Q. Consider the following C program segment

struct CellNode
{
struct CelINode *leftchild;
int element;

int value = 0;
if (ptr != NULL)
{
if (ptr->leftChild != NULL)
value = 1 + DoSomething(ptr->leftChild);
if (ptr->rightChild != NULL)
value = max(value, 1 + DoSomething(ptr->rightChild));

Q. The order of an internal node in a B+ tree index is the maximum number of children it can have. Suppose that a child pointer takes 6 bytes, the search field value takes 14 bytes, and the block size is 512 bytes. What is the order of the internal node?

Q. Let A[1, ..., n] be an array storing a bit (1 or 0) at each location, and f(m) is a unction whose time complexity is θ(m). Consider the following program fragment written in a C like language:

{
if (A[i] == 1)
counter++;
else {
f(counter);
counter = 0;
}
}
