Title and Citation: Anderson V. State 102- Cite as 354 Ark. 102 (2003)
Facts of the Case:
Issues: The appellant professes that he was denied fair trial when the trial court allowed the State
court to cross-examine the felonies that were more than 10 year old.
Reasoning:
Based on the above, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion by excluding
testimony about specific instances of violent conduct by the victim. Appellant\'s defense was
self-defense, and he was allowed to testify that he was afraid of the victim. Moreover, the
incidents proffered to demonstrate violent conduct on the part of the victim would have
amounted to cumulative testimony. As such, for these reasons and because the decedent\'s
character is not an essential element of a self-defense for first-degree murder, we hold that the
trial court did not abuse its discretion in this regard..

Solution
17. Ans for Question 1
-> StackTop always point to the top element of the stack. So if it is null, then there is no element
in the stack.The stack is empty (option b)
Ans for Question 2
-> No, Stack is a LIFO property (Last In First Out). So bottom element is the first element added
to the stack ( Option b)
Ans for Question 3
-> The postfix expression will be x y - v w + * ( Option d)
Ans for Question 4
-> No, As for the FIFO property, The item added to the stack last will be the item removed
first.So it is false ( Option b)
Ans for Question 5
-> After push 3 and 7, The stack will be [ 3 7 ] and the top points to 7. When it perform pop()
then the top element will be popped( here 7 ). After this, the stack will be [ 3 ]. Now again is
push 5. So the stack will be [ 3 7 ]. Then y=s.pop(); y=7; So value of y=7. (option d)
Ans for Question 6
-> When we push 3 and 7 in the stack named s, the stack looks like [ 3 7 ] and top points to 7.
Now x=s.pop(). so x = 7 and stack look like [ 3 ]. Now again we insert 5. So, now it looks like [
3 5 ] and top = 5. Now y=s.pop(). so it returns the top element that is 5. So y=5.(Option c)
Ans for Question 7
-> That depends on how to implement it. We can make it both fixed size and variable no. But in
general, as link list is used, so it is variable size. So it is false( Option 7)
Ans for Question 8
-> True.memory allocation of the list is dynamical.
Ans for Question 9
-> No, There is no add delete operation, There is ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE operation.
ENQUEUE for insert element in Queue and DEQUEUE for remove element.(Option b)
Ans for Question 10
-> Yes,FIFO mean first in first out. That's in mountain in bank ( Option a)
Ans for Question 11
-> Yes, Front returns the first inserted element of the Queue.(Option a)
