Question 1

What is the function of a predecessor in a search tree?

  • It is the largest value
  • It is the smallest value
  • It is the closest smaller value
  • It is the closest larger value

💡 Hint: Look for what 'pre-' could signify.

Question 2

True or False: A min heap can effectively manage minimum separation constraints.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how elements are retrieved in the heap.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create an algorithm using a binary search tree structure to manage a list of flight requests defined by their arrival times, ensuring that any new request complies with a minimum separation rule of 3 minutes.

💡 Hint: Think about tree properties and how they facilitate minimum separation checks.

Question 2

Evaluate the performance difference in time complexities between a direct heap implementation and a balanced binary search tree when managing a large number of flight requests.

💡 Hint: Which structure allows fast access to elements based on valued relationships?
