\section{Programming}
|
|
\subsection{Row Vectors}
|
|
Consider an $n\times m$ matrix. Calculate the absolute value for each row vector of the matrix in a programming language of your choice. Example:
|
|
$$
|
|
\left(\begin{array}{cc}
|
|
2 & 2 \\ 4 & 4 \\ 6 & 5
|
|
\end{array}\right)
|
|
\qquad \Rightarrow \qquad\texttt{calcAbsRowVector}\qquad \Rightarrow \qquad
|
|
\left(\begin{array}{c}
|
|
2.82 \\ 5.65 \\ 7.81
|
|
\end{array}\right)
|
|
$$
|
|
\ifdefined\loesung
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
Musterloesung here
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\fi
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Merging and Sorting}
|
|
Let $A$ and $B$ be two arrays of $n$ (unsorted) integer entries each. Write
|
|
a function that merges both arrays into a \emph{sorted} array of $2\dot n$
|
|
entries. Example:
|
|
$$
|
|
\begin{array}{lcl}
|
|
A & = & [2, 7, 5, 34]\\
|
|
B & = & [3, 48, 4, 72]\\
|
|
\hline
|
|
C & = & [2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 34, 48, 72]\\
|
|
\end{array}
|
|
$$
|
|
|
|
\ifdefined\loesung
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
Musterloesung here
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\fi
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Recursion}
|
|
|
|
Consider a herd of cows. Write a \emph{recursive} function to calculate the
|
|
sum of all legs. Use addition only (no multiplication allowed).
|
|
|
|
\ifdefined\loesung

\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
|
|
{\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
|
|
{\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 implement
|
|
such a traversal?
|
|
\ifdefined\loesung
|
|
{\bf Solution}: BFS: 5, 7, 4, 1, 2, 9. You need a queue to implement BFS.
