◇Overview

The second mock exam focuses heavily on algorithm analysis (frequency counting, explicit functions, and recurrence relations), determining the appropriate asymptotic notations (Big Oh, Omega, Theta), evaluating sorting algorithms (Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Merge Sort), and converting expressions among infix, postfix, and prefix notations.

◇Important Formulas

Recurrences: Examples include T(n)=T(n−1)+3T(n) = T(n-1) + 3 and T(n)=2T(n/2)+5T(n) = 2T(n/2) + 5.
Logarithmic Time: Merge sort combines two sorted arrays in O(n)O(n) time, yielding an overall time complexity of O(nlog⁡2n)O(n \log_2 n).

◇Worked Examples

  1. Expression Conversion: Converting 9−2∗(5−4)/(−7∗(3−10))+89 - 2 * (5 - 4) / (-7 * (3 - 10)) + 8 to postfix and prefix.
  2. Queue and Stack Methods: Writing a function to copy a queue to a stack while retaining the queue's original contents.
  3. Code Behavior: Analyzing the effect of changing the condition from > to < in a Selection Sort implementation.
