Consider designing a program where you need to store information
about every student at ASU. You need to be able to quickly
determine which undergraduate students have a GPA of at least 3.5
so that you can add them to the Dean's list. Would you use an array
or linked list? Analyze the problem, design a choice, and justify
the choice.
Note:
Solutions to this problem typically run one to two pages, depending
if your document is single or double spaced. And yes, those three
lines are the entire problem. This does not mean you answer will be
short, rather it means the opposite! Consider: this problem is very
incomplete. Luckily, you are a student at ASU! You understand the
domain very well and can ll in the blanks! A lot of analysis will
be you writing down (in a sense, formalizing) things like students,
semester, GPA, and the goal of the program. All these details need
to be explained -do not assume that your reader knows it already.
And also: part of the purpose of a proper analysis to be sure that
all information is clear and there are no hidden assumptions that
dier between readers. Minor hint: your design will literally be the
words arrayor linked list... there should be no code! (Although:
your should probably discuss how the data needs to be generally
accessed in analysis.)
