  1. Exam1 Review Dr. Bernard Chen Ph.D. University of Central Arkansas Spring 2010

  2. Software Development Phases • Problem Analysis and Specification • Design • Coding • Testing, Execution, and Debugging • Maintenance

  3. Software Development Model • One of the earliest strategies for development software is known as the Waterfall Model

  4. Waterfall Model

  5. Realistic Waterfall Model

  6. Software Development Phases • Problem Analysis and Specification • Design • Coding • Testing, Execution, and Debugging • Maintenance

  7. Testing, Execution, and Debugging • Errors happen all the time!!! • There are three different points at which errors can be introduced: • Syntax errors • Run-time errors • Logic errors

  8. The "V" Life Cycle Model

  9. Two major types of testing • Black box testing: Outputs produced for various inputs • Checked for correctness • Do not consider structure of program component itself. (so basically, it just test a lot of different inputs and match with the expected outputs )

  10. Two major types of testing • White box testing: examine code’s internal structure (Test for every loop, if statement, functions…) • Test data is carefully selected

  11. What is Algorithm Analysis? • Algorithm: A clearly specified finite set of instructions a computer follows to solve a problem. • Algorithm analysis: a process of determining the amount of time, resource, etc. required when executing an algorithm.

  12. Big O Notation • Big O notation is used to capture the most dominant term in a function, and to represent the growth rate. • Also called asymptotic upper bound. Ex: 100n3 + 30000n =>O(n3) 100n3 + 2n5+ 30000n =>O(n5)

  13. Sequential Search • A sequential search steps through the data sequentially until an match is found. • A sequential search is useful when the array is not sorted. • A sequential search is linear O(n) (i.e. proportional to the size of input) • Unsuccessful search --- n times • Successful search (worst) --- n times • Successful search (average) --- n/2 times

  14. Binary Search • If the array has been sorted, we can use binary search, which is performed from the middle of the array rather than the end. • We keep track of low_end and high_end, which delimit the portion of the array in which an item, if present, must reside. • If low_end is larger than high_end, we know the item is not present.

  15. Binary Search 3-ways comparisons int binarySearch(vector<int> a[], int x){ int low = 0; int high = a.size() – 1; int mid; while(low < high) { mid = (low + high) / 2; if(a[mid] < x) low = mid + 1; else if( a[mid] > x) high = mid - 1; else return mid; } return NOT_FOUND; // NOT_FOUND = -1 }//binary search using three-ways comparisons

  16. The Max. Contiguous Subsequence • Given (possibly negative) integers A1, A2, .., An, find (and identify the sequence corresponding to) the max. value of sum of Ak where k = i -> j. The max. contiguous sequence sum is zero if all the integer are negative. • {-2, 11, -4, 13, -5, 2} =>20 • {1, -3, 4, -2, -1, 6} => 7

  17. O(N) Algorithm template <class Comparable> int maxSubsequenceSum(int a[]){ int n = a.size(); int thisSum = 0, maxSum = 0; int i=0; for( int j = 0; j < n; j++){ thisSum += a[j]; if( thisSum > maxSum){ maxSum = thisSum; seqStart = i; seqEnd = j; }else if( thisSum < 0) { i = j + 1; thisSum = 0; } } return maxSum; }//figure 6.8

  18. Introduction to Stacks • This type of last-in-first-out processing occurs in a wide variety of applications • This last-in-first-out (LIFO) data structure is called a Stack • Adding an item to a stack is referred to as pushing that item onto the stack • Removing an item from the stack is referred to as popping the stack

  19. Designing and Building a Stack class • The basic functions are: • Constructor: construct an empty stack • Empty(): Examines whether the stack is empty or not • Push(): Add a value at the top of the stack • Top(): Read the value at the top of the stack • Pop(): Remove the value at the top of the stack • Display(): Displays all the elements in the stack

  20. Select position 0 as bottom of the stack • A better approach is to let position 0 be the bottom of the stack • Thus our design will include • An array to hold the stack elements • An integer to indicate the top of the stack

  21. Implementing Linked Stack Operations • Constructor • Simply assign null pointer to myTop • Empty • Check for myTop == null • Push • Insertion at beginning of list • Top • Return data to which myToppoints

  22. Implementing Linked Stack Operations • Pop • Delete first node in the linked listptr = myTop;myTop = myTop->next;delete ptr; • Output • Traverse the listfor (ptr = myTop; ptr != 0; ptr = ptr->next) out << ptr->data << endl;

  23. Functions related to Stack • Constructor: vector<int> L; • Empty(): L.size() == 0? • Push(): L.push_back(value); • Top(): L.back(); • Pop(): L.pop_back(); • Display(): Write your own

  24. Introduction to Queues • A queue is a waiting line • It’s in daily life: • A line of persons waiting to check out at a supermarket • A line of persons waiting to purchase a ticket for a film • A line of planes waiting to take off at an airport • A line of vehicles at a toll booth

