 Data Structure Viva Questions

1. What is data structure?

A data structure is a way of organizing data that considers not only the items stored,
but also their relationship to each other. Advance knowledge about the relationship
between data items allows designing of efficient algorithms for the manipulation of
data.

2. List out the areas in which data structures are applied extensively?
The names of areas are:
• Compiler Design,
• Operating System,
• Database Management System,
• Statistical analysis package,
• Numerical Analysis,
• Graphics,
• Artificial Intelligence,
• Simulation

1. What are the major data structures used in the following areas: RDBMS,
Network data model & Hierarchical data model?
The major data structures used are as follows:
• RDBMS - Array (i.e. Array of structures)
• Network data model - Graph
• Hierarchical data model - Trees

1. Minimum number of queues needed to implement the priority queue?

Two. One queue is used for actual storing of data and another for

storing priorities.

2. What is the data structures used to perform recursion?

 Stack. Because of its LIFO (Last In First Out) property it remembers its 'caller' so
knows whom to return when the function has to return. Recursion makes use of

system stack for storing the return addresses of the function calls.

Every recursive function has its equivalent iterative (non-recursive) function.

Even when such equivalent iterative procedures are written, explicit stack is to be
used.
3. What are the notations used in Evaluation of Arithmetic Expressions using
prefix and postfix forms?
Polish and Reverse Polish notations.

4. What is a Register?
A register is a small amount of memory within the CPU that is used to temporarily
store instructions and data.

5. An _________ data type is a keyword of a programming language that

specifies the amount of memory needed to store data and the kind of data
that will be stored in that memory location?
Answer: Abstract

6. What are the different Abstract Data Type Groups?

Integer, Floating-Type, Character & Boolean are the four different data type groups
Explanation: You determine the amount of memory to reserve by determining the
appropriate abstract data type group to use and then deciding which abstract data
type within the group is right for the data. The different abstract data type groups
are Integer, Floating-Type, and Character & Boolean.

7. Which of the following abstract data types are NOT used by Integer Abstract
Data type group?
• Short
• Int
• Float
• long
 Explanation: The integer abstract data type group consists of four abstract data
types used to reserve memory to store whole numbers: byte, short, int , and long

1. What are all the applications for the tree data structure?
• Manipulation of the arithmetic expressions.
• Symbol table construction.
• Syntax analysis.
1. Which data structure is used to perform recursion?
The answer is Stack. Stack has the LIFO (Last In First Out) property; it
remembers it's ‘caller’. Therefore, it knows to whom it should return when the
function has to return. On the other hand, recursion makes use of the system stack
for storing the return addresses of the function calls.

Every recursive function has its equivalent iterative (non-recursive) function.

Even when such equivalent iterative procedures are written explicit, stack is to be
used.

2. Which data structures algorithm used in solving the eight Queens problem?
Backtracking

3. In an AVL tree, at what condition the balancing is to be done?

If the "pivotal value", or the "height factor", is greater than one or less than
minus one.

4. There are 8, 15, 13, and 14 nodes in four different trees. Which one of them
can form a full binary tree?
The answer is the tree with 15 nodes. In general, there are 2^n-1 nodes in a full
binary tree.

By the method of elimination:

Full binary trees contain odd number of nodes, so there cannot be full binary
trees with 8 or 14 nodes. Moreover, with 13 nodes you can form a complete binary
tree but not a full binary tree. Thus, the correct answer is 15.
 5. Convert the expression ((A + B) * C - (D - E) ^ (F + G)) to equivalent Prefix
and Postfix notations.
Prefix Notation: ^ - * +ABC - DE + FG
Postfix Notation: AB + C * DE - - FG + ^
6. List out few of the applications that make use of Multilinked Structures?
The applications are listed below:
• Sparse matrix,
• Index generation.
1. What are the methods available in storing sequential files?

The methods available in storing sequential files are:

a. Straight merging,
b. Natural merging,
c. Polyphase sort,
d. Distribution of Initial runs.

2. In tree construction which is the suitable efficient data structure?

Answer: Linked list is the efficient data structure.

3. Elements of an array are stored _______ in memory.
Answer: Sequentially

4. Allocating memory at runtime is also called as?

Dynamic allocation of memory

5. _________ method places a value onto the top of a stack.

Push method

6. Popping removes an item from the stack at which position.

Pop removes top element from stack

7. Is the size of tree the number of nodes on the tree?

No. The size of the tree determined by using the levels of tree.

8. Is a tree can have a duplicate key?

No. A tree can’t have duplicate key, because through key only that a node is
identified.
 9. What is hashing?
Hashing is the technique of scrambling bits of a key into a hash number

10.Priority Queue
A priority queue is essentially a list of items in which each item has associated
with it a priority. In general different items may have different priorities and we
speak of one item having a higher priority than another. Given such a list we can
determine which is the highest (or the lowest) priority item in the list. Items are
inserted into a priority queue in any arbitrary order.

11. Data in a queue is accessible in First in First Out concept

12. The double ended queue inserts and deletes the element in both
sides.

13. What is a spanning Tree?

A spanning tree is a tree associated with a network. All the nodes of the graph
appear on the tree once. A minimum spanning tree is a spanning tree organized so
that the total edge weight between nodes is minimized.

14.Is it possible implement tree using array?

Yes, it is possible.
Here is an example of implementing a binary tree:
Consider an array : a[n];
Place the root in first position.
and let the current position to be i = 0;
place left node at the position: 2i+1
place right node at the position: 2i+2.
Repeat these steps.
15. Whether Linked List is linear or Non-linear data structure?
According to Access strategies Linked list is a linear one. According to Storage Linked
List is a Non-linear one.2312
16. What is the bucket size, when the overlapping and collision occur at same
time?
One. If there is only one entry possible in the bucket, when the collision occurs, there
is no way to accommodate the colliding value. This results in the overlapping of
values.
17.What is binary tree?
A binary tree is a tree which has every node has exactly two links i.e left and
right link
 18. When can you tell that a memory leak will occur?
A memory leak occurs when a program loses the ability to free a block of dynamically
allocated memory.
19.What is the average number of comparisons in a sequential search?
f(n)= 1.Pn + 2.Pn + 3.Pn +…+ N.Pn
where
Pn = 1/N
f(n)= 1.1/N +2.1/N + 3.1/N+….+N.1/N
= (1+2+3+….+N)1/N
= N(N+1)/2N
= (N+1)/2
20. Is Pointer a variable?
Yes, a pointer is a variable and can be used as an element of a structure and as
an attribute of a class in some programming languages such as C++, but not Java.
However, the contents of a pointer is a memory address of another location of
memory, which is usually the memory address of another variable, element of a
structure, or attribute of a class.
21. Why do we Use a Multidimensional Array?
A multidimensional array can be useful to organize subgroups of data within an
array. In addition to organizing data stored in elements of an array, a multidimensional
array can store memory addresses of data in a pointer array and an array of pointers.

22. How do you assign an address to an element of a pointer array?

We can assign a memory address to an element of a pointer array by using the
address operator, which is the ampersand (&), in an assignment statement such as
ptemployee[0] = &projects[2];

23. Which process places data at the back of the queue?

Enqueue is the process that places data at the back of the queue.

24. Is a node can reference more than one data element

Yes, a node itself can contain as many data elements as it needs and it can also
reference other data elements. Following is an example of a complex node structure
in a linked list
