Programming Assignments for Scmp 218
Make sure you save your programs in your folder in P drive for each lab before the deadline. Having it elsewhere (e.g. in your H drive) does not help. Do NOT modify after the deadline.
Assignment 12: Due 11:59 pm, Wed Dec 12
Implement and test the heap sort algorithm. Note that the implementation of this algorithm is basically given in Chp 10 of the textbook as a member function of arrayListType. You should implement it as an ordinary function that sorts integer arrays. Make sure you design a good user-interface such as program generating randomly filled arrays of various sizes (and sorting them), also letting the user enter his/her own array. Measure and report the sorting time for each array as well.
Assignment 11: Due 11:59 pm, Wed Dec 5
Do programming exercises 1-4 on page 682. You can use the source code from the book and write implementations of member functions for a binary search tree (or for a binary tree). Write a single test program to test all of these functions.
Assignment 10: Due 11:59 pm, Wed Nov 28
In this lab you are going to implement various sorting algorithms we discussed. You will also compare their performances.
Create an integer array of size 5,000. Fill in the array with random numbers. Apply each of the following sorting algorithms to sort the array
Bubble Sort
Selection Sort
Insertion Sort
Shell Sort
Merge Sort
Quick Sort with pivot as the middle element
Quick Sort with pivot as the median of the first, last and middle elements of the array
Quick Sort with pivot as a random element of the array (use the rand function to choose a random arrray index)
Before applying each algorithm, initilaize the array to the original state (randomly filled values) by saving a copy of the original array. After applying each sort function printout the first 20 elements of the array to make sure that it is really sorted (your sort algorithm is working correctly).
Also measure and report the (CPU) time each algorithm takes. (This is related to Programming Exercise 9 on pages 596 in the book). More info here about timing a piece of code. Save the output in a file (in addition to sending it to the screen). Make sure you have a good user interface (do not ask too many questions!) with output in a nice, easy-to-read format.
Repeat this process for arrays of size i* 5,000 for i =1, 2, 4, 6
Assignment 9: Due 11:59 pm, Wed Nov 14
I) Programming Project 4 on page 530. In part a), use the formula (a*m+i*b) % 100,000 for i between 0 and 999 and a = 47, m = 2743, and b = 5923 to fill the array with "random" numbers less than 100,000. Also add another part to part c: c-iii Use the plain sequential search to search for an item and also count the number of comparisons for the sequential search.
II) Programming Project 8 on page 531. To test your program, read the input from the file
P:\Class\Math\Aydin\218\FilesForLabs\Ch9_Ex8_data.txt
After reading info about each state, insert it to the hash table.Give the user the option of searching for a state (by name) or deleting a state from the list. Let the user repeat his/her action as long as s/he wishes. Use a hash table of size 101 (which is the default size in the implementation given in the book) Note: The mixing of operator >> and getline function may cause problems with reading the data correctly. Use .ignore( ) function appropriately to avoid the problem.
Assignment 8, Due 11:59 pm, Wed Nov 7
I ) Implement (using queues) and test the Radix Sort Algorithm. The test function should have the following interface: Ask d (number of digits) from the user. Generate (and store in a container (e.g. array, vector)) a set of 50 random integers with at most d digits to be sorted. Print the array before it is sorted. Sort the array with the Radix Sort algorithm. Finally, print the sorted array. Format your output so that it looks neat and easy to read.
II) Do programming exercise 8 on page 496 (running customer-server simulation). You just need to complete the appropriate portions of the source code from the textbook.
Assignment 7, Due 11:59 pm, Wed Oct 31
Do the following programming exercises from Chapter 7 (pages 448-50)
Exercise 6: Let the user enter the number and program prints out the prime factors in descending order. Repeated factors must be printed. For example, if the input is 36, then the output should be 3 3 2 2 (or you could print it as 3^2 2^2).
Exercise 9: Read the expressions from a file and write the results to the screen. Your input file should contain all the expressions given in the problem (as sample expressions to test on page 468) but you may add more. For simplicity, you may assume that the expressions only contain uppercase letters, white spaces and the arithmetic operations +, -, * and / . (You do not have to have destructors)
Assignment 6, Due 11:59 pm, Wed Oct 24
Do programming exercise 18 at the end of chapter 6, i.e. complete the program given in the textbook to solve sudoku puzzles. Your program should take the input from a file. Let the user enter a file name. You can assume that the file is in the same folder as your program. Do not require the user to enter the entries from the keyboard. For output, send it both to the screen and to a file. Ask for the name of the output file from the user as well.
You can assume that the file you read the input from has the right format, i.e. 81 integer values between 0-9 with 0's indicating blank spaces. Test your program with a couple of sample input files (but it should be able to read from any input file specified).
Please note the following: 1) The description of the findEmptyGridSlot function given by the textbook (and source code) is misleading. A more accurate description is: This function finds the first empty square, stores its coordinates in its arguments, and returns true. If there is no empty square, then returns false. 2) The argument to open member function of a stream object must be of type C-string. In most compilers, a string object does not work but remember that the string class has a member function to convert a string object to a C-string.
Assignment 5, Due 11:59 pm, Mon Oct 15: You can have a new partner for pair programming for Assignments 5-8.
Do the programming Exercises 2,3, 6 and 17 at the end of chapter 5. Use a single test program for all functions. Use the source code from the textbook with care. If you decide to terminate the program due to the violation of a condition (e.g, position entered is larger than the size of the list) make sure that you pause the program before exiting for the user to see the error message.
Note: As given, the source code from the textbook does not compile (it used to compile in older versions of C++). One solution is when a derived class (such orderedLinkedList and unorderedLinkedList) inherits from the base class linkedListType<Type> specify the type like so:
class orderedLinkedList: public linkedListType<int> as opposed to more general class orderedLinkedList: public linkedListType<Type>
There is another way to make the more general inheritance work. We will discuss this in class. If you find yet another way, let us know!
Assignment 4: Due 11:59 pm, Mon Oct 1
Do programming exercises 3, 4, 5, and 6 at the end of chapter 4. Write a single test program for all of these tasks but make sure you test each function/task separately and fully, and provide the user a good interface (that should include the option of repeating computations). Some hints:
template < class elemType>
void reverseVector(vector<elemType> &list)
{
typename vector<elemType> : : iterator Itr1,Itr2;
..... FILL IN THE REST
}
