Explanation of Solution

Difference between sequential access and random access:

Sequential accessRandom Access

Files are processed in sequential order.

Files are processed in random order.

If the records are needed to be accessed in sequential order, sequential file access is used.

If the files are needed to access in random order, random file access technique is much faster.

In sequential access, the file pointer moves only in one direction...

What Is  iteration?
sum= 0; for (int i = 0; i 1) { sum++; i= 1/2; } = 2*log2 (n) We denote by Ta(n), Tb (n), Te(n) the running time of the three fragments. 1. Give evaluations for Ta(n), Tb (n), Te(n). 2. Is T(n) = O(Ta(n)) ? Answer YES or NO and justify your answer. 3. Is Te(n) = (Ta(n)) ? Answer YES or NO and justify your answer.
When an author produces an index for his or her book, the first step in this process is to decide which words should go into the index; the second is to produce a list of the pages where each word occurs. Instead of trying to choose words out of our heads, we decided to let the computer produce a list of all the unique words used in the manuscript and their frequency of occurrence. We could then go over the list and choose which words to put into the index. The main object in this problem is a "word" with associated frequency. The tentative definition of "word" here is a string of alphanumeric characters between markers where markers are white space and all punctuation marks; anything non-alphanumeric stops the reading. If we skip all un-allowed characters before getting the string, we should have exactly what we want. Ignoring words of fewer than three letters will remove from consideration such as "a", "is", "to", "do", and "by" that do not belong in an index. In this project, you…
