Question 1.
What operation is used to add a new job to a priority queue?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we add elements to any list or queue.
Question 2.
What is 'Delete Max' in a priority queue?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what priorities control the order of job execution.
3Question 3.
What is the primary function of a priority queue?
- To sort elements
- To manage tasks based on priority
- To store elements in FIFO order
Show hintHide hint
Consider the purpose of the term 'priority'.
4Question 4.
True or False: In a sorted list implementation of a priority queue, insertion is faster than deletion.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how sorted order affects where you put new elements.
Question 5.
Design a priority queue that can handle 1000 jobs using a two-dimensional array and calculate the maximum and minimum insert/deletion times.
Show hintHide hint
Apply the principles of sorting and organization we discussed.
Question 6.
Explain how shifting to a binary heap could further optimize a system that uses a two-dimensional array for priority management.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a balanced tree structure changes the complexity of these operations.
