Assignment 1 Linear Data Types

CIS 313, Intermediate Data Structures Programming Assignment 1

0 Instructions
Submit your work through Canvas. You should submit a tar file containing all source files and a README
for running your project.
More precisely, submit on Canvas a tar file named lastname.tar (where lastname is your last name) that
contains:
• All source files. You can choose any language that builds and runs on ix-dev.
• A file named README that contains your name and the exact commands for building and running
your project on ix-dev. If the commands you provide don’t work on ix-dev, then your project can’t be
graded and you’ll be required to resubmit with a significant penalty.
Here is an example of what to submit:
hampton.tar
README
my class1.py
my class2.py
my class3.py
problem.py
another problem.py
...
README
Andrew Hampton
Problem 1: python problem1.py input
Problem 2: python problem2.py input
...
Note that Canvas might change the name of the file that you submit to something like lastname-N.tar. This
is totally fine!

The grading for the assignment will be roughly as follows:
Task Points
Problem 1
pass given sample test case 10
pass small grading test case 5
pass large grading test case 5
print function 5
Problem 2
pass given sample test case 10
pass small grading test case 5
pass large grading test case 5
print function 5
TOTAL 50
Passing a test case means that the diff utility on ix-dev produces no output. Furthermore, passing the given
sample test case requires actually completing the project (not, for example, just hardcoding the given output).

1 Linear Data Types
Problem 1. Stack
Implement a stack using a linked list. Don’t use any builtin utility classes (like a list or vector). You need
to implement a linked list and use that to create your stack class.
Following the abstract data type described in the course textbook, your stack data structure must implement
the following three methods with specified runtime:
push(X): Takes a single argument X (an integer, if it matters), and puts X on the stack. O(1)
pop(): Removes the top element from the stack and returns it. O(1)
is empty(): Returns a boolean indicating whether the stack is empty. O(1)
Write a driver program that takes a single command-line argument, which will be a filename. The input file
will contain instructions for stack operations. The first line of the input file will be an integer 0 ≤ N ≤ 104
giving the number of instructions. Following will be N lines, each containing an instruction. The possible
instructions are:
push X, where −105 ≤ X ≤ 105
is an integer: For this instruction, push X onto the stack. There is no output.
pop: Pop the top element of the stack. Print the removed element. If the stack is empty, output StackError.
print: Print the contents of the stack separated by a single space, starting with the top (the element which
would be removed with a pop). If the stack is empty, output Empty.
The print action should not be implementation dependent. Instead, you should write a print stack function that takes a stack as an argument and accomplishes the print action using only the above three stack
methods. You can, of course, also use builtin features of your language (e.g., a copy feature).
All output should be to STDOUT. Each piece of output should be separated by a newline.
Example input file:
7
print
push 1
push 2
print
pop
pop
pop
Example output:
Empty
2 1

1
StackError

Problem 2. Queue
Implement a queue using a linked list. Don’t use any builtin utility classes (like a list or vector). You need
to implement a linked list and use that to create your queue class.
Following the abstract data type described in the course textbook, your queue data structure must implement the following three methods with specified runtime:
enqueue(X): Takes a single argument X (an integer, if it matters), and puts X on the queue. O(1)
dequeue(): Removes the front element from the queue and returns it. O(1)
is empty(): Returns a boolean indicating whether the queue is empty. O(1)
Write a driver program that takes a single command-line argument, which will be a filename. The input file
will contain instructions for queue operations. The first line of the input file will be an integer 0 ≤ N ≤ 104
giving the number of instructions. Following will be N lines, each containing an instruction. The possible
instructions are:
enqueue X, where −105 ≤ X ≤ 105
is an integer: For this instruction, put X on the queue. There is no
output.
dequeue: Remove the front element of the queue. Print the removed element. If the queue is empty, output
QueueError.
print: Print the contents of the queue separated by a single space, starting with the front (the element
which would be removed with a dequeue). If the queue is empty, output Empty.
The print action should not be implementation dependent. Instead, you should write a print queue function that takes a queue as an argument and accomplishes the print action using only the above three queue
methods. You can, of course, also use builtin features of your language (e.g., a copy feature).
All output should be to STDOUT. Each piece of output should be separated by a newline.

enqueue 1
enqueue 2

Example output:
