Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a scenario where a program requires heavy use of dynamic data structures (like linked lists), explain how indirect addressing can enhance performance and flexibility.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between a node in a linked list and its dynamic references.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the potential impact of indirect addressing in a nested loop structure that accesses data in arrays via indirect references. Discuss how it could affect processing speed and memory space.

💡 Hint: Think of how many times the loop references arrays indirectly.
