AP CSA Lab Assignment : Program 13 : - Stacks & Queues Problems & Testing

Based on the Stack, Queue, Infix, and Postfix discussed in the lecture notes, answer the following questions:

  1. Evaluate the following Postfix expressions:
    1. 6  4  +  3  *   16  4 / - 
    2. 12  25  5   1 / / * 8  7 + -
    3. 70  14  4  5  15  3 / * - - / 6 + 
    4. 3  5  6 * + 13 - 18  2 / +
  2. Convert the following Infix expressions to Postfix notation:
    1. (A + B) * (C + D) - E
    2. A - (B + C) * D + E / F
    3. ((A + B) /(C - D) + E) * F - G
    4. A + B * (C  + D) - E / F * G + H
  3. Write the equivalent Infix expressions for the following Postfix expressions:
    1. A B * C + 
    2. A B + C D - *
    3. A B - C - D *
  4. Assuming the following expressions are implemented as a Stack, write out the condition of the Stack after each value is "pushed" or operation is "popped" :
    1. 6 4 + 3 * 16  4 / - 
      (Note: 9 different stack diagrams)
    2. 12 25 5 1 / / * 8 7 + - 
      (Note: 11 different stack diagrams)
  5. Write an Expression class that uses a StackList object that pushes any value onto the stack. As well, any operator (*, +, -, /) must pop two values from the stack, compute the result and push the result back onto the stack. Test your Expression class using the two expressions from Question 4. Don't forget to use the toString() method to verify your stack is working correctly.

To be graded:

  1. Handwritten answers to Questions 1-4.
  2. Printout of you Expression class and the results (copy & pasted to bottom) of the toString() method.

  3. Modify the WordFreq.java application to use a TreeMap rather than HashMap and verbally explain how and why the output is different.

 

To be graded:

  1. Printout the listing for the above class--use appropriate commenting!
  2. Printout the output for a TreeMap and HashMap of only ONE of the "inFile".
  3. Demonstrate how your program works and be ready to explain the difference between the output of the HashMap and TreeMap.

		while ( /*there are still words in inFile*/ )
		{
			// readWord() reads one word in...may have to tokenize it
			String work = inFile.readWord();   
			
			// get the value associated with the key word
			Integer i = (Integer) m.get(word); 
			if (i == null) 						// if new word
			{
				// put new word in the map since we�ve seen it once
				m.put(word, new Integer(1)); 	
			}
			else
			{
				// add 1 to the number of times we�ve seen it

Based upon the Sets & Maps Worksheet given in class, do the following 3 program segments:

  1. Write a driver program to declare and instantiate:
    • one TreeMap, one HashMap and one set (either HashSet or TreeSet) object (3 objects in all)
    • use/populate these 3 objects with appropriate data. Different quantities for each Collection.
    • If you cannot generate your own data to populate the sets and/or maps, you may use or modify from the given examples in the Worksheet.
  2. Prior to programming, create an appropriate Test Case for each data structure with the following specifications:
    1. Determine a least 10 values and/or keys to add to each of your data structures (i.e. 10 for TreeMap, 10 for HashMap, 10 for HashSet or TreeSet)
    2. Draw a diagram to show your teacher the tree diagrams generated from your 10 values and/or keys. For hashes, create a "dummy" hashCode() by writing the comment that explains how the hashCode would work for each value and/or key and a "initial capacity" for the hashTable (actually just an array with a fixed initial size/capacity). Then have Your Teacher Sign Off on the table generated from the HashMap and/or HashSet as well as the tree (TreeMap or TreeSet)
    3. Write the output of the expected toString() methods for each of your data structures
    4. Store these values and/or keys in a text file in any convenient format to be read by your driver program.
  3. Write a driver program to incorporate the 3 data structures then:
    1. Read the test data from your textfile,
    2. Add the data to your data structures, and, finally,
    3. Printout the results of the toString() methods

AP CSA Lab Assignment : Program 18 : Small Challenge Programs

 

Write an application that solves the following three problems:

  1. Given the following function definition, find f(1), f(15), f(27), and f(53)
    f(x) = 2*f(x-3) - 4 if x is composite
    f(x) = x^2 + x if x is prime
    f(x) = 1 if x <= 1
  2. How many whole numbers (non-negative int) between x and y have eight "1's" in their binary representation?
    Assume that x < y < 1023
  3. Triangular Targets: Given a set of 3 coordinate pairs representing the vertices of a triangle and a 4th coordinate pair representing a target, determine if the target is inside (or on) the triangle or outside the triangle.
    1. Sample Input:
      0.0 0.0
      9.0 0.1
      0.5 9.0
      2.0 1.9
    2. Sample Output:
      The point (2.0 1.9) is inside the triangle with coordinates (0.0, 0.0), (9.0, 0.1), and (0.5, 9.0)
    3. Test your program with the following triangles and targets [but your program should handle any triangle/target combination]
      i) (2.2, 5.6) (1.1, 2.2) (3.4, 4.7) target: (2.5, 3.0)
      ii) (-4.2, 3.0) (-2.7,3.0) (-9.1, 8.18) target: (-4.4, 3.8)
    4. Note: you may assume that the coordinate pairs will be given to the nearest 1/10 (i.e. 0.1) to avoid representation/roundoff errors.

To be turned in for scoring:

  1. The listing of your program with appropriate commenting.
  2. The output of each problem should be sent to a file called "recursiveBinaryTriangle.txt" with appropriate headers.
    This file should be printed out and stapled to the back of your program listing.
