Imagine that you have two friends that have each rushed a fraternity on the campus of their university. One of the friends went through a grueling week of hazing, and the other did not. The hazed friend seems more committed to his fraternity and values his membership more than the other, un-hazed friend. This can be explained based on the concept of

Q2-b: Suppose that you are asked to select a data structure D that can support all of the following functions: 1. Search(D, x): Search for x in D, return true if x is present in D and false otherwise. 2. Insert(D, x): Insert x into the data structure D and update the data structure accordingly. 3. Delete(D, x): Delete x from the data structure D, given its address; and update the data structure accordingly. 4. Extract-Max(D): Delete and return the largest element in D; update the data structure accordingly. Assume that the candidate data structures are (i) Binary search tree (BST), (ii) Max-heap (HEAP), and (iii) Red-black tree (RBT). Note that a Max-heap is an array object, hence supports Search as well. Deletion in a Max-heap can be achieved by an IncreaseKey operation followed by an ExtractMax operation. Suppose that worst-case time complexity is the main concern, which of the above data structures would you select?
