Multilevel Inheritance.

Hybrid Inheritance. [8+8]
3. What is an Error and Exception? Explain the exception handling mechanism in
C++ ? [16]
4. (a) What are the applications of stack explain with an example.
(b) Explain the list representation of a tree by means of an example.
(c) Mention some common computing times for algorithms in order of increasing
difficulty? [5+5+6]
5. Develop a class for hash table using linear probing and neverUsed concept to handle

used equal to false. The reorganization should move pairs around as necessary and
leave a properly configured hash table in which neverUsed is true for every empty
bucket. [16]
6. (a) Write a method to delete the pair with the largest key from a Binary Search
Tree.
(b) Write a method to find the height of a Binary Search Tree? [8+8]
7. Write and explain an algorithm to determine if the AND/OR tree T is solvable.

8. (a) Write a linear time algorithm that generates the OBST from the root table.
(b) Prove that the greedy method always obtains an optimal solution to the job-
sequencing problem. [8+8]
