The CPU is the most important. It is the brains of the Computer.
Since both arrays are already sorted, that means that the first int of one of the arrays will be smaller than all the ints that come after it in the same array. We also know that if the first int of arr1 is smaller than the first int of arr2, then by the same logic, the first int of arr1 is smaller than all the ints in arr2 since arr2 is also sorted.
public static int[] merge(int[] arr1, int[] arr2) {
int i = 0; //current index of arr1
int j = 0; //current index of arr2
int[] result = new int[arr1.length+arr2.length]
while(i < arr1.length && j < arr2.length) {
result[i+j] = Math.min(arr1[i], arr2[j]);
if(arr1[i] < arr2[j]) {
i++;
} else {
j++;
}
}
boolean isArr1 = i+1 < arr1.length;
for(int index = isArr1 ? i : j; index < isArr1 ? arr1.length : arr2.length; index++) {
result[i+j+index] = isArr1 ? arr1[index] : arr2[index]
}
return result;
}
So this implementation is kind of confusing, but it's the first way I thought to do it so I ran with it. There is probably an easier way, but that's the beauty of programming.
A quick explanation:
We first loop through the arrays comparing the first elements of each array, adding whichever is the smallest to the result array. Each time we do so, we increment the index value (i or j) for the array that had the smaller number. Now the next time we are comparing the NEXT element in that array to the PREVIOUS element of the other array. We do this until we reach the end of either arr1 or arr2 so that we don't get an out of bounds exception.
The second step in our method is to tack on the remaining integers to the resulting array. We need to do this because when we reach the end of one array, there will still be at least one more integer in the other array. The boolean isArr1 is telling us whether arr1 is the array with leftovers. If so, we loop through the remaining indices of arr1 and add them to the result. Otherwise, we do the same for arr2. All of this is done using ternary operations to determine which array to use, but if we wanted to we could split the code into two for loops using an if statement.
Answer:
The term data is simply defined as “facts and figures”. Each piece of data is a little fact that doesn't mean much on its own. The word data can be used for a singular fact or a collection of facts. It comes from the Latin word datum, meaning “something given”.Data is defined as facts or figures, or information that's stored in or used by a computer. An example of data is information collected for a research paper. An example of data is an email. ... Statistics or other information represented in a form suitable for processing by computer.
It really is hard to say because there are many slots and we do not know what your teacher is teaching. I have seen a lot of teachers teaching out of date material. With that said, here is a list from best to worst.
PCI Express x16
PCI Express x1
AGP
PCI
This is list is based on greatest to least and base on the bandwidth read and write speed.
As far as humans are concerned. What's written in the programming language needs to interpreted or compiled into something that the machine can actually deal with.
