Staff reserve the right to invite students to a meeting to discuss coursework submissions Page 2 of 9 Assignment Part 1 – Algorithms and Data Structure [Total: 60 marks] All code must be written by you, although you can use the lecture notes (and lab exercises), textbooks, and the Oracle Java website for guidance. A) Extracting words from a text document is the first step for many text-based applications of artificial intelligence, e.g., detecting abusive tweets on Twitter. This task asks you to extract all valid words from the document “an_article.txt” based on a given vocabulary “google-10000-english-no-swears.txt1 ” (you can download both files from the Learning Central). Specifically, if a word token from “an_article.txt” matches a word in “google-10000-english-no-swears.txt” (case insensitively), you keep that word, otherwise you discard it. You should use ArrayList to store data within the Java program, so the return of this task is an ArrayList containing all valid words from “an_article.txt”. Note that these two text files are relatively big, you should consider how to make your program efficient. [30 marks] (Functionality: 16, Design: 10, Ease of use: 2, Presentation: 2) B) Implement the merge sort (the pseudocode for merge sort is available in the lecture slides) in order to sort the words obtained from above in alphabetical order, i.e., the output of your program will be the sorted words in alphabetical order. For the merge sort algorithm write a method e.g. mergeSort(…), measure • time that is needed to sort 100 of the words, 200 of the words, 300 of the words, etc. up to all words by the algorithm. • count the moves/comparisons that occur while sorting elements o (Before attempting this exercise you should work through the Algorithms lab exercises, available on Learning Central. The techniques used there will help you to work out how to approach this part of the coursework, in particular there are examples of how to time algorithms and count the moves and swaps.) [20 marks] (Functionality: 12, Design: 4, Ease of use: 2, Presentation: 2) C) You should create two methods for a data structure of LinkedList. Your data structure should have the class name MyLinkedList. The two methods that should be implemented are: • Adding element at specific location in the list: public void addAtPosition(int position, String item){…} • Deleting an element from the list at specific position where the method should return which Node is deleted: public Node deleteAtPosition(int position){…} 1 This vocabulary contains a list of the 10,000 most common English words in order of frequency of the Google's Trillion Word Corpus. Page 3 of 9 In both methods handle errors properly (e.g. what happens if position does not exist). There will be a skeleton code of MyLinkedList available on Learning central that contains: Node class, MyLinkedList class with calculateSize(), addFirst(), addLast(), traverse(), findByPosition() methods and signatures for two methods addAtPosition(int position, String item), deleteAtPosition(int position) that you should implement. You can reuse any implemented methods in the provided skeleton code. You ARE NOT allowed to change any parts of the implemented methods of the provided code. [10 marks] (Functionality: 10, Design: 0, Ease of use: 0, Presentation: 0) Criteria for Assessment of Part 1 Credit will be awarded against the following criteria. Functionality • To what extent does the program perform the task(s) required by the question and how efficient it is. Design • How well designed is the code, particularly with respect to the ease with which it may be maintained or extended. In particular, consideration will be given to: • Use of appropriate types, program control structures and classes from the core API. • Definition of appropriate classes and methods. • Creativity/consideration of achieving efficient algorithms. • An ‘excellent’ design of code will carefully consider using most suitable data structures and aiming for efficient and elegant algorithms. A ‘bad’ design of code pays little/no attention to data structure and algorithm efficiency. Ease of use • Formatting of input/output. • Interaction with the user. • How does the code deal with invalid user input? Will the applications crash for certain data? Documentation and presentation • Appropriate use of comments. • Readability of code. • Clear and appropriate screenshots. Page 4 of 9 Part 2 - Design and Implementation of Design Patterns [Total: 40 marks] For each of the following tasks, a list of files is included in the present coursework specification at the end for your convenience. Task 1 Download the zip archive file from Learning Central that contains the source code files for this task: ExampleTest.java. Consider the following UML class diagram, describing a particular kind of singleton, where accessCount() returns the number of times the singleton has been accessed via the getInstance() method: ExampleSingleton -accessCount: int -singletonInstance: ExampleSingleton -ExampleSingleton() +getInstance(): ExampleSingleton +accessCount(): int (i) State the purpose of the Singleton design pattern. (ii) Write an implementation of ExampleSingleton.java such that: a. The ExampleSingleton () constructor would print out the message “I, the ExampleSingleton, am being created”. b. The getInstance () method should print out the message “The sole instance of ExampleSingleton is being retrieved”. c. When the main() method in ExampleTest.java is executed, it will generate the following output on the standard output stream: I, the ExampleSingleton, am being created The sole instance of ExampleSingleton is being retrieved The ExampleSingleton has been