 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Using Arrays in Abstract Data Types

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. What is an Abstract Data Type A built-in data type is an int, float, double, etc. An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is a collection of data and a set of operations on the data. You can use an ADT’s operations, if you know their specifications, without knowing how the operations are implemented or how the data is stored. Ultimately, you will implement an ADT with a data-structure, which is a construct you can define within a programming language to store a collection of data. Examples of ADT: lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, etc.

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. ADT: SIMPLE LIST Examples of lists: lists of student id’s in a class, grocery items, lists of records in a collection, list of club members, etc…. Create a list Insert an element Arrange elements in sorted order Find if an element is in the list Delete an element Print the list of elements WHAT ARE BASIC OPERATIONS ON A LIST?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. What operations are likely to be performed on lists? Create/Insert an element Delete an element Arrange elements in sorted order (whatever sort criteria) Print the list of elements Find if an element is in the list Print statistics about list (if numeric) Grocery items: Chips Salsa Coke Tissues Sprite Jelly beans Original list Grocery items: Chips Salsa Coke Tissues Sprite Jelly beans Beer Add Beer Grocery items: Chips Salsa Coke Sprite Jelly beans Beer Delete tissues Grocery items: Beer Chips Coke Jelly beans Salsa Sprite Sort alphabetically Grocery items: Beer Coke Sprite Jelly beans Chips Salsa Sort by grocery aisles Is beer on the list?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Implementation of the ADT List One way to implement a “list” is using an array to hold the elements in the list….. Now have to figure out how to : insert, delete, sort, find, etc…. In the next lessons, we will slowly build up these functionalities until we can integrate them all into a “list” program. EVENTUAL GOAL : CREATE A PROGRAM TO MAINTAIN A LIST OF STUDENTS……….

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Let’s make a simpler list Instead of strings, we will have a list of letters const int MAXCHARS = 8; char alpharray[MAXCHARS]; B J K M S Z

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Print Elements in a list for (i=0; i<numofelements; i++) cout << alpharray[i] << endl; Input elements into the list: // numtoinsert should be set to the number of initial elements to insert for (i=0; i<numtoinsert; i++) cin >> alpharray[i];

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Insert an element into an array Simple insert routine: find end of array, insert element: alpharray[endofarray] = newelement; endofarray++; B J K M S ZB J K M S Z L Before: After inserting L

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Insert a letter in the list Should it be inserted at the end of the list (in this case we need to know what is the end of the list)? Should the new element be inserted into the beginning of the list? Is the list stored in some special order and elements should be inserted to maintain that order – e.g., if the list is stored in alphabetical order the new element must be inserted in alphabetical order? Should the user choose where to store the new element?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Assume the following letters are stored in array named alpharray: B, J, K, M, S, and Z. Write a program which calls a function adlet(), which accepts both the alphabet array and a new letter as parameters and inserts the new letter in the correct alphabetical order in the alphabet array. B J K M S Z alphabet [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] …... B J K L M S Z After adding ‘L’ Before: INSERTING INTO A ARRAY BASED Alphabetical LIST

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. ALGORITHM: Prompt user for new letter to add Find the position (index) of where this letter should go in the alphabetical array. (This is called a linear search.) Move all letters after this position down to free up the space Insert letter into array ****

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Analysis of the simple insertion algorithm In the worst case --- How many comparisons are needed to find the position of the letter to be inserted? In the worst case --- How many letters have to be shifted to make room for a new letter to be inserted? Are these the same cases?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. void insertletter(char alpharray[], char addlet, int& sizeofarr) { int i=0, endpos,newpos; //find position for new letter while (alpharray[i] < addlet && i < sizeofarr) i++; newpos =i; //move chars over --- should check for full array first for (i=sizeofarr; i>newpos; i--) alpharray[i] = alpharray[i-1]; alpharray[newpos] = addlet; //insert new letter sizeofarr++; //print out array for(i=0; i<sizeofarr; i++) cout <<alpharray[i]; What happens if the array is full? Can we use this code to insert elements into an empty list? If (sizeofarr == 0) { alpharray[0] = addlet; sizeofarr++; return 0; }

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Delete an element from a list Must find the element to delete: Then move everything over

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Delete Let’s assume we are given the position of the item to delete in delpos; DeleteElement(char alpharray[], int delpos, int& sizeofarr) { for (i=delpos+1; i<sizeofarr; i++) alpharray[i-1] = alpharray[i]; sizeofarr--; }

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. ADT: List Operation: sort. Given a list of unordered values in an array, sort the values so that they can be printed in sorted order.

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. SIMPLE Sorting Sorting is a typical operation to put the elements in an array in order. Internal Sorts [for small data sets] selection bubble (exchange) External Sorts [for large data sets]

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. Simple Sorting Selection sort Find smallest element, and put at the head of the list, repeat with remainder of list. The algorithm can also be formulated by finding the largest element and putting that at the head of the list

How many times is the “sm_index” being reset? How many times is the swap() function called?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Sorting Arrays Sorting data –Important computing application –Virtually every organization must sort some data Massive amounts must be sorted Bubble sort (sinking sort) –Several passes through the array –Successive pairs of elements are compared If increasing order (or identical), no change If decreasing order, elements exchanged –Repeat these steps for every element

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 32 Simple Sorting Bubble sort As we scan the list swap elements out of order. After the first scan, the largest element will be at the end of the list. Keep scanning the list until all of the elements are in the correct place. Bubble sort – because the small elements bubble up to the top…..

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Sorting Arrays Example: –Go left to right, and exchange elements as necessary One pass for each element –Original: –Pass 1: (elements exchanged) –Pass 2: –Pass 3: (no changes needed) –Pass 4: –Pass 5: –Small elements "bubble" to the top (like 2 in this example)

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 44 Can we improve the algorithm? In the first example, we did not have to keep scanning the list since the list was sorted after the “2 nd ” scan…… Check to see if any swaps were performed on the previous inner loop. If none were performed do not scan the list anymore since it is sorted WE CAN END THE ALGORITHM EARLY: EARLY TERMINATION how can we accomplish this?

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved Searching Arrays: Linear Search and Search array for a key value Linear search –Key value is the value to be searched for. It is usually inputted by the user. –Compare each element of array with key value Start at one end, go to other If the element is found, return the index number of the array. Remember --- we do not usually need to return the value, we know the value since it is what we were searching for. We need to know the POSITION of the value, i.e., its index.

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 55 Analysis IF an element is not in the array, all of the elements in the array have to be checked to determine that a particular element is not there. FOR EXAMPLE: if there are 10 elements in the array, 10 comparisons have to be made in the worst case. Therefore, if there are n elements in the array... n comparisons have to be made in the worst case

 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 56 What if the array were already sorted? Search for an element in a sorted array Do we have to check all of the elements if we know something about the order of the array? No -- we can search until we know the element cannot appear anymore, i.e. array[j] > target. However in the worst case the # of comparisons is still the number of elements in the array, I.e. we have to check all of the elements in the array
