Final Exam Review Spring2006
Below are questions like those we plan to ask on the Final Exam (Friday the 5th at 2:50 pm). The exam will consist of 5-8 questions like these.
Please do try these questions! Post your answers, questions, comments, concerns, and criticisms on the pages for each question. Those comments, questions, etc. can also be about each others' answers! If someone posts an answer that you don't understand, ask about it! If you see a question here that you know the answer to, don't keep it to yourself – help your fellow students!
We will be reading your answers. Here are the ground rules for the interaction.
- If you don't post, neither will we. We will not be posting official solutions to these problems at all! If one of you gets it right, terrific!
- We will try to always point out if an answer is wrong. We won't always point out when the answer is right.
- We are glad to work with you toward the right answer. We will give hints, and I'm glad to respond to partial guesses.
Reverse the sort
Below is the sort from EventQueue.java
public void sort(){
// Perform an insertion sort
// For comparing to elements at smaller indices
SimEvent considered = null;
SimEvent compareEvent = null; // Just for use in loop
// Smaller index we're comparing to
int compare;
// Start out assuming that position 0 is "sorted"
// When position==1, compare elements at indices 0 and 1
// When position==2, compare at indices 0, 1, and 2, etc.
for (int position=1; position < elements.size(); position++){
considered = (SimEvent) elements.get(position);
// Now, we look at "considered" versus the elements
// less than "compare"
compare = position;
// While the considered event is greater than the compared event ,
// it's in the wrong place, so move the elements up one.
compareEvent = (SimEvent) elements.get(compare-1);
while (compareEvent.getTime() >
considered.getTime()) {
elements.set(compare,elements.get(compare-1));
compare = compare-1;
// If we get to the end of the array, stop
if (compare <= 0) {break;}
// else get ready for the next time through the loop
else {compareEvent = (SimEvent) elements.get(compare-1);}
}
// Wherever we stopped, this is where "considered" belongs
elements.set(compare,considered);
} // for all positions 1 to the end
} // end of sort()
How would you change it so that event with the LARGEST time was at the FRONT of the queue?

Reverse the insert
Below is the insertion method from EventQueue.java
/**
* Put thisEvent into elements, assuming
* that it's already in order.
**/
public void insertInOrder(SimEvent thisEvent){
SimEvent comparison = null;
// Have we inserted yet?
boolean inserted = false;
for (int i=0; i < elements.size(); i++){
comparison = (SimEvent) elements.get(i);
// Assume elements from 0..i are less than thisEvent
// If the element time is GREATER, insert here and
// shift the rest down
if (thisEvent.getTime() < comparison.getTime()) {
//Insert it here
inserted = true;
elements.add(i,thisEvent);
break; // We can stop the search loop
}
} // end for
// Did we get through the list without finding something
// greater? Must be greater than any currently there!
if (!inserted) {
// Insert it at the end
elements.addLast(thisEvent);}
}

Understand the tree
Below is a (slightly modified) copy of the code that sets up the WolfAttackMovie.
/**
* Set up all the pieces of the tree.
**/
public void setUp(){
FileChooser.setMediaPath("D:/cs1316/mediasources/");
Picture wolf = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("dog-blue.jpg"));
Picture house = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("house-blue.jpg"));
Picture tree = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("tree-blue.jpg"));
Picture monster = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("monster-face3.jpg"));

HBranch trees = new HBranch(50); // Spaced out 50 pixels between
BlueScreenNode treenode;
for (int i=0; i < 3; i++) // insert 3 trees
{treenode = new BlueScreenNode(tree.scale(0.5));
trees.addChild(treenode);}
forest.addChild(trees);
// Make the cluster of attacking "wolves"
wolfentry = new MoveBranch(10,50); // starting position
VBranch wolves = new VBranch(20); // space out by 20 pixels between
BlueScreenNode wolf1 = new BlueScreenNode(wolf.scale(0.5));
BlueScreenNode wolf2 = new BlueScreenNode(wolf.scale(0.5));
BlueScreenNode wolf3 = new BlueScreenNode(wolf.scale(0.5));

hero.addChild(heronode);
//Assemble the base scene
sceneRoot = new Branch();

Recall that children get added with the method addChild from Branch:
/**
* Method to add nodes to children
**/
public void addChild(DrawableNode child){
if (children != null)
{children.add(child);}
else
{children = child;}
}
A. Below is a (slightly modified) copy of the tree that we showed in lecture for what got generated by this code. But now you know better-this isn't exactly how it works. This depiction of the tree doesn't make clear the difference between the children links and the next links.
Draw in whatever additional links you need, and X out the ones you don't, and label all children and next links. (You can just write a "C" or "N" near the arrow to represent children and next.) Make sure that you get the order right based on the code above.
B. This tree doesn't include the wolfretreat or hero branches. Draw those below or on the next page, with nodes represented like above and with links identified clearly as children or next.

