Midterm Exam 1 Review Sp2005

Below are questions like those I plan to ask on Midterm #1 (Feb. 11). The exam will consist of 4 or 5 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!

I will be reading your answers. Here are the ground rules for the interaction.
  1. If you don't post, neither will I. I will not be posting official solutions to these problems at all! If one of you gets it right, terrific!
  2. I will try to always point out if an answer is wrong. I won't always point out when the answer is right.
  3. I am glad to work with you toward the right answer. I will give hints, and I'm glad to respond to partial guesses.



What do they do?


Below are three methods from the class Picture. Assume that we run each of these with:
> Picture p = new Picture("D:/cs1316/MediaSources/Swan.jpg"); 
> p.methodA(); p.show(); // Then methodB and methodC 


What will each of these do to the picture?

  public void methodA(){
    Pixel p;
    for (int x=0; x < this.getWidth(); x++)
    {for (int y = 0; y < this.getHeight(); y++)
      {
      p=this.getPixel(x,y);
      p.setRed(255-p.getRed());
      p.setGreen(255-p.getGreen());
      p.setBlue(255-p.getBlue());
    }}}
  
    public void methodB(){
    Pixel p;
    for (int x=(int) (this.getWidth()/2); x < this.getWidth(); x++)
    {for (int y = 0; y < this.getHeight(); y++)
      {
      p=this.getPixel(x,y);
      p.setRed(255-p.getRed());
      p.setGreen(255-p.getGreen());
      p.setBlue(255-p.getBlue());
    }}}

    public void methodC(){
    Pixel p;
    for (int x=0; x < this.getWidth(); x++)
    {for (int y = 0; y < this.getHeight()/2; y++)
      {
      p=this.getPixel(x,y);
      p.setRed(255-p.getRed());
      p.setGreen(255-p.getGreen());
      p.setBlue(255-p.getBlue());
    }}}

Flip, the other way.


Below is the method of class Picture for flipping an image left to right. Write the other method, the one that goes right to left.

  /**
   * Method to flip an image left-to-right
   **/
  public Picture flip() {
    
    Pixel currPixel;
    Picture target = new Picture(this.getWidth(),this.getHeight());
    
    for (int srcx = 0, trgx = getWidth()-1; srcx < getWidth(); srcx++, trgx--)
    {
      for (int srcy = 0, trgy = 0; srcy < getHeight(); srcy++, trgy++)
      {
        // get the current pixel 
        currPixel = this.getPixel(srcx,srcy);
        
        /* copy the color of currPixel into target
         */
        target.getPixel(trgx,trgy).setColor(currPixel.getColor());
      }
    };
    return target;
  }

Posterize


Below is an example posterize() method. Create a newPosterize method that sets:


  /**
   * Method to posterize (reduce the number of colors) in the picture
   * The number of reds, greens, and blues will be 4
   */
  public void posterize()
  {
    Pixel pixel = null;
    int redValue = 0;
    int greenValue = 0;
    int blueValue = 0;
    
    // loop through the pixels
    for (int x = 0; x < this.getWidth(); x++) {
      for (int y = 0; y < this.getHeight(); y++) {
        
        // get the current pixel and colors
        pixel = this.getPixel(x,y);
        redValue = pixel.getRed();
        greenValue = pixel.getGreen();
        blueValue = pixel.getBlue();
        
        // check for red range and change color
        if (redValue < 64)
          redValue = 31;
        else if (redValue < 128)
          redValue = 95;
        else if (redValue < 192)
          redValue = 159;
        else 
          redValue = 223;
        
        // check for green range
        if (greenValue < 64)
          greenValue = 31;
        else if (greenValue < 128)
          greenValue = 95;
        else if (greenValue < 192)
          greenValue = 159;
        else
          greenValue = 223;
        
        // check for blue range
        if (blueValue < 64)
          blueValue = 31;
        else if (blueValue < 128)
          blueValue = 95;
        else if (blueValue < 192)
          blueValue = 159;
        else
          blueValue = 223;
        
        // set the colors
        pixel.setRed(redValue);
        pixel.setGreen(greenValue);
        pixel.setBlue(blueValue);
      }
    }
  }

Turtle Initial


Below is the example turtle drawing from class. Create a TurtleInitial method with a main() method that draws the first initial of your family (last) name.

public class MyTurtlePicture {
  
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    
    FileChooser.setMediaPath("D:/cs1316/MediaSources/");
    Picture canvas = new Picture(600,600);
    Turtle jenny = new Turtle(canvas);
    Picture lilTurtle = new Picture(FileChooser.getMediaPath("Turtle.jpg"));
    
    for (int i=0; i <=40; i++)
    {
      if (i < 20)
      {jenny.turn(20);}
      else
      {jenny.turn(-20);}
      jenny.forward(40);
      jenny.drop(lilTurtle.scale(0.5));
    }
    
    canvas.show();
  }
  
}
