Programming Assignment 05 So

Purpose:




* Demonstrate (elementary) understanding of imperative and

lambda programming in Java.




----------------------------------------------------------------------

Background:

* The sum of cubes function takes one argument, n, and returns

the value of n cubed plus the value of the sum of cubes

function of n-1. The value of the sum of cubes function

of n == 0 is 0.

 

* The pseudo-Pell function takes one argument, n, and returns

the value of three times the value of pseudo-Pell function

of n-1 plus two times the value of the pseudo-Pell function

of n-2. The value of the pseudo-Pell function of n == 1 is 1.

The value of the pseudo-Pell function of n == 0 is 0.

 

* The GCD function takes two arguments, m and n. If n == 0,

GCD returns m. Otherwise, GCD returns the value of the GCD

function of n and m mod n.




* The sumOfCubes() function should be called for n = 0 up to

and including 15.




* The pseudoPell() function should be called for n = 0 up to and

including 15.




* The GCD() function should be called for m = 1 up to and

including 10 and n = 1 up to and including 10. The m loop

should be outermost and the n loop innermost.




* The arguments and results of each call should be printed in

messages matching those shown in outputdata.txt.




----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tasks:




1. Download HMWK_05_dalioba.zip from Blackboard.




2. Unzip the file somewhere convenient.




3. Change 'dalioba' in the name of the directory to your NetID.

(Your NetID is three letters followed by four or five digits.

The directory name will now be something like

'hmwk_05_abc1234', with YOUR NetID instead of 'abc1234'.)




4. Look in that directory.




5. Change the header lines in the template files

hmwk_05_imperative.java and hmwk_05_lambda.java.




-- Line 1: Family name first, then a comma, then

personal name.




-- Line 2: Your NetID.




-- Line 3: The date you edited the file.




6. In hmwk_05_imperative.java write the three RECURSIVE Java

functions sumOfCubes, pseudoPell, and GCD. (The spots to put

the functions are marked with comments.) Write loops to call

these routines the appropriate number of times from the

main() function.




7. Compile and run the hmwk_05_imperative.java file. Your

output should match that given in the outputdata.txt file.




8. Now, in the hmwk_05_lambda.java file, write three LAMBDAs

that accomplish the same functions as sumOfCubes, pseudoPell,

and GCD. (The spots to put the lambdas are marked with

comments.) Write loops to call these routine the appropriate

number of times from the main() function.




9. Compile and run the hmwk_05_lambda.java file. Your

output should once again match that given in the

outputdata.txt file.




----------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission:




Make a zipfile of your 'hmwk_05_abc1234' directory (where

'abc1234' is replaced with YOUR NetID) and submit it on Blackboard

as your results for this assignment. Your submission should be a

zipfile that has exactly one item in it, a directory named

'hmwk_05_abc1234' (where 'abc1234' is YOUR NetID). Inside that

directory should be your two source files, hmwk_05_imperative.java

and hmwk_05_lambda.java.




----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hints:

1. Your functions in hmwk_05_imperative.java must be RECURSIVE!

Do not write the functions using iteration. Iterative

solutions will score ZERO points.




2. Your lambdas in hmwk_05_lambda.java must NOT use code

blocks. Code blocks are for more complex lambdas. Code

block solutions will score ZERO points.




3. As a reminder, in Java one can use System.out.format() to

print to the console.




4. These programs are not complex. Each of the three functions

in hmwk_05_imperative.java is THREE lines of code. The

lambdas in hmwk_05_lambda.java are THREE or FOUR lines

of code each.




Therefore, the total amount you have to write is about 20

lines of code.




5. Ensure your output messages match the contents of

'outputdata.txt'. The output is going to be checked by a

program, so it has to match EXACTLY.




6. Ensure your programs compile and run correctly. Not

compiling or not generating the correct output will cost you

points.




After you write your programs, use diff or fc to compare

your output to the supplied 'outputdata.txt'. It must match

EXACTLY or you will be penalized points.




('EXACTLY' means character-by-character the same. No, e.g.,

differences in spacing, no changes in wording, no changes

in punctuation, no changes in capitalization, and so forth.

Check your output against the 'outputdata.txt' file!)




7. Ensure that you update the three header lines in each of the

source files with YOUR name (family name first, then a comma,

then your personal name), YOUR NetID, and the date you edit

the file.




Not updating the header lines properly will cost you points.




8. Ensure your submission to Blackboard is packaged EXACTLY as

described above.




-- Your submission should be a ZIP FILE (not a tar, rar, gz,

or any other kind of compressed file).




-- The zip file should be named 'hmwk_05_abc1234.zip' (with

'abc1234' replaced with YOUR NetID).




-- This zip file should have ONE item in it, a directory

named 'hmwk_05_abc1234' (with 'abc1234' replaced with

YOUR NetID).




-- Your source files should be in that directory. The

source files should be named hmwk_05_imperative.java

and hmwk_05_lambda.java.




Submissions in the wrong format score ZERO points.




9. After you submit your zip file on Blackboard, download it

from Blackboard and check that your submission is in the

proper format, that the programs run and print the correct

output, and that you updated the header lines correctly in

each of the source files.




10. Are you CERTAIN you complied with all of these nit-picking

instructions? Really? Maybe you ought to check just one

more time. :)
