Challenges in Assignment 4

Posted by Hui Wu Monday 27 April 2020, 11:45:55 AM.

Dear All,

The last assignment requires you put together your knowledge about arrays, linked lists, priority queues and graphs and design complex data structures and associated algorithms.

First of all, you need to work out the major data structures for representing the edge-weighted digraph for the bus network. The key data structure is the adjacency lists which is a one-dimensional array where each element stores the corresponding bus stop names and a pointer to a linked list that stores all the outgoing adjacent vertices with respect to the vertex denoted by this element. In addition, each element of this array may need to store other information depending on your design. For example, you may find it is necessary to store a pointer to the node that contains the information of this vertex when you use a priority queue for Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm.

For each node in an adjacency list, your may need to store the distance between the two bus stops and a pointer to another linked list that stores all the buses stopping at this vertex (bus stops).

For the problem of finding maximal strongly connected components, you need to be aware that the digraph is a special one, not a general one. If you use DFS or BFS to find maximal strongly connected components, you need to prove that your algorithm is correct, i.e. using DFS or BFS is guaranteed to find all the maximal strongly connected components.

For the priority used in Dijkstra's algorithm, you need to implement another operation (function) updateKey( int index, int newKey), where index is the index of the vertex and newKey is the new key of the vertex. With the index, we can directly get the pointer to its node in the priority queue via the additional pointer stored in the one-dimensional array in O(1) time.

What I suggested above is just a guide. You need to work out the C data structures. Of course, you can have your own wisdom and creativity to design better data structures and algorithms.

In summary, you need to have a global view of the data structures and algorithms for this assignment before coding.

Stay safe and healthy,

Hui

Posted by Hui Wu Monday 20 April 2020, 10:18:56 PM.

Dear All,

I have released the exam paper that was written for this term. You can find it on the Problem Sets page. As you all know, there is no more exam. Some students want to know what the exam looks like. Therefore, I release this exam paper. You may have a try to test your understanding of course material.

The main Function and README

Posted by Hui Wu Monday 20 April 2020, 07:17:36 PM.

Dear All,

I have added more instructions about the main function and README which read as follows:

Main function

Your program needs to include a main function for testing all the four functions. You have freedom to design your main. However, you need to describe how a user uses your main to test your program with different files defining a bus network in MEADME.pdf.

README.pdf

You are required to prepare a file named README.pdf. README.pdf should contain the following components:

1. A paragraph that gives a simple description of the command for compiling your program and the platform you used to run your program.

2. Detailed descriptions about how to test your program using your main function.

3. Any other useful comments for marker.

Cheers,

Hui

Assignment 4 Specification Revised

Posted by Hui Wu Sunday 19 April 2020, 06:43:46 PM.

Dear All,

I have made changes to the parameters of the last two functions. Now the parameters of the last two functions include four more parameters which collectively define a bus network. I also fixed several typos. Please download the specification again.

Best,

Hui

Assignment 4 Released

Posted by Hui Wu Saturday 18 April 2020, 01:01:55 PM.

Dear All,

The last assignment has been released. As I said in the lecture, this assignment is significantly harder than all the previous assignments. Since the final exam has been cancelled, we use this assignment to partly replace the final exam. You need to work more independently. Hence, I will not provide any C template and sample main function. You need to work them out on your own.

This assignment may take a large amount of time. Please start as soon as possible.

Online help sessions will continue next week, and will be no longer available in Week 11. However, I will continue to provide online consultation in Thursday afternoon and answer your questions on the forum.

There will be no lecture next week.

Stay safe and healthy!

Marking Scheme of Assignment 3

Posted by Hui Wu Thursday 09 April 2020, 12:22:25 PM.

Dear All,

I have included the marking scheme for Assignment 2 to the assignment specification.

Marking scheme:

1. Implementation of binomial heap 4 marks

2. EDF Task scheduler (90%) + time complexity analysis of task scheduler (10%) 6 marks

As we may expect different implementations, 4 marks for the implementation cannot be distributed to each function.

For the EDF yask scheduler, the time complexity is worth 10%, which is 10%*6= 0.6 mark, and the task scheduler is work 90%, which is 90%*6=5.4 marks.

The deadline is 11:59pm Thursday 16 April.

Cheers,

Hui

COMP9024 Has No Impact on WAM

Posted by Hui Wu Monday 30 March 2020, 04:07:21 PM.

Final Exam

Posted by Hui Wu Monday 30 March 2020, 03:32:48 PM.

Dear COMP9024 Students,

The final exam has been cancelled. The new assessment scheme is as follows:

• Each assignment is scaled up from 10 marks to 25 marks.
• The final result is in the form of Pass/Fail.

