Question 1

What is the primary function of a min-heap in air traffic control?

  • To manage maximum requests
  • To ensure the earliest flight is processed first
  • To prioritize ground traffic

💡 Hint: Think about how requests are prioritized.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a situation where 10 different flights request takeoff and landing in a short time frame. Create a data structure that would effectively manage these requests while implementing a separation time of 3 minutes between each.

💡 Hint: Think about how BSTs can help both in sorting and searching.

Question 2

How would the efficiency of your system change if instead of a binary search tree, you used an unsorted array? Discuss the performance implications.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how the ordering of data impacts the operations.
