Written question 9Algorithms

How many member of swapping is needed to sort the number sequence 5, 8, 3, 6, 2 in ascending order using bubble sort.

Model answer

Given sequence: 5, 8, 3, 6, 2 (ascending bubble sort)

Bubble sort repeatedly compares adjacent elements and swaps them if the left one is larger, pushing the largest unsorted element to the end each pass.

Pass Array before pass Swaps performed (adjacent pairs) Array after pass
1 5,8,3,6,2 (8,3), (8,6), (8,2) -> 3 swaps 5,3,6,2,8
2 5,3,6,2,8 (5,3), (6,2) -> 2 swaps 3,5,2,6,8
3 3,5,2,6,8 (5,2) -> 1 swap 3,2,5,6,8
4 3,2,5,6,8 (3,2) -> 1 swap 2,3,5,6,8
5 2,3,5,6,8 no swaps - already sorted 2,3,5,6,8

Total swaps = 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7

Cross-check via inversions

The total number of swaps a bubble sort performs always equals the number of inversions (pairs i<j with a[i]>a[j]) in the original array. For 5,8,3,6,2 the inverted pairs are: (5,3), (5,2), (8,3), (8,6), (8,2), (3,2), (6,2) - exactly 7 inversions, confirming the trace.

graph TD
  S(["Start"]) --> L1{"i < n-1 ?"}
  L1 -- yes --> L2{"j < n-1-i ?"}
  L2 -- yes --> C{"a[j] > a[j+1] ?"}
  C -- yes --> SW["Swap a[j], a[j+1]"] --> J["j++"]
  C -- no --> J
  J --> L2
  L2 -- no --> I["i++"] --> L1
  L1 -- no --> E(["End"])

Answer: 7 swaps are needed.

Exam takeaway: Bubble-sort swap count = number of inversions in the input; a nearly-sorted array needs few swaps, a reverse-sorted array of n elements needs the maximum n(n-1)/2.

Written question 11Networking

Define networking and Internetworking. What are the different types of network? Explain in details.

Model answer

Networking is the interconnection of two or more independent computers/devices (via cable or wireless media) so they can share data, files, and hardware resources such as printers.

Internetworking is the practice of connecting two or more otherwise separate/heterogeneous networks together using intermediate devices - routers or gateways - so they behave as one larger network. It requires all connected networks to speak a common protocol stack (universally TCP/IP); the Internet itself is simply the largest example of internetworking.

graph LR
  LAN1["LAN A (Office 1)"] --> R1["Router"] --> WAN(("Internet / WAN"))
  WAN --> R2["Router"] --> LAN2["LAN B (Office 2)"]

Types of network by geographic scope

graph TD
  N["Computer Networks"] --> PAN["PAN - a few metres (Bluetooth, USB)"]
  N --> LAN["LAN - one building/campus"]
  N --> MAN["MAN - one city"]
  N --> WAN2["WAN - country/globe"]
Type Typical range Technology Owned by
PAN few metres Bluetooth, NFC Individual
LAN building/campus (up to 1 km) Ethernet, Wi-Fi Single organization
MAN a city (up to 50 km) Cable/fiber backbone, WiMAX ISP/city authority
WAN country or global Leased lines, satellite, the Internet Multiple organizations/ISPs

Exam takeaway: Networking connects devices; internetworking connects networks via routers under a common protocol - LAN < MAN < WAN in geographic scope, with the Internet being internetworking at global scale.
