I'm in the exact same boat, need to make MQ my first preference before Dec round 2. If I put it in first and get the offer, then in the later rounds have the other preferences moved up, would that not be decreasing the chance that a uni would still have positions available after the first ATAR...

Mmmm, the question uses "only" and "ALL" as in: After the first pass of a sort, only the last two elements of an array have changed value. Which list identifies ALL the possible sort methods that could have been used? A. Bubble, selection B. Bubble, insertion C. Insertion, selection D...

Yeah, was flipping through the paper since it's up, almost threw my mouse across the room when I saw the question again, I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. :vcross:

Mmm, it really doesn't matter which way you go, just need to find the next largest/smallest and move it to the "sorted" section of the array. Only advantage of moving from the right to left would be that decrementing loops are marginally faster than incrementing loops - even so, now I think of...

Selection can start with the last element. It doesn't have to start with the first, it can be flipped either way since it will result in the same answer in the end.

Hmmm, could of been, if it was that yeah all three would be correct. Though I thought it said only affect the the last 2. I remember narrowing it down to A and B (I think), can't remember the exact options, hopefully they put the paper up soon.

Went the with same, insert + select. Bubble can affect the position of more than just the last 2 elements in the array. Now you've said that though, I'm questioning myself... hmmm

That option was under sequential.

It is/was a complete guess, but I assume "self checking" elements would be how an input box is static, but natively it can have spell checking or suggestions etc. As apposed to having the ability to add checking with an event listener, so you could execute a check of contents of input on the...

Don't get me started on those sort of questions, I get so mad other them. There is more than one correct answer, but they also have and winding, round about way of justifying one over another. :angryfire:

Interesting, I said sequential would be limited to self-checking elements as with even driven you could check the element(s) on the event of keystroke etc. with sequential being (more) static. The other option for sequential was something like 'input can drastically affects the execution of the...

Haha, didn't realize I could have just used an OR gate, I over complicated it with and XOR and AND.

Same, blanked on fetch-execute. But if the HSC has taught me anything, its knowing to BS answers, wrong a bunch of semi-coherent nonsense that will hopefully get a few marks. lul

Well... it was pointed out to me before the exam that the marking guidelines actually says C. I must have had some temporary dyslexia, cause I swear it said D. dan, you did say it was C from the marking guidelines, but I think I skipped over that, somehow didn't understand your acronym 'MG'...

Interesting, I agree with C since: b is put into ACC then you subtract a from the ACC. If that results in a negative (aka a being greater than b), it puts a into ACC then stores that in c. Then visa versa; if the result is not negative, it will put the value of b into ACC then stores that in...
