A research student is given a singly-linked list. Each node
of the list has a color, which is either “Black”
or “White”. He must find if there are more black nodes than
white nodes, or vice versa. His advisor
gives him 5,000Rs to buy a computer to do the work. He goes
to the computer store and finds a
slightly defective computer which costs a mere 3,000Rs. This
computer has the small problem of not
being able to do arithmetic. This means that he cannot use a
counter to count the nodes in the list to
determine the majority color. The computer is otherwise
fully functional. He has the evil idea that he
could buy the defective computer and somehow use it to do
his work, so that he can use the rest of
the money on enjoyment. Show how he can accomplish this
amazing task. Write code for an algorithm
called ‘findMajorityColor’ which takes a singly-linked list,
L, with n nodes and returns the majority color
among nodes of L. This algorithm should have the same
asymptotic running time as counting the
nodes (O(n)). Note: No arithmetic is allowed.

Definition of priority queue was given. We have to implement the priority queue using array of pointers with the priorities given in the range 1..n. The array could be accessed using the variable top. The list corresponding to the array elements contains the items having the priority as the array index. Adding an item would require changing the value of top if it has higher priority than top. Extracting an item would require deleting the first element from the corresponding queue. The following class was given: class PriorityQueue { int *Data[100]; int top; public: void put(int item, int priority); // inserts the item with the given priority. int get(int priority); // extract the element with the given priority. int count(); // returns the total elements in the priority queue. int isEmpty(); // check whether the priority queue is empty or not. }; We had to implement all these class functions.