Be a Data Structure Consultant
Now that you’re a data structures expert, people may want to hire you as a consultant to advise them on what data structure to use when. Suggest a structure for each of the situations described below. Recall that data structures that we discussed this semester include arrays, matrices, linked lists, circular linked lists, trees, graphs, stacks, queues, and event queues.
(a) “I’ve got a set of data that I need to store and access: Just a long list of objects. The size of the data will never change, and I need super-fast access to each and every element. What data structure should I use?”
(b) “I’m trying to represent the hierarchical relationship between employees in a company. People are being hired or leaving all the time. What’s a good way of representing that?”
(c) “I’m creating a simulation of a cafeteria. There are lines for sandwiches, for hot food, and for drinks. What’s the best data structure to represent the people standing in line?”
(d) “I’m going to represent the sidewalks around Georgia Tech. They go every which way, and they connect all over the place. What kind of data structure do you use to represent things like that?”
(e) "I'm making a video game that will run on wrist watches-small screen, low resolution. To 'animate' my characters, I'm just going to use real simple animation: I'll have images for four different positions of the character that I'll loop through. What's a good data structure for storing these images?"

What’s the Diff?
Each of the pairs below describes two things that are similar. Tell me what’s similar about them, and then, what the critical difference is it between them. For example, if I gave you int and double, you’d tell me that they are two types, each representing numbers, but int is only for integers and double can have decimal places.
(a) Discrete Event Simulations vs. Continuous Simulations
(b) Stacks vs. Queues
(c) Trees vs. Lists
(d) BorderLayout vs. FlowLayout
(e) Linked List vs. Array

Make a Super Truck
Below is the code for the Truck class from our FactorySimulation. Let’s imagine that our company has just bought a whole new fleet of super trucks that can carry 50% as much (20-30 items per load) and takes 1/3 less time to travel (average of two days per trip).

Explain It in Your Words
A. What's the difference between discrete event and continuous simulations? When would you use each? For each, give an example of a kind of question that you could ask with one but not with the other.
B. Why did we use trees to create animations?
C. Why do we consider it "hard" to insert and delete into the middle of an array? Is it easier or harder with a matrix?

Interpret the UML
Below is the UML class diagram for the Factory discrete event simulation.
A. By what name does a Resource know its queue of agents waiting for the resource?
B. When an instance of Distributor wants to get the object representing the factory, what expression does it evaluate? (Yes, it all is here in the diagram.)
C. If a Truck wanted to check the position of all trucks and distributors, how would it get at all of those objects? What expression would it evaluate?
D. By what name does FactorySimulation access an instance of FrameSequence?

Explaining the Insert
Here is the (slightly modified) code that we used for inserting events into the event queue so that they were always sorted.
/**
* Put thisEvent into elements, assuming
* that it's already in order.
**/
public void insertInOrder(SimEvent thisEvent){
SimEvent comparison = null;
// Have we inserted yet?
boolean inserted = false;
for (int i=0; i < elements.size(); i++){
comparison = (SimEvent) elements.get(i);
// Assume elements from 0..i are less than thisEvent
// If the element time is GREATER, insert here and
// shift the rest down
if (thisEvent.getTime() < comparison.getTime()) {
//Insert it here
inserted = true;
//POSITION A
elements.add(i,thisEvent);
break; // We can stop the search loop
}
} // end for
// Did we get through the list without finding something
// greater? Must be greater than any currently there!
if (!inserted) {
// Insert it at the end
// POSITION B
elements.addLast(thisEvent);}
}
A. The block in which POSITION A is indicated inserts the new event thisEvent, but so does the block in which POSITION B is indicated. Under what condition does the add next to POSITION A get executed? Under what condition does the addLast next to POSITION B get executed?
B. Does it ever happen that both POSITION A's add and POSITION B's addLast get executed? If so, under what condition? If not, why not-what would prevent both add's from being executed?

Your Distributors have realized that sometimes their customers have a rush need for product. If the Distributors could satisfy the Customers immediately, the Customers will be much happier. So now, your Distributors want to grab an extra FIVE (5) products each time that they leave the factory, beyond the number ordered already. The Distributors will sell those five products while on the road, in the Market.
REMOVEDge the code above to create this new kind of distributor. Don't change newOrders()! The number being ordered and its probability distribution doesn't change. However, do wait for 5 more product and consumer 5 more product. Scratch out whatever lines you need to and write in new code on the class above.