I have had a difficult time in order to make a reasonable decision. We have no way to ensure the accuracy of an online exam. I understand that many students would be disappointed with this decision as they have been working very hard and expect to receive good marks. I feel very sorry for those students.

What I want to emphasise is that what you have learned in this course is most important. Without the final exam, you can put more efforts to understand the course material and improve your skills in algorithms and data structures. In addition to assignments, you can practise on the weekly problem sets and questions in the textbooks as well as the questions on internet. For example, this website hosts a large number of questions on data structures and algorithms:

https://blog.usejournal.com/500-data-structures-and-algorithms-practice-problems-35afe8a1e222

I also added this link to Online Resources on the course website.

Since we have no final exam, we have more time for assignments. I will extend the deadline of Assignment 3 to 16 April and will give you more time for the last assignment.

Best wishes,

Hui

Assignment 1 Marks released

Posted by Wael Alghamdi Tuesday 24 March 2020, 09:55:08 PM.

Dear Students,

I have released the marks for assignment 1. I would like to point out few comments on this assignment.

1- I have marked it for the entire class so please consult with me if you have any question or if you wish to discuss your mark. DO NOT email the LiC (Hui Wu) to discuss the mark (unless stated in my comments otherwise). I will have virtual office hours on Wednesday 25 of March from 7-9 pm. I will be happy to respond over email, Microsoft Teams (z3478725@ad.unsw.edu.au), and WeChat.

2- I have made comments for every students who did not get a full mark. However, I was very nice in marking and consider the fact that some of you did not take the programming fundamental course yet. **If you Submit the assignment and your mark is not shown please drop me a line**

3- Some submitted code did not run or compile even though I was using “cse vlab”, However I still went through the code and marked it. If you think your mark unfair, that’s why I do have virtual office hours. Come and talk, we can fix it.

4- Very rarely, Some people got “Zero”, not because their mark is actually zero, but because I need to consult with the student and mark it again.

5- Always useful to leave comments in your code, it helps both of us…

6- Please check you code before submission especially if you had to modify the given main method. I had to fix some codes to make it run.

7- Please, next time follow the instructions of the file name, what and how to submit.

8- Take a look for the Marks Ranging if you like. The x axis is the marks range while the bars is the number of students who their marks fall in that range. Good Job everyone...Well done:)

All the best,
Wael Alghamdi ( Course Admin)

Correction to Slide 13 of Self-Balancing Search Trees (Week 4)

Posted by Hui Wu Sunday 22 March 2020, 02:42:45 PM.

Dear All,

On the previous slide 13, there is a paragraph that reads as follows:

- As this restructuring may upset the balance of another node higher in the tree, we must continue checking for balance until the root of T is reached.

This is wrong. This slide was taken from the book "data structures and algorithms in java" written by M.T. Goodrich, R. Tamassia, and D.M. Mount, and I forgot to remove it.

I have removed this paragraph and added the following sentence:

After this restructuring, the whole tree becomes balanced.

It is easy to prove that at most one tri-node restructuring is required. We just need to prove that after the tri-node restructuring the height of the subtree rooted at node b is equal to the height of the subtree previously rooted at z -1, which is straightforward.

However, in programming, we still need to visit all the ancestors of node b to update their heights.

Thank Yuan Tao for pointing this out.

Hui

About Timetable, Online Course Material and Other Issues

Dear All,

In the previous course outline, time and locations were incorrect. I have fixed them and added links to the locations so that it's easier for you to find them.

The current lecture notes and problem sets are mainly for those who study in advance, and may be subject to change. The latest lecture notes will be available the day before the lecture and the latest problem set for each week will be available on the Monday.

Only recently, CSE removed COMP9021 from the prerequisite of COMP9024. To help students who don't have any programming experience, I will arrange two labs, starting with Week 2, where you can get help from tutors. Details about labs will be available early next week. Depending on the need, I will arrange more labs if needed.

The programming language in this course is C. C is used in all the four assignments and will not be examinable in the final exam.

There are two assessment components:

1. Four assignments (40%).

2. Final exam (60%). The final exam is a written exam.

See you guys at 4pm at Physics Theatre next Tuesday.

Cheers,

Hui

Correction to Lecture Start Time

Dear All,

The correct start time for all the lectures is 4:00pm, NOT 6pm. Sorry for the mistake in the previous announcement. Thanks Carolina Ibacache Astudillo for pointing this out.

For those working full-time, please make proper arrangements for the lectures (twice a week, Tue and Fri).

All the best,

Hui
