What is compaction in data structure?

The process of moving all marked nodes to one end of memory and all available memory to other end is called compaction. Algorithm which performs compaction is called compacting algorithm.

Advantages of simplified representation in ProE?

With a simplified rep, less of the model data is loaded into memory. Computer performance is improved.


What is linear data structure?

when elements are accesed or placed in contiguous memory location yhen data structure is known as linear data structure. stacks, arrays, queues and linklists are example of data structure. in non-linear data structure element are not placed in sequential manner. trees, graph are the ex. of non-linear data structure.


What is meant by heap in c or cpp?

If you see the word "heap" in the context of C/C++ programming, it is probably referring to one of two ideas. First, if it is written as "the heap", it is probably referring to dynamically allocated memory. We conceptualize memory as either being on "the stack" or "the heap" in main memory. Memory allocation from the heap happens when a call to malloc (or similar functions) are called in C, or when the "new" operator is used in C++. This is in contrast to statically allocated memory, which comes from the load module and is known at compile-time, or from the "stack" which is used at run-time to allocate local scope, or automatic, memory. Another usage of the word heap is a certain data structure called a heap. It is a very common data structure for priority queues and is crucial to the famous HeapSort algorithm. You can easily find more information on this data structure e.g. by searching for HeapSort.

A triangulation data structure is a data structure designed to handle the representation of a two dimensional triangulation. Triangulation is the one who is responsible for the creation and removal of faces and vertices (memory management).

What is the use of structure padding?

Structure padding is used to align the data members in a structure to memory addresses that are multiples of their size or the machine's word size. This helps in optimizing memory access and improving performance by reducing memory fragmentation and making data retrieval more efficient.

How do you copy only structure and not data?

To copy a structure you simply allocate the amount of memory required to store the structure. For simple data structures like arrays that's all you need to do (leaving the memory uninitialised or set to some default value such as zero). But for complex structures like lists, trees and graphs, you need to recreate the links between the nodes within the allocated memory. If the original structure is not allocated in contiguous memory, this can be more trouble than it is actually worth. A simpler approach would be to rebuild the structure one node at a time, using the node's default value for the data. This can be simplified further by separating the data from the structure, so that the structure simply refers to the data rather than stores the data.
