Problem 1: What are the arguments for and against representing Boolean values as single bits in memory. (Recall that the C++ bool type is actually one byte in size despite the fact that a logical true/false can be encoded in one bit.)

Problem 2: Describe the functions performed by a garbage collector. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a programming language with garbage collection services?

Problem 3: Recall that many programming languages use short circuit evaluation when determining the result of a complex boolean expression involving add/or operations. What are the benefits of using short circuit evaluations? Are there any safety/reliability issues involved? If so, what are they?

Problem 4: Describe how the following programming languages deal with the dangling else issue: C++, Java, Ruby, and Python.

Problem 5: Discuss the difference between name type and structure type equivalence. Explain some potential challenges wth implementing structure type equivalence.
