4. What is the worst case time in searching minimum value in weak -heap?
a) O(log n)
b) O(n)
c) O(n logn)
d) O(1)
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Weak heap is an array based form that supports the operation of finding a minimum in O(1).

5. The total comparisons in finding both smallest and largest elements are
a) 2*n +2
b) n + ((n+1)/2) -2
c) n+logn
d) n2
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The total comparisons in finding smallest and largest elements is n + ((n+1)/2) – 2.

6. What is the complexity of given function of insertion.

	insert(int n)
	{
		if(buffer_size()< maxi_biffer_size())
		buffer_aar[ind]==n;
		else
		move_to_heap(buffer,buffer+maxi_buffer_size())
	}

a) O(logn)
b) amortized O(1)
c) O(n)
d) O (n*logn)
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Use a buffer array to store a fixed number of elements when the buffer is full the content of buffer is moved to heap.As a result the complexity
is amotized O(1).

7. Does there exist a heap with seven distinct elements so that the Inorder traversal gives the element in sorted order.
a) Yes
b) No
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: No, The inorder traversal will not give elements in sorted order. As heap is implemented as either min-heap or max-heap, the root will be have highest or lowest value than remaining values of the nodes. So this traversal will not give a sorted list.

8. The leaf node for a heap of height h will be at which position.
a) h
b) h-1
c) h or h-1
d) h-2
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: A complete binary tree is also a heap so by the property of binary tree the leaf nodes will be must at height h or h-1.
