Part 1:

#1. Give an example of how efforts in the development of software can pay dividends later in software maintenance.
#2. Explain how the lack of metrics for measuring certain software properties affects the software engineering discipline.
#3. How does software engineering differ from other, more traditional fields of engineering such as electrical and mechanical engineering?

Part 2:

#1. Suppose a homogeneous array with 6 rows and 8 columns is stored in row major order starting at address 20 (base ten). If each entry in the array requires only one memory cell, what is the address of the entry in the third row and fourth column? What if each entry requires two memory cells?
#2. Describe how an array could be used to implement a queue in a high-level language.
#3. Does a queue crawl through memory in the direction of its head or its tail? Explain your answer.
