This homework should be done in Full Java (using DrJava, IntelliJ, Eclipse, or a text editor and command line compilation and execution). The Functional Java language in DrJava regrettably no longer works for more complex OO code such as the visitor pattern. In this assignment, you will re-implement each of the functions on IntLists assigned in Homework 7 using the visitor pattern.
As before, your program must support the object-oriented formulation of lists of integers defined the composite class hierarchy where
IntList
is an abstract list of int
.EmptyIntList
is an IntList
ConsIntList(first, rest)
, where first
is an int
and rest
is an IntList
, is an IntList
The Homework Support files IntList.java,
IntListVisitor.java
, LengthVisitor
, ScalarProductVisitor
, and IntListTest.java
provide a starting point for your code. Feel free to edit these files and omit files that are not needed in this homework assignment.
Apply the visitor design pattern to define visitor classes implementing the IntListVistor
interface IntList
and its subclasses given above to formulate all of the following methods as visitorsJUnit test class, IntListTest
to test all of your new methods in the IntList
class. Use the LengthVisitor example as a guide for defining your new visitor classes. Augment the test clas IntListTest.java
to include test methods for each of your visitor classes. Confine your documentation to writing contracts (purpose statements in HTDP terminology) for each visitor using javadoc
notation (a comment preceding the corresponding definition) beginning with /**
and closing with */
for each visitor class. Use the documentation of LengthVisitor
in the Homework Support files as an example.
boolean contains(int key)
returns true
if key
is in the list, false
otherwise. Name you visitor class ContainsVisitor
.)int reverse()
constructs a list that is the reversal of this. Name your visitor class ReverseVisitor
. Hint: this computation is faster and simpler if you introduce a help "method" that takes an argument (also a visitor).int sum()
computes the sum of the elements in the list. Name your visitor class SumVisitor.double average()
computes the average of the elements in the list; returns 0
if the list is empty. Name your visitor class AverageVisitor
. Hint: you can cast an int
to double
by using the prefix casting operator (double)
. IntList notGreaterThan(int bound)
returns a list of elements in this list that are less than or equal to bound
. Name your visitor class NotGreaterThanVisitor
.IntList remove(int key)
returns a list of all elements in this list that are not equal to key
. Name your visitor class RemoveVisitorIntList subst(int oldN, int newN)
returns a list of all elements in this list with oldN
replaced by newN
. Name your visitor class SubstVisitorIntList merge(IntList other)
merges this list with the input list other, assuming that this list and other are sorted in ascending order. Note that the lists need not have the same length. Name your visitor class MergeVisitor
. Hint: add a "method" mergeHelp(ConsIntList other)
that does all of the work if one list is non-empty (a ConsIntList
). Only mergeHelp
is recursive. Use dynamic dispatch on the list that may be empty. Recall that a.merge(b)
is equivalent to b.merge(a)
. You can formulate help methods as visitors.IntList mergeSort()
. Leveraging the merge
"method" you just wrote (as a visitor), write mergeSort()
that sorts an IntList.
Recall that you need to write a help function that splits a list approximately in two.