accessed via the getInstance() method 1 time(s) The sole instance of ExampleSingleton is being retrieved The ExampleSingleton has been accessed via the getInstance() method 2 time(s) (iii) Explain how the ExampleSingleton class works, drawing attention to the features which are intended to control creation of, and access to, singletons. [10 marks] Task 2 Download the zip archive file from Learning Central that contains the source code files for this task: CelsiusLogger.java, Test.java. Consider the following UML class diagram, describing a particular kind of Adapter, involving two basic types of temperature logger: one which logs the most recently measured temperature in degrees Fahrenheit; and the other, in degrees Celsius: Page 5 of 9 (i) State the purpose of the Adapter design pattern (ii) Write an implementation of FahrenheitLogger. The getTemperature() and setTemperature() methods should be written as accessors which get and set the values for theTemperature variable, without any side-effects. (iii) Write an implementation of the class CelsiusToFahrenheitLoggerAdapter. When the adapter is created, it should create the FahrenheitLogger to which it refers. Its methods should do the following: • setTemperature() should call the FahrenheitLogger’s setTemperature() method with parameter (aCelsiusTemperature * 9/5 + 32) • getTemperature() should call the FahrenheitLogger’s getTemperature() method and return (((the FahreneitLogger’s temperature) – 32) * 5/9) (iv) Describe in your own words how the implementation of the CelsiusToFahrenheitLoggerAdapter class works, drawing attention to the role of each of the classes implemented to realize this design pattern. [10 marks] Task 3 Download the zip archive file from Learning Central that contains the source code files for this task: WeatherRecorder.java, WeatherObserver.java, WarningWatcher.java, TestWeather.java. This Java program is an incomplete implementation that uses the Observer design pattern to print out alerts when specific weather forecast events occur. The observers are monitoring for “Warning” events. One monitors for warning events for England, the other for Wales. The TestWeather class illustrates how the WeatherRecorder/WeatherObserver code might be used. The program should produce the following output: The WarningWatcher watching for Warnings for Wales has noticed a new warning: "Very Windy" The WarningWatcher watching for Warnings for England has noticed a new warning: "Very Snowy" (i) State the purpose of the Observer design pattern (ii) Draw a UML class diagram representing the resulting Observer design pattern in this program and explain the role of each of the classes in realising this design pattern. (iii) Modify the following methods, as indicated in the attached code comments, in order that the above output can be obtained: • The WeatherRecorder attach() method • the WeatherRecorder notifyObservers() method • the WarningWatcher update() method. Page 6 of 9 (iv) Carefully explain how your minor changes in the methods contribute to the implementation of the Observer design pattern. [20 marks] Criteria for Assessment of Part 2 Credit will be awarded against the following specific criteria. Ability to: • Understand the purpose of a Java program and apply principles of good object- oriented design in order to create a critique and/or modify the supplied programs (check the source code files provided); • Apply and implement design patterns that pertain to a specified programming task; • Reflect on the application of design patterns in OO Java programs. Feedback on your performance will address each of the above criteria. The total mark is a weighted sum of marks for the different tasks. The following will help you to interpret the marks awarded for each task: 0-49%: The submitted answer only addresses the tasks to a very limited extent. Some attempt has been made to address the tasks, and the code mostly works. 50-59%: The tasks have been completed, the code “works”, but minimal insight has been shown. 60-69%: The tasks have been completed, the code “works”, and some clear insight has been shown. 70-100%: An excellent implementation, showing a good degree of insight and reflection, and the code is of good quality. Learning Outcomes Assessed This assignment particularly addresses the following module learning outcomes: • Critically evaluate design patterns and their applicability to different scenarios • Select and use appropriate algorithms and data structures to provide best performance in a given scenario Code Reuse Your solutions may make use of any classes in the Core Java API. You may also reproduce small pieces of code from: • The CMT219 course handouts and solutions • java.oracle.com • any textbooks provided: • The section reproduced does not form the entire solution to a single question • The source of the code is clearly referenced in your source code • Your code is commented to demonstrate clearly that you understand how the reproduced code works (i.e., explain why types have been selected, why other language features have been used, etc.) You may NOT reproduce code written by any other student or code downloaded from any other website. If you are in any doubt about whether you may include a piece of code that you have not written yourself, ask the lecturer before submitting. Page 7 of 9 See “Referencing in code guidance” at Learning Central → COMSC-SCHOOL → Learning Materials → Referencing in code guidance. Feedback and Suggestion for Future Learning Feedback on your coursework will address the above criteria. Feedback and marks will be returned via Learning Central. There will be opportunity for individual feedback during an agreed time.
