Answer:

Best-case = 2 gloves

Worst-case = 12 gloves

Explanation:

  • For the best-case: Because there is a chance that you take two gloves of the same color in the first two round the answer is two.
  • For the worst-case: The worst case would be if, for each color-group of gloves you take the right or left glove, for example, you take 5 left-hand red gloves then 4 left-hand yellow gloves, then 2 left-hand green gloves, because you have already taken all of the left gloves the next one is going to be a right glove that is going to pair with one of the already selected gloves, therefore, the answer is 12 -> 5+4+2+1 = 12

When should you use a union type component in a structured variable?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The answers to 1st question and part 2A is given. However, the 2B is not given complete and thus cannot be answered.

Explanation:

UNION is a keyword used in C Language to have a commonly shared memory that can be used by multiple elements. It is a data-type that allows different data types to use the same shared memory location.

Importance: If you want to minimize the use of memory by sharing it between different datatype variables, then use UNION. For Ex. Let's suppose I want to use 2 variables a and b of type char and int respectively. Now, suppose int takes memory space of 2 bytes and char takes 1 byte then the total amount of memory needed = 2 + 1 = 3 Bytes. But, we want to first make use of a, and once done, we want to declare variable b. We can limit the memory use by declaring a memory space of 2 bytes (max of a and b). First, we can use this space to store the int variable and when done with it, we can use it to store the char variable.

PART 2A

typedef struct{

  int partNum;

  char partName[25];

} partin;

#define Partin partin
