Homework 9: Pattern Matching

Homework 9: Pattern Matching 
Important There are general homework guidelines you must always follow. If you fail to follow any of the following guidelines you risk receiving a 0 for the entire assignment. 1. All submitted code must compile under JDK 8. This includes unused code, so don’t submit extra files that don’t compile. Any compile errors will result in a 0. 2. Do not include any package declarations in your classes. 3. Do not change any existing class headers, constructors, instance/global variables, or method signatures. 4. Do not add additional public methods. 5. Do not use anything that would trivialize the assignment. (e.g. don’t import/use java.util.ArrayList for an Array List assignment. Ask if you are unsure.) 6. Always be very conscious of efficiency. Even if your method is to be O(n), traversing the structure multiple times is considered inefficient unless that is absolutely required (and that case is extremely rare). 7. You must submit your source code, the .java files, not the compiled .class files. 8. After you submit your files, redownload them and run them to make sure they are what you intended to submit. You are responsible if you submit the wrong files. Pattern Matching For this assignment you will be coding 3 different pattern matching algorithms: Boyer-Moore, KnuthMorris-Pratt, and Brute Force. There is information about all three in the interface and more information about Boyer-Moore and KMP in the book (also under resources on T-Square). If you implement any of the three algorithms in an unexpected manner (i.e. contrary to what the Javadocs and PDF specify), you may receive a 0. For all of the algorithms, make sure you check the simple failure cases as soon as possible. For example, if the pattern is longer than the text, don’t do any preprocessing on the pattern/text. Knuth-Morris-Pratt Failure Table Construction The Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) algorithm relies on using the prefix of the pattern to determine how much to shift the pattern by. The algorithm itself uses what is known as the failure table (also called failure function). There are different ways of calculating the failure table, but we are expecting one specific format described below. For any string pattern, have a pointer i starting at the first letter, a pointer j starting at the second letter, a table called table that is the length of the pattern. Then, while j is still a valid index within pattern: • If the characters pointed to by i and j match, then write i + 1 to index j of the table and increment i and j. • If the characters pointed to by i and j do not match: 1 Homework 9: Pattern Matching Due: See T-Square – If i is not at 0, then change i to table[i - 1]. Do not increment j or write any value to the table. – If i is at 0, then write i to index j of the table. Increment only j. For example, for the string abacab, the failure table will be: a b a c a b 0 0 1 0 1 2 For the string ababac, the failure table will be: a b a b a c 0 0 1 2 3 0 For the string abaababa, the failure table will be: a b a a b a b a 0 0 1 1 2 3 2 3 For the string aaaaaa, the failure table will be: a a a a a a 0 1 2 3 4 5 Searching Algorithm For the main searching algorithm, the search acts like a standard brute-force search for the most part, but in the case of a mismatch: • If the mismatch occurs at index 0 of the pattern, then shift the pattern by 1. • If the mismatch occurs at index j of the pattern and index i of the text, then shift the pattern such that index failure[j-1] of the pattern lines up with index i of the text, where failure is the failure table. Then, continue the comparisons at index i of the text (or index failure[j-1] of the pattern). Do not restart at index 0 of the pattern. In addition, when a match is found, instead of shifting the pattern over by 1 to continue searching for more matches, the pattern should be shifted over by failure[j-1], where j is at pattern.length. CharacterComparator CharacterComparator is a comparator that takes in two characters. This allows you to see how many times you have called compare(). We will be looking at the number of times you call compare() while grading. If you do not use the passed in comparator, this will cause tests to fail and will significantly lower your grade on this assignment. Grading Here is the grading breakdown for the assignment. There are various deductions not listed that are incurred when breaking the rules listed in this PDF, and in other various circumstances. 2 Homework 9: Pattern Matching Due: See T-Square Methods: kmp 20pts buildFailureTable 10pts boyerMoore 20pts buildLastTable 10pts bruteForce 15pts Other: Checkstyle 10pts Efficiency 15pts Total: 100pts A note on JUnits We have provided a very basic set of tests for your code, in PatternMatchingStudentTests.java. These tests do not guarantee the correctness of your code (by any measure), nor does it guarantee you any grade. You may additionally post your own set of tests for others to use on the Georgia Tech GitHub as a gist. Do NOT post your tests on the public GitHub. There will be a link to the Georgia Tech GitHub as well as a list of JUnits other students have posted on the class Piazza. If you need help on running JUnits, there is a guide, available on T-Square under Resources, to help you run JUnits on the command line or in IntelliJ. Style and Formatting It is important that your code is not only functional but is also written clearly and with good style. We will be checking your code against a style checker that we are providing. It is located in T-Square, under Resources, along with instructions on how to use it. We will take off a point for every style error that occurs. If you feel like what you wrote is in accordance with good style but still sets off the style checker please email Raymond Ortiz (rortiz9@gatech.edu) with the subject header of “CheckStyle XML”. Javadocs Javadoc any helper methods you create in a style similar to the existing Javadocs. If a method is overridden or implemented from a superclass or an interface, you may use @Override instead of writing Javadocs. Any Javadocs you write must be useful and describe the contract, parameters, and return value of the method; random or useless javadocs added only to appease Checkstyle will lose points. Exceptions When throwing exceptions, you must include a message by passing in a String as a parameter. The message must be useful and tell the user what went wrong. “Error”, “BAD THING HAPPENED”, and “fail” are not good messages. The name of the exception itself is not a good message. For example: Bad: throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index is out of bounds."); Good: throw new IllegalArgumentException("Cannot insert null data into data structure."); 3 Homework 9: Pattern Matching Due: See T-Square Generics If available, use the generic type of the class; do not use the raw type of the class. For example, use new LinkedList() instead of new LinkedList(). Using the raw type of the class will result in a penalty. Forbidden Statements You may not use these in your code at any time in CS 1332. • break may only be used in switch-case statements • continue • package • System.arraycopy() • clone() • assert() • Arrays class • Array class • Collections class • Collection.toArray() • Reflection APIs • Inner or nested classes • Lambda Expressions • Method References If you’re not sure on whether you can use something, and it’s not mentioned here or anywhere else in the homework files, just ask. Debug print statements are fine, but nothing should be printed when we run your code. We expect clean runs - printing to the console when we’re grading will result in a penalty. If you submit these, we will take off points. Provided The following file(s) have been provided to you. There are several, but you will edit only one of them. 1. PatternMatching.java This is the class in which you will implement the different pattern matching algorithms. Feel free to add private static helper methods but do not add any new public methods, new classes, instance variables, or static variables. 2. PatternMatchingStudentTests.java This is the test class that contains a set of tests covering the basic operations on the PatternMatching class. It is not intended to be exhaustive and does not guarantee any type of grade. Write your own tests to ensure you cover all edge cases. 4 Homework 9: Pattern Matching Due: See T-Square 3. CharacterComparator.java This is a comparator that will be used to count the number of comparisons used. You must use this comparator. Do not modify this file. Deliverables You must submit all of the following file(s). Please make sure the filename matches the filename(s) below, and that only the following file(s) are present. T-Square does not delete files from old uploads; you must do this manually. Failure to do so may result in a penalty. After submitting, be sure you receive the confirmation email from T-Square, and then download your uploaded files to a new folder, copy over the interfaces, recompile, and run. It is your responsibility to re-test your submission and discover editing oddities, upload issues, etc. 1. PatternMatching.java 5
