Operations on data Add data to a data collection Remove data from a data collection Ask questions about the data in a data collection

ADTs vs. Data Structures An abstract data type -- a collection of data and a set of operations on that data. A data structure -- a construct within a programming language that stores a collection of data.

ADT List Operations Create an empty list. Determine whether a list is empty. Determine the number of items on a list. Add an item at a given position in the list. Remove the item at a given position in the list. Remove all the items from the list. Retrieve (get) the item at a given position in the list.

ADT List Operations-Pseudocode createList() isEmpty() size() add(index, item) remove(index) removeAll() get(index)

ADT List Operations-Pseudocode To get a list of the following items: milk, eggs, butter, apples, bread, chicken First, declare aList as an object of List Then, aList.createList() aList.add(0, milk) aList.add(1, eggs) aList.add(2, butter) aList.add(3, apple) aList.add(4, bread) aList.add(5, chicken)

ADT List Operations-Pseudocode After the following statement aList.add(3, nuts) The list will be milk, eggs, butter, nuts, apples, bread, chicken If the following operation is performed aList.remove(4) milk, eggs, butter, nuts, bread, chicken

Access and Manipulation of ADT’s Data Once the behavior (basic operations) of an ADT is designed, access and manipulation of the ADT’s data can be defined based on its operations. displayList - displays all the items on the list aList. replace - replaces the ith item on the list aList with newItem.

Access and Manipulation of ADT’s Data - displayList displayList(aList) for (index = 0 through aList.size() - 1) { dataItem = aList.get(index) Display dataItem }

Access and Manipulation of ADT’s Data - replace replace(aList, i, newItem) if (i >= 0 and i < aList.size()) { aList.remove(i) aList.add(i, newItem) }

ADT for appointment book Make an appointment for a certain date, time, and purpose. Cancel the appointment for a certain date and time. Check whether you have an appointment at a given time and date. Determine the purpose of the appointment at a given time and date.

ADT appointment -Pseudocode createAppointmentBook() isAppointment(date, time) makeAppointment(date, time, purpose) cancelAppointment(date, time) checkAppointment(date, time) More operations based on the operations above, e.g. change the date or time of a particular appointment within the existing appointment book. What needs to be done to achieve that?

ADT appointment -Pseudocode Get the purpose of the old appointment Check if the new date and time is available to appointment If yes, make the appointment at new date and time. If no, remind the user of the existing appointment and the failure to make the new appointment.
