4 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Represent problem-domain entities using a computer language When building a software in a specific domain, describe the different components of the domain as types and variables Thus we can take another step up in abstraction

5 Class as a Blueprint A class is a blueprint of objects

6 Car Example Members: 4 wheels, steering wheel, horn, color,… Every car instance has its own Methods: drive, turn left, honk, repaint,… Constructors: Car(String color), Car(Array[Wheels], Engine,…), …

7 Rational Numbers A ration number is a number that can be expressed as a ration n/d (n,d integers, d not 0) Examples: 1/2, 2/3, 112/239, 2/1 Not an approximation

8 Specification Add, subtract, multiply, divide println should work smoothly Immutable (result of an operation is a new rational number) It should feel like native language support

9 Constructing a Rational How client programmer will create a new Rational object? Class parameters

10 Constructing a Rational The Scala compiler will compile any code placed in the class body, which isn’t part of a field or a method definition, into the primary constructor ?

11 Reimplementing toString toString method A more useful implementation of toString would print out the values of the Rational’s numerator and denominator override the default implementation

12 Usage Now we can remove the debug println…

13 Checking Preconditions Ensure the data is valid when the object is constructed Use require

14 Define “add” Method Immutable Define add:

15 Add Fields n, d are in scope in the add method Access then only on the object on which add was invoked 

16 Test Add, Access Fields

17 Self Reference (this) Define method lessThan: Define method max:

18 Auxiliary Constructors Constructors other then the primary Example: a rational number with a denominator of 1 (e.g., 5/1  5) We would like to do: new Rational(5) Auxiliary constructor first action: invoke another constructor of the same class The primary constructor is thus the single point of entry of a class

19 Revised Rational

20 Private Fields and Methods 66/42 = 11/7 To normalize divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (gcd) gcd(66,42) = 6  (66/6)/(42/6) = 11/7 No need for Rational clients to be aware of this Encapsulation

21 Off Topic: Calculate gcd gcd(a,b) = g a = n * g b = m * g gcd(n,m)=1(otherwise g is not the gcd) a = t * b + r = t * m * g + r  g is a divisor of r gcd(a,b) = gcd(b,a%b) The Euclidean algorithm: repeat iteratively: if (b == 0) return a else repeat using a  b, b  a%b

22 Correctness Example: gcd(40,24)  gcd(24,16)  gcd(16,8)  gcd(8,0)  8 Prove: g = gcd(a,b) = gcd(b,a%b)= g1 g1 is a divisor of a (  g1 ≤ g ) There is no larger divisor of a (  g1 ≥ g ) ≤ : a = t * b + r  a = t * h * g1 + v * g1  g1 is a divisor of a ≥ : assume g > g1  a = t * b + r  g is a divisor of b and r  contradiction

23 Implementation

24 Revised Rational

25 Defining Operators Why not use natural arithmetic operators? Replace add by the usual mathematical symbol Operator precedence will be kept All operations are method calls

26 Revised Rational

27 Usage

28 Method Overloading Now we can add and multiply rational numbers! What about mixed arithmetic? r * 2 won’t work  r * new Rational(2) is not nice  Add new methods for mixed addition and multiplication Method overloading The compiler picks the correct overloaded method

29 Usage The * method invoked is determined in each case by the type of the right operand

30 Revised Rational

31 Implicit Conversions 2 * r  2.*(r)  method call on 2 (Int)  Int class contains no multiplication method that takes a Rational argument  Create an implicit conversion that automatically converts integers to rational numbers when needed

32 Companion Object

33 Revised Rational Define implicit conversion in Rational.scala, after defining object Rational

34 In Eclipse In Rational.scala: Companion object (object Rational) Rational class (class Rational) Place the main method in another file

35 Summary Customize classes so that they are natural to use fields, methods, primary constructor Method overriding Self reference (this) Define several constructors Encapsulation Define operators as method Method overloading Implicit conversions, companion object

38 Course Description This course will provide a gentle introduction to programming using Scala for highly motivated students with little or no prior experience in programming

39 Objective Bridge the gap for students without prior programming knowledge

40 Course Description Lectures will be interactive featuring in-class exercises with lots of support You are expected to work hard!

41 Course Plan SessionMaterial 1Basic concepts in CS and programming, basic Scala 2Basic Scala (cont.), Functions 3Recursion 4Arrays 5Sort, Complexity, Object Oriented Programming 6Summary, Lists, more OOP

42 Why Scala? Semester A: Scheme Semester B: Java Scala language has some features similar to Scheme and some to Java Scala is cool!

