Q. Consider the following three C functions :

[PI] int * g (void)
{
int x= 10;
return (&x);
}

[P2] int * g (void)
{
int * px;
*px= 10;
return px;
}

[P3] int *g (void)
{
int *px;
px = (int *) malloc (sizeof(int));
*px= 10;
return px;
}

Which of the above three functions are likely to cause problems with pointers?

Q. Consider the following algorithm for searching for a given number x in an unsorted array A[1.....n] having n distinct values:

Q. Let S be a stack of size n ≥ 1. Starting with the empty stack, suppose we push the first n natural numbers in sequence, and then perform n pop operations. Assume that Push and pop operation take X seconds each, and Y seconds elapse between the end of one such stack operation and the start of the next operation. For m ≥ 1, define the stack-life of m as the time elapsed from the end of Push(m) to the start of the pop operation that removes m from S. The average stack-life of an element of this stack is
