<p class=MsoNormal>Heya all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some of my students are going through the sample questions
posted back in April 07 on the SD VCAA website. I looked back at the
archives (Apr 07) and found Mark and Gordon’s multi choice answers which
I agreed with but I’m trying to work out what is expected from Question 2
of section B. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It states: Three simple types of data structure are
arrays, records and linked lists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For each of these three data structures, identify the types
of data that they deal with and the way the data is organised. (6 marks)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is “types of data” different from “data
types”? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My thoughts are linked lists are sequential and ordered while
arrays can have random access, is this organisation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>An array can only hold one data type while a record can have
several different data types.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would love some help on this one. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Three sleeps til I can clear the mess of exam papers off my
desk!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
