Which tool would you use to create and delete partitions on hard drives?

Describe in pseudocode an algorithm that given an integer n and a linked list of elements increases the linked list by a factor of n by replacing each element in the original list with n copies of that element. for example, if l: [18, 7, 4, 24, 11] and n = 3 the resulting list should be l: [18, 18, 18, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, 24, 24, 24, 11, 11, 11]. if the value of n is less than or equal to 0, the list should be empty after the call. what’s the running time of your algorithm?

Let r be a robotic arm with a fixed base and seven links. the last joint of r is a prismatic joint, the other ones are revolute joints. give a set of parameters that determines a placement of r. what is the dimension of the configuration space resulting from your choice of parameters?

Description: write function lastfirst() that takes one argument—a list of strings of the format "lastname, firstname" —and returns a list consisting of two lists: (a) a list of all the last names (b) a list of all the first names
