Calculate the absolute value for each row vector of the matrix in a programming language of your choice. Example:$$\left(\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 2 \\ 4 & 4 \\ 6 & 5\end{array}\right)\qquad \Rightarrow \qquad\texttt{calcAbsRowVector}\qquad \Rightarrow \qquad\left(\begin{array}{c} 2.82 \\ 5.65 \\ 7.81\end{array}\right)$$ \subsection{Merging and Sorting}Let $A$ and $B$ be two arrays of $n$ (unsorted) integer entries each. Writea function that merges both arrays into a \emph{sorted} array of $2\dot n$entries. Example:$$\begin{array}{lcl} A & = & [2, 7, 5, 34]\\ B & = & [3, 48, 4, 72]\\ \hline C & = & [2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 34, 48, 72]\\\end{array}$$ \subsection{Recursion} Consider a herd of cows. Write a \emph{recursive} function to calculate thesum of all legs. Use addition only (no multiplication allowed). \ifdefined\loesung\subsection{Loesung}\verbatiminput{todten/GSDSolution.java}\fi \section{Algorithms and Data Structures} \subsection{In-situ List Reversal}Describe an algorithm to reverse a singly-linked list that \emph{does not}copy any memory cells. \ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: Maintain three pointers following each other: current, next, and previous. The first pointer is one element ahead of the second. Reverse each pointer as you you.}\fi \subsection{Preorder Tree Traversal}Consider the following tree and state the \emph{preorder} and \emph{inorder} traversal.\begin{verbatim} 5 / \ 7 4 \ / \ 1 2 9\end{verbatim}Which data structure do you need to implement such a traversal?\ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: Preorder: 5, 7, 1, 4, 2, 9; Inorder: 7, 1, 5, 2, 4, 9. Such traversals are implemented using a stack (explicitly or implicitly using a recursive traversal)}\fi \subsection{Breadth-First-Search}What is the BFS traversal of the tree above? Which data structure is needed to implementsuch a traversal?\ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: BFS: 5, 7, 4, 1, 2, 9. You need a queue to implement BFS.}\fi \section{Networking}\subsection{Protocol Stacks}Explain the major differences between the network protocols UDP, TCP and IP. \ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: UDP is connectionless, offers no error correction etc., data is sent directly without handshake, typically used for real-time protocols. TCP is connection-oriented, offers error correction, flow control (also congestion control), bidirectional reliable data transfer. IP is on a different layer (Layer 3 / network layer) compared to TCP and UDP (Layer 4 / transport layer), IP is connectionless transports datagrams between endpoints, supports routing etc.}\fi \subsection{TCP Characteristics}Fill the gaps with appropriate values for the corresponding TCP header fields: \begin{figure}[htb] \includegraphics[width=0.9\columnwidth]{images/tcp-handshake-and-flowcontrol.png}\end{figure} \ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: 2: Flags = SYN+ACK, 3: Flags = ACK, 5: ACK = sa+900, Data-Length = 400 (according to ACK in 7), 6: SEQ = sa+900, Data-Length = 100 (due to limit in (Receive) Window Size), 7: sa+1000.}\fi \subsection{Network Addresses}Insert the Layer 2 and Layer 3 addresses used the following transfer from Computer A to Computer B. How many IP addresses can exist in the subnet Computer B is placed in? What is the network address of this subnet? \begin{figure}[htb] \includegraphics[width=0.9\columnwidth]{images/mac-address.png}\end{figure} \ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: Source IP: 1.1.1.10 (not 1.1.1.10/24), Destination IP: 2.2.15.100 (not 2.2.15.100/21), Source MAC: 11:22:33:44:55:66, Destination MAC: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (not 33:44:55:66:77:88). Number of hosts in /21 IPv4 subnet = 2046 ($2^{32-21}-2$). Network address of the IP subnet of Computer B: 2.2.8.0/21.}\fi \section{Regular Expressions and Shells}\subsection{Regular Expression}Explain the following regex:\begin{verbatim}^(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\$ \end{verbatim} \ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: This regex describes well-formatted IPv4 addresses. Number of repetitions given in braces, Question mark for optional choices, brackets denote ranges.}\fi \subsection{Extract Lines}Write a shell command to extract lines number 101-110 from a file {\tt a.txt} andoutput them (numerically sorted) to file {\tt b.txt}.\ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: {\tt cat a.txt | head -110 | tail -10 | sort -n > b.txt}}\fi \subsection{Large Files}Write a shell command to find the file with the most number of lines inthe current directory.\ifdefined\loesung\textcolor{red}{ {\bf Solution}: {\tt wc -l * | sort -nr} is key. One might get rid of the \emph{total} line count and access the file name only. Optional.}\fi \section{Databases}%------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \subsection{SQL statements}%------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write down the results of the following SQL statements on table T.\begin{quote}\begin{tabular}[t]{l|l|l|l}T & A & B & C \\\hline & 1 & blue & 10 \\ & 2 & blue & 40 \\ & 3 & pink & 30 \\ & 4 & orange & 10 \\ & 5 & orange & 20 \\ & 6 & orange & 50 \\ & 7 & orange & 50 \\ & 8 & black & 50 \\ & 9 & black & 40 \\ & 10 & violet & 10 \\ & 11 & violet & 20 \\ & 12 & violet & 10 \\\end{tabular}\end{quote} \begin{description} \item[a.)] {\tt SELECT B, COUNT(*) FROM T GROUP BY B HAVING SUM(C)<=40} \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}[t]{|p{2.5cm}|p{2.5cm}|} \hline B & COUNT(*) \\ \hline \hline \ifdefined\loesung \textcolor{red}{pink} & \textcolor{red}{1} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{violet} & \textcolor{red}{3} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{} & \textcolor{red}{} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{} & \textcolor{red}{} \\[0.3cm] \else & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \fi \hline \end{tabular} \end{quote} \item[b.)] {\tt SELECT B, COUNT(*) FROM T WHERE C>35 \\GROUP BY B HAVING COUNT(*)>=2} \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}[t]{|p{2.5cm}|p{2.5cm}|} \hline B & COUNT(*) \\ \hline \hline \ifdefined\loesung \textcolor{red}{orange} & \textcolor{red}{2} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{black} & \textcolor{red}{2} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{} & \textcolor{red}{} \\[0.3cm] \hline \textcolor{red}{} & \textcolor{red}{} \\[0.3cm] \else & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \hline & \\[0.3cm] \fi \hline \end{tabular} \end{quote}\end{description} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \subsection{Constraints \& Integrity}%------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following table definition with integrity constraints are given.\begin{quote}{\tt\begin{tabbing}CREATE TABLE T1 (\=A INT, B INT, C INT,\\\>CONSTRAINT T1\_PS PRIMARY KEY (A,B),\\\>CONSTRAINT T1\_SK UNIQUE (C));\\\\CREATE TABLE T2 (A INT, B INT, C INT, D INT, E INT,\\\>CONSTRAINT T2\_PS PRIMARY KEY (A),\\\>CONSTRAINT T2\_FS1 FOREIGN KEY (B,C) REFERENCES T1(A,B),\\\>CONSTRAINT T2\_FS2 FOREIGN KEY (D) REFERENCES T1(C),\\\>CONSTRAINT T2\_E\_NN CHECK (E IS NOT NULL),\\\>CONSTRAINT T2\_E\_13 CHECK (E BETWEEN 1 AND 3)); \\\end{tabbing}}\end{quote}The table T1 and T2 contain the following tuples.
