Answers to Data Structure Question

Paper (May 2024 - C Scheme)


Q1 (a) Differentiate between linear and non-linear data structures.
Aspect | Linear Data Structures | Non-Linear Data Structures
------------------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------
Arrangement | Sequential (e.g., array, linked list) | Hierarchical or interconnected
(e.g., trees, graphs)
Memory Usage | May have unused memory | Efficient memory utilization
Traversal | Single level traversal | Requires hierarchical traversal
Implementation | Simpler to implement | More complex to implement
Examples | Array, Stack, Queue, Linked List | Tree, Graph

Q1 (b) Evaluate postfix expression “78+45-*” using stack.


Steps:
1. Push 7 → Stack: [7]
2. Push 8 → Stack: [7,8]
3. ‘+’: 7 + 8 = 15 → Stack: [15]
4. Push 4 → Stack: [15,4]
5. Push 5 → Stack: [15,4,5]
6. ‘-’: 4 - 5 = -1 → Stack: [15, -1]
7. ‘*’: 15 * -1 = -15 → Stack: [-15]

Final Answer: -15

Q1 (c) Graph Representation in Memory


1. Adjacency Matrix: 2D array to represent connections. Uses more space.
2. Adjacency List: Array of linked lists. Efficient for sparse graphs.
3. Edge List: List of all edges. Simple but not efficient for lookups.

Q1 (d) Insert/Delete in Linear Queue as Linked List (C Code)


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct Node {


int data;
struct Node* next;
} Node;
Node *front = NULL, *rear = NULL;

void enqueue(int val) {


Node* newNode = malloc(sizeof(Node));
newNode->data = val; newNode->next = NULL;
if (rear == NULL) front = rear = newNode;
else { rear->next = newNode; rear = newNode; }
}

void dequeue() {
if (!front) return;
Node* temp = front;
front = front->next;
if (!front) rear = NULL;
free(temp);
}

Q2 (a) Construct Huffman Tree for "structures" and find codes


Frequency Table: s: 2, t: 2, r: 2, u: 2, c: 1, e: 1

Steps:
1. Combine c(1)+e(1) = 2 → Node1
2. Node1(2)+s(2) = 4 → Node2
3. t(2)+r(2) = 4 → Node3
4. u(2)+Node2(4) = 6 → Node4
5. Node3(4)+Node4(6) = 10 → Root

Codes (example): s: 110, t: 00, r: 01, u: 10, c: 1110, e: 1111

Q2 (b) Infix to Postfix Conversion (C Code)


#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 100

char stack[SIZE]; int top = -1;


void push(char ch) { stack[++top] = ch; }
char pop() { return stack[top--]; }
char peek() { return stack[top]; }
int precedence(char ch) {
if (ch == '^') return 3;
if (ch == '*' || ch == '/') return 2;
if (ch == '+' || ch == '-') return 1;
return 0;
}

void infixToPostfix(char* exp) {


for (int i = 0; exp[i]; i++) {
char ch = exp[i];
if (isalnum(ch)) printf("%c", ch);
else if (ch == '(') push(ch);
else if (ch == ')') {
while (peek() != '(') printf("%c", pop());
pop();
} else {
while (top != -1 && precedence(peek()) >= precedence(ch))
printf("%c", pop());
push(ch);
}
}
while (top != -1) printf("%c", pop());
}

int main() {
char exp[] = "a+(b*c)";
infixToPostfix(exp);
return 0;
}
