Programs 9.9 and 9.10 implement a priority queue using a doubly-linked list, with dummy head and tail nodes. discuss the effect each of the following changes would have on priority queue operations (that is, list the operations that would be affected, and explain the performance effect).
a. using a singly-linked list instead of a doubly-linked list
b. not using dummy nodes
c. not maintaining a tail pointer.

Jaina and tomas are being considered as new tenants in an apartment. the landlord looks at their creditworthiness because he wants to be sure his new tenant pays the rent on time and in full. the table below summarizes the information that was on their applications. application information questions jaina tomas how many years have you had your job? 5 2 what is your monthly salary? $1,850 $2,500 how many credit cards do you have? 4 1 how much debt do you have? $13,000 $7,000 how many times were you late with payments on credit cards in the past year? 5 1 who will the landlord decide to be more creditworthy and why? tomas because the ratio of his debt to income is less. jaina because she has had her job longer, which makes her look more stable. jaina because she has more credit cards available to her. tomas because he makes more money per month.

Write a function balancechemical to balance chemical reactions by solving a linear set of equations. the inputs arguments are: reagents: symbols of reagents in string row array products: symbols of products in string row array elements: elements in the reaction in string row array elcmpreag: elemental composition of reactants in two dimensional numeric array elcmpprdcts: elemental composition of prducts in two dimensional numeric array hint: the first part of the problem is setting up the set of linear equations that should be solve. the second part of the problem is to find the integers from the solution. one way to do this is to mulitiply the rational basis for the nullspace by increasing larger integers until both the left-and right-side integers exist. for example, for the reaction that involves reacting with to produce and : reagents=["ch4", "o2"]; products =["co2", "h2o"]; elements =["c","h", "o"] elcmpreag=[1,4,0;

The computers in the sales department did not have enough data storage capacity to contain all the information the department needed to store, and it was taking a long time for team members to access the data they needed. to fix the problem, the technician installed new, larger hard drives on all the computers.