  25. Introduction to Queues • Difference between Stack and Queues: • Stack exhibits last-in-first-out (LIFO) • Queue exhibits first-in-first-out (FIFO)

  26. Queue ADT • Basic operations • Construct a queue • Check if empty • Enqueue (add element to back) • Front (retrieve value of element from front) • Dequeue (remove element from front)

  27. Designing and Building a Queue Class Array-Based • Consider an array in which to store a queue • Note additional variables needed • myFront, myBack • Picture a queueobject like this

  28. Circular Queue • Problems • We quickly "walk off the end" of the array • Possible solutions • Shift array elements • Use a circular queue • Note that both emptyand full queuegives myBack == myFront

  29. Circular Queue • Using a static array • QUEUE_CAPACITY specified • Enqueue increments myBack using mod operator, checks for full queue • Dequeue increments myFront using mod operator, checks for empty queue

  30. Circular Example Both Front and Back wraparound as needed. b c d e f Front Back g b c d e f Back Front

  31. Queue Full Situation • If an item were stored in the last position, and an Enqueure() occurred • myBack would be incremented by 1, giving it the same value as myFront • However, myFront == myBack indicates the queue is empty • Thus, we cannot distinguish between empty and full • We may avoid this situation by maintaining one empty position, so that myFront will never equal to myBack unless the queue is empty

  32. Algorithm for Enqueue(value) • 1. Set newBack == (myBack+1)%Queue_capacity • 2. If newBack == myFront Signal “Queue Full” otherwise: Set Array[myBack] == value Set myBack == newBack

  33. Algorithm for Dequeue() • If queue is empty signal “Queue Empty” Otherwise Set myFront=(myFront+1)%Queue_capacity

  34. Enqueue and Front Enqueue (add element to back) This is the same with push(), therefore: L.push_back(value); Front (retrieve value of element from front) L.begin();

  35. Dequeue Dequeue (remove element from front) L.erase(L.begin()); L.begin() is an iterator, in erase(), you cannot just gives the location

  36. Queue + Stack SCROLL: a queue-stack hybrid model Thus, you may have functions in both— Push(value)=Enqueue(value) Pop(); Top() --- top of stack Dequeue(); Front()

  37. Consider Every Day Lists • Groceries to be purchased • Job to-do list • List of assignments for a course • Dean's list • Can you name some others??

  38. LIST ADT • Collection of data elements • A sequence with a finite number of data items, all of the same type • Basic operations • Construction---create a empty list • Empty---check if the list is empty • Insert---insert an item • Delete---remove a item • Traverse---go through the list or part of it

  39. Static Array based • Insert: we need to do • Check the capacity • Need to move array elements to make room for the new element

  40. Static Array based • Algorithm for insert: If size is equal to capacity: display error due to limit space If pos < 0 or pos > size: display error due to error position Else: for i in rangeing from size to pos+1: array[i]=array[i-1] //C++ starts index from 0 array[pos]=item size++

  41. Static Array based • The efficiency of this insert algorithm obviously depends on the number of array elements that must be shifted to make room for the new item • In worst case, the new item must be inserted at the beginning of the list O(n) • The best case occurs when the new item is inserted at the end of it O(1) • Two important special kinds of lists for which are stacks and queues

  42. Static Array based • Delete: also requires shifting array elements • For example, to delete the second item in: 23, 25, 34, 48, 56, 61, 79, 82, 89, 91, 99

  43. Static Array based • Algorithm for delete: If size is zero: issue a error message If pos <0 or pos >=size: issue an error message Otherwise: for index i ranging from pos to size-2: array[i]=array[i+1] size--

  44. Linked List • Linked list nodes contain • Data part – stores an element of the list • Next part – stores link/pointer to next element (when no next element, null value)

  45. Traverse • We begin by initializing an auxiliary variable ptr to point to the first node: • Initialize a variable ptr to point to first node • Process data where ptr points

  46. Insertion • To insert a new data value into a linked list, we must first obtain a new node and store the value in its data part • The second step is to connect this new node to existing list • Two cases in this situation: (1) insertion after some element in the list and (2) insertion at the beginning of the list

  47. predptr 20 newptr Insertion • Insertion • To insert 20 after 17 • Need address of item before point of insertion • predptr points to the node containing 17 • Get a new node pointed to by newptr and store 20 in it • Set the next pointer of this new node equal to the next pointer in its predecessor, thus making it point to its successor. • Reset the next pointer of its predecessor to point to this new node

  48. Deletion • For deletion, there are also two cases to consider: • Deleting an element that has a predecessor • Delete the first element in the list

  49. predptr To free space Deletion ptr • Delete node containing 22 from list. • Suppose ptr points to the node to be deleted • predptr points to its predecessor (the 17) • Do a bypass operation: • Set the next pointer in the predecessor to point to the successor of the node to be deleted • Deallocate the node being deleted.

  50. Array-Based Implementation of Linked Lists • Given a list with names • Implementation would look like this