43 Summary General introduction to CS and programming Basic Scala Development tools: Interpreter Eclipse (+ debugger) Compiler, Interpreter

44 Compiler

45 Interpreter

46 How it works in Scala

47 Higher Order Functions

48 Recursion

49 Recursion and Efficiency The recursive form, however elegant, may be much less efficient The number of redundant calls grow exponentially! Fib(6) Fib(4)

50 Recursive Vs. Iterative Process Operation pending No pending operations

51 “Tail” Recursion in Scala Scala compiler translate tail-recursion to iterative execution Thus, the functions-stack is not growing

52 Arrays Array: sequential block of memory that holds variables of the same type Array can be declared for any type The array variable itself holds the address in memory of beginning of sequence foreach, filter, map,… s ……

53 Arrays - Example

54 Stack, Queue Stack – מחסנית Applications: Function’s stack Implementation ideas Queue – תור, First In First Out (FIFO) Applications: Scheduling, typing Implementation idea Cyclic Queue

55 Binary Search Input: A sorted array of integers A An integer query q Output: The index of q in A if q is a member of A -1 otherwise Algorithm: Check the middle element of A If it is equal to q, return its index If it is >= q, search for q in A[0,…,middle-1] If it is < q, search for q in A[middle+1,...,end]

56 Time Complexity of BS Worst case analysis Size of the inspected array: n  n/2  n/4  …..  1 Each step is very fast (a small constant number of operations) There are log 2 (n) such steps So it takes ~ log 2 (n) steps per search Much faster then ~ n

57 Bubble Sort Time Complexity Array of size n n iterations i iterations constant (n-1 + n-2 + n-3 + …. + 1) * const ~ ½ * n 2

58 Marge Sort If the array is of length 0 or 1, then it is already sorted. Otherwise: Divide the unsorted array into two sub-arrays of about half the size Sort each sub-array recursively by re-applying merge sortrecursively Merge the two sub-arrays back into one sorted arrayMerge n + 2 * (n/2) * n/ * n/2 3 + … + 2log(n) * n/2 log(n) = n + n + … + n = n * log(n) log(n)

59 Bucket Sort Linear-time sorting algorithm! But: restrictions on data – bounded integers…

60 Quick Sort Want to hear about it?

61 Scala Memory Model Passing arguments to functions, local names Objects in memory Stack, Heap, Garbage collection

62 Object-Oriented Programming Represent problem-domain entities using a computer language Abstraction Classes as blueprint / data-types Scala API (and Java’s)

63 Rational Numbers Example Customize classes so that they are natural to use fields, methods, primary constructor Method overriding Self reference (this) Define several constructors Encapsulation Define operators as method Method overloading Implicit conversions, companion object

66 Programming in Scala Chapter 16: Working with Lists Chapter 22: Implementing Lists

67 Problems with Arrays Limited in space (static): the size of an array is defined as it is created Costly to perform dynamic operations (e.g., add an element)

68 Linked Lists Built out of links, each link holds: Data Pointer to the next link (tail) Pointer to the first element (head)

69 Linked Lists (cont.) Infinite loop? (link  link  link….) Nil – the empty list The elements have the same type

70 Lists Vs. Arrays ListArray Initialization / memory EconomicalWasteful Insert element FastSlow Remove element FastSlow Direct access No direct accessDirect access Traverse Linear

71 Functionality initiate isEmpty length add element remove element append reverse

72 Lists in Scala List class have a type parameter T (similar to Arrays…) List operations are based on three basic methods: isEmpty : Boolean – true iff the list is empty head : T – first element in list tail : List[T] – a list consisting of the elements except the first

73 Initiating Lists

74 Constructing Lists All lists are build from two fundamental building blocks: Nil :: (cons)

75 Example: Insertion Sort

76 Implementation of ::

77 Implementation of: length, map

78 Concatenating Lists

79 Reverse a List def rev[T](xs : List[T]) = { if (xs.isEmpty) xs else rev(xs.tail):::List(xs.head) } Complexity?

80 Higher Order Methods map filter partition foreach And more

81 Example - map map(_+1)  map((x:Int)=>x+1)

82 Example – filter, partition

83 Example – filter, partition

84 Example – foreach

85 Example – sort

86 Other Data Structures Trees Maps

87 Example var capital = Map( "US"  "Washington", "France"  "paris", "Japan"  "tokyo" ) capital += ( "Russia"  "Moskow" ) for ( (country, city)  capital ) capital += ( country  city.capitalize ) assert ( capital("Japan") == "Tokyo" )

88 Pattern Matching in Scala Here's a a set of definitions describing binary trees: And here's an inorder traversal of binary trees: This design keeps purity: all cases are classes or objects extensibility: you can define more cases elsewhere encapsulation: only parameters of case classes are revealed abstract class Tree[T] case object Empty extends Tree case class Binary(elem: T, left: Tree[T], right: Tree[T]) extends Tree def inOrder [T] ( t: Tree[T] ): List[T] = t match { case Empty => List() case Binary(e, l, r) => inOrder(l) ::: List(e) ::: inOrder(r) } The case modifier of an object or class means you can pattern match on it
