Description
1) Counting components.
A binary digital image is represented through a matrix of integers, each element of which is either 1 (white) or 0 (black) (40 points). Example of an image (6 rows, 11 columns) (left) and the corresponding binary image (right):
00000000000
00100010000
01111001010
01101000011
00011000110
00000000000
Input
You are to write a program that admits as a commandline argument the path to a ASCII text file containing a binary digital image represented through a matrix of space separated integers such as the one above.
Output
Your program will calculate the number of “white components” and print that number on screen.
Explanation
A white component is a set of white matrix locations, such that, between any two of them, there is a path of white matrix locations, where every consecutive pair are adjacent (through their top, left, right or bottom neighbor). Hence the above example contains four components, shown here with letters A, B, C and D:
00000000000
00A000B0000
0AAAA00C0D0
0AA0A0000DD
000AA000DD0
00000000000
Assume location (0,0) corresponds to the top left element.
B contains the locations (in column,row format): (6,1)
C contains the locations (in column,row format): (7,2)
D contains the locations (in column,row format): (9,2)(9,3)(9,4)(10,3)(8,4)
etc
e.g. locations (10,3) and (8,4) (in pink) belong to the same white component since there is a path (i.e. a sequence) of white locations starting from (10,3) and ending at (8,4): (10,3),(9,3),(9,4),(8,4) such that every consecutive location pair z=(x1,y1) and w=(x2,y2) are neighbors (i.e. z is either on top, bottom, left or right of w; e.g.(8,4) is at the left of (9,4)).
You need to visit every matrix element at least once in order to accomplish this goal. So your complexity will be at least O(n) where n is the number of matrix elements. Solutions with lower complexities will be rewarded.
Rules
-
Don’t use recursive functions.
-
Your program will be tested with an arbitrary matrix
-
Don’t use any Java class implementing the Collection interface; (implement your own data structures).
-
Hint 1: you can represent your matrix as a 2 dimensional array of integers.
-
Hint 2: you might want to use a stack in your algorithm for white component counting.
2) A calculator
Write a program that evaluates an infix expression (40 points) . You already know that you must first convert it to postfix and then evaluate the postfix expression with a stack based algorithm.
The trick is that the infix expression can contain:
-
variables
-
functions (only sin, cos, abs)
-
parenthesis
Input
The input will be provided through the commandline as a path to file containing a single infix expression (an example is provided at the moodle page: infix_test_file_1.txt). The expression’s tokens will be space separated.
Output
The infix expression’s value.
Rules
-
Don’t use any Java classes implementing Java’s Collection interface; (implement your own data structures).
-
Do not call any method from the Math class of java, implement your own sin, cos, abs methods.
