conditions.
