  4. d. none of the above
Expert Solution & Answer

Program Description Answer

A list is a collection that “assigns an index to each element in a list”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Explanation of Solution

List:

  • A list is a collection that stores its element in a location-based order.
  • Each element in a list is related with an index that matches to its location within the list. That is the first element contains index 0, the second element contains index 1 and so on.
  • Storage allocation for the elements of a list takes place in two methods such as contiguous allocation and linked allocation.
    • Continuous allocation:
      • Array-based lists use this allocation.
      • It assigns storage for consecutive list elements in consecutive memory locations.
    • Linked allocation:
      • This allocation does not require consecutive memory locations to store list elements.
      • It uses a pointer to store each element in a list.

Explanation for incorrect options:

A list is a collection that associates index with elements not keys.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

“JList” is a type of Java Swing package. It is a component that shows a set of objects and permits the user to choose more than one element from the list.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

5. List Member Deletion Modify the list class you created in the previous programming challenges by adding a function to remove an item from the ist and by adding a destructor: void zemove (double x) : Linkedtist (02 Test the class by adding a sequence of instructions that mixes operations for adding items, removing items, and printing the list.
numUniqueValues ♡ Language/Type: Related Links: Java Set collections List Write a method named numUnique Values that accepts a List of integers as a parameter and returns the number of unique integer values in the list. For example, if a list named 1 contains the values [3, 7, 3, -1, 2, 3, 7, 2, 15, 15], the call of numUniqueValues (1) should return 5. If passed the empty list, you should return 0. Use a Set as auxiliary storage to help you solve this problem. Do not modify the list passed in. 6 7 8 9 10 Method: Write a Java method as described, not a complete program or class. 12345
