  1. Today’s topics Java Implementing Decision Trees Upcoming More formal treatment of grammars Reading Great Ideas, Chapter 2

  2. A decision treeSelecting a textbook 3 yes Oh! Pascal by D. Cooper 1 A programming focus instead of theory yes 4 Algorithmics by D. Harel 0 Do you wish a Mathematical Approach? no yes 5 Karel the Robot by R. Pattis 2 A narrow focus instead of an overview of CS no 6 Great Ideas in CS by A. Biermann no

  3. Implementing a Decision Tree • Start with a very very simple tree • Have just one level of decision • Need only one ifstatement • Have already done this kind of thing before • No new challenges

  4. Code for Simple Tree public class SimpBook extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener { TextField mQuery, mAnswer; Button bYes, bNo; public void init() { mQuery = new TextField(70); mQuery.setText( "Do you wish a mathematical approach?"); bYes = new Button("Yes"); bNo = new Button("No"); mAnswer = new TextField(70); bYes.addActionListener(this); bNo.addActionListener(this); add(mQuery); add(bYes); add(bNo); add(mAnswer); }

  5. Code for Simple Tree (part 2) public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { Object cause = event.getSource(); if (cause == bYes) { mAnswer.setText( "Books by Harel or Cooper are nice."); } else// must have been the No button { mAnswer.setText( "Books by Pattis or Biermann should do."); } } }

  6. The Full Decision Tree • Now have more levels to worry about • Have picked up an additional problem • Need to keep track of where we are (or have been) • (Almost like exploring a cave -- ) • (-- or putting book marks in a book) • Add a variable which is used to record where we’ve been • Use the numbers on our diagram for reference • (numbers are arbitrary; must be unique) • Named the variable myLocation to suggest use

  7. Code for the Decision Tree public class BookPick extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener { TextField mQuery, mAnswer; Button bYes, bNo; int myLocation; public void init() { mQuery = new TextField(70); mQuery.setText("Do you wish a mathematical approach?"); bYes = new Button("Yes"); bNo = new Button("No"); myLocation = 0; mAnswer = new TextField(70); bYes.addActionListener(this); bNo.addActionListener(this); add(mQuery); add(bYes); add(bNo); add(mAnswer); }

  8. Code for the Decision Tree (p. 2) public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { Object cause = event.getSource(); if (myLocation == 0) { if (cause == bYes) { myLocation = 1; mQuery.setText( "A programming focus instead of theory?"); } if (cause == bNo) { myLocation = 2; mQuery.setText( "Narrow focus instead of overview of CS?"); } }

  9. Code for the Decision Tree (p. 3) elseif (myLocation == 1) { if (cause == bYes) { myLocation = 3; mAnswer.setText( "I recommend 'Oh! Pascal' by D. Cooper."); } if (cause == bNo) { myLocation = 4; mAnswer.setText( "'Algorithmics' by D. Harel is a fine book."); } }

  10. Code for the Decision Tree (p. 4) elseif (myLocation == 2) { if (cause == bYes) { myLocation = 5; mAnswer.setText( "Try 'Karel the Robot' by R. Pattis."); } if (cause == bNo) { myLocation = 6; mAnswer.setText( "Enjoy A. Biermann's 'Great Ideas in CS'"); } } } }

  11. General Decision Trees • How can we can extend this to any size tree? • Assume we can use yes or no answers all the way through • Notice that at each on the tree we have another tree • At each step we use code similar to our simple tree • Must keep track of where we’ve been • For more general branching (not just yes/no) need a bit more • Not hard to adapt • General ideas the same
