Q: What is the big O time of insertion to the back of a linked list

A:
(a) Log N
(b) N Log N
(c) n
(d) 1 (CONST)

How do you answer that? It depends on if you hold a references to the last link, but they don't tell you.

Except in cases like this where it could really be 2 different answers depending on how you look at it.

If a prof is good at making exams then multiple choice won't help you at all.

Only if you have lazy professors.

If you have evil professors who like making difficult t/f or mulitple choice tests its a different matter.

A t/f test can be the most difficult to take.

Very true. Unless of course the professor is super evil and doesn't believe in partial credit then you could at least guess on the true and false test and pray that the law of big numbers breaks in your favor.

that in turn is way easier than short essay questions. the number is still a lot, and you don't have anything to guess
 
Multiple choice questions with a lot of work involved but no actual credit for work done besides the right answer is the worst.
<--- had that on an exam a few weeks ago.
 
yeah, it does matter if you have a reference to the last node. if you do, its O(1), otherwise its O(n). i would have answered O(n) and if would have argued to get my point back if he marked it wrong
