Chapter 1, Problem 1RQE
Explanation of Solution
Difference between main memory and secondary storage:
| Main Memory | Secondary storage |
| In Main memory or Random Access Memory (RAM), the data is directly accessed by the processing unit. | In secondary storage, the data is transferred to the main memory and then routed to the processing unit. |
| Main memory is volatile, which means the information stored in the memory would be erased when the computer is turned off. | Secondary storage is non-volatile, which means the information stored in the memory is not erased when the computer is turned off. |
| Main memory has a limited storage capacity. | Secondary storage can store bulk amount of data in a single unit. |
| Main memory devices are more expensive when compared to the secondary storage devices. | Secondary storage devices are less expensive when compared to the main memory devices. |
|
The examples of main memory are,
|
The examples of secondary storage are,

What does the value of the top variable indicate in this ArrayStack implementation?
What will happen if we call pop on this stack? What value will be returned, and what changes will occur in the array and the top variable?
3. If we push the value "echo" onto the stack, where will it be stored in the array, and what will be the new value of top?
4. Explain why index 0 contains the string "alpha" even though top is currently 3.
5. What would the state of the stack look like (values in the array and value of top) after two consecutive pop 0 operations?

Consider a DASH system for which there are N video versions (at N different rates and qualities) and N audio versions (at N different rates and qualities). Suppose we want to allow the player to choose at any time any of the N video versions and any of the N audio versions. If we create files so that the audio is mixed in with its matched-rate video and the server sends only one media stream at a given time, how many files will the server need to store (each with a different URL)? If the server instead sends the audio and video streams separately and has the client synchronize the streams, how many files will the server need to store?arrow_forward
