What is temporal locality?
💡 Hint: Focus on what makes recently accessed data likely to be accessed again soon.

A program accesses memory locations in a predictable cyclic manner. Describe how exploiting locality of reference in a cache could significantly improve performance.
💡 Hint: Relate your answer to the concepts of cache hits and misses.
Given an array of integers accessed in a loop, evaluate how locality of reference could impact cache performance in sorting algorithms. Discuss potential design considerations.
💡 Hint: Think about how data is structured in memory during the operations.
