In the sub-module on relations, we discussed total orders. Total orders allow you to sort the elements in a list. Why is sorting such an important operation in computing?

CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY

A sorted program runs faster

Queries run faster

There is less chance of losing data

A report is easier to read when printing out

Question 2

Explanation / Answer

a. { <a,b>, <b,a>, <c,c>}

it is symmetric since all the components of type (x1,x2) and (x2,x1) are present throughout the set.

b. { <a,b>, <b,b>, <a,c>, <c,b>}

it is antisymmetric since if (x1,x2) is present then

(x2,x1) is definitely not present throughout the set.

c.{ <a,b>, <b,c>, <c,d>, <d,e>}

it is antisymmetric since if (x1,x2) is present then

(x2,x1) is definitely not present throughout the set.

d.{ <a,b>, <b,c>, <c,d>, <a,c>, <a,a>,<b,b> }

here none of the above reasons clearly qualifies hence none of the above is suited here.
