Q.) An operation to read the time should have the time set by the time of the clock advance one second. Give the pseudo algorithm and flow chart to solve this problem.

Subject: Data Structures

Pseudo Algorithm:

  1. Get the current time from the clock:

    • Read the value of the clock's internal time counter.
    • Store the current time in a temporary variable.
  2. Advance the clock time by one second:

    • Add one second to the temporary variable that stores the current time.
    • Write the updated time value back to the clock's internal time counter.
  3. Return the updated time:

    • Return the value of the temporary variable that stores the updated time.

Flowchart:

                                              +-------------------+
                                              |   Return Time   |
                                              +-------------------+
                                                      |

                                               End of Operation

Additional Notes:

  • The specific implementation details of the algorithm may vary depending on the type of clock being used.
  • The algorithm assumes that the clock can be read and written to directly. If the clock is only accessible through a higher-level interface, the algorithm may need to be modified accordingly.
  • The algorithm can be easily modified to advance the clock time by an arbitrary number of seconds, instead of just one second.
