CSC3100 Data Structures

A. Requirements Code (90%)
You can write your code in Java, Python, C, or C++. The time limit may vary among different languages, depending on the performance of the language. Your code must be a complete excutable program instead of only a function. We guarantee test data strictly compliance with the requirements in the description, and you do not need to deal with cases where the input data is invalid.
Libraries in this assignment:
• For C/C++, you can only include standard library.
• For Java, you can only import java.util.*
• For Python, you can only import standard library. In other words, you cannot import libraries such as numpy.
We provide an example problem to illustrate the information above better.
Report (10%)
You also need to write a report in pdf type to explain the following: • What are the possible solutions for the problem?
• How do you solve this problem?
• Why is your solution better than others?
Please note that the maximum number of pages allowed for your report is 5 pages.
Remember that the report is to illustrate your thinking process. Keep in mind that your report is supposed to show your ideas and thinking process. We expect clear and precise textual descriptions in your report, and we do not recommend that you over-format your report.
B. Example Problem: A + B Problem Description
Given 2 integers A and B, compute and print A + B
Input

Output
One integer: A + B

}
C. Submission
After finishing this assignment, you are required to submit your code to the Online Judge System (OJ), and upload your .zip package of your code files and report to BlackBoard.
C.1 Online Judge
Once you have completed one problem, you can submit your code on the page on the Online Judge platform (oj.cuhk.edu.cn, campus only) to gain marks for the code part. You can submit your solution of one problem for no more than 80 times.
After you have submitted your program, OJ will test your program on all test cases and give you a grade. The grade of your latest submission will be regarded as the final grade of the corresponding problem. Each problem is tested on multiple test cases of different difficulty. You will get a part of the score even if your algorithm is not the best.

Note: The program running time may vary on different machines. Please refer to the result of the online judge system. OJ will show the time and memory limits for different languages on the corresponding problem page.
If you have other questions about the online judge system, please refer to OJ wiki (campus network only). If this cannot help you, feel free to contact us.
C.2 BlackBoard
You are required to upload your source codes and report to the BlackBoard platform. You need to name your files according to the following rules and compress them into A1_<Student ID>.zip :
A1_<Student ID>.zip
|-- A1_P1_<Student ID>.java/py/c/cpp |-- A1_P2_<Student ID>.java/py/c/cpp |-- A1_Report_<Student ID>.pdf
For Java users, you don’t need to consider the consistency of class name and file name. For example, suppose your ID is 123456789, and your problem 1 is written in Python, problem 2 is
written in Java then the following contents should be included in your submitted A1_123456789.zip:
A1_123456789.zip
|-- A1_P1_123456789.py
|-- A1_P2_123456789.java |-- A1_Report_123456789.pdf
C.3 Late Submissions
Submissions after Nov 24 2023 23:59:00(UTC+8) would be considered as LATE.
The LATE submission page will open after deadline on OJ.
Submisson time = max{latest submisson time for every problem, BlackBoard submisson time} There will be penalties for late submission:
• 0–24 hours after deadline: final score = your score×0.8 • 24–72 hours after deadline: final score = your score×0.5 • 72+ hours after deadline: final score = your score×0

1 Node Distance(40% of this assignment) 1.1 Description
You are given a tree with n nodes, where each edge in the tree has a corresponding weight denoting the length of each edge. The nodes in the tree are colored either black or white. Your task is to calculate the sum of distances between every pair of black nodes in the tree. Let B = {b1, b2, ...} a set of black nodes, then the answer is formulated as:
|B|−1 |B|
Ans= 􏰀 􏰀 dist(bi,bj)
i=1 j =i+1
where |B| denotes the number of the black nodes in the tree, and dist(bi,bj) is the length of the simple
path from the i-th to j-th black node.
Write a program to calculate the sum of distances on the tree between every pair of black nodes Ans
in the given tree.
1.2 Input
The first line contains an integer n, representing the number of nodes in the tree.
The second line contains n space-separated integers {c1,c2,...,ci,...,cn} where ci is either 0 or 1.
ci = 1 indicates that the i-th node is black, and ci = 0 indicates that the i-th node is white.
The following n − 1 lines, {l1, l2, . . . , lp, . . . , ln−1}, denoting the structure of the tree follow, each line lp contains 2 integers qp and wp, denoting an edge of length wp between the p + 1-th node and the qp-th node.
1.3 Output
Output the sum of distances for every pair of black nodes in the tree.

This sample considers a tree with 5 nodes:
 The 1-st node is white, and 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-th nodes are black.
The length of edge: (2-nd, 1-st): 1, (3-rd, 1-st): 2, (4-th, 3-rd): 2, (5-th, 3-rd): 1. Ans = ((1 + 2) + (1 + 2 + 2) + (1 + 2 + 1)) + (2 + 1) + 2 + 1 = 18.

  It can be proven that the given structure is definitely an unrooted tree.
For C/C++ and Java users, an int type stores integers range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. It may be too small for this problem. You need other data types, such as long long for C/C++ and long for Java. They store integers ranging from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Use scanf("%lld",&n) for C, cin>>n for C++ and n = scanner.nextLong() for Java to get the input n. And the other operations for long and long long are quite same as int.
For Python users, if there occurs a RecusrionError, see here.

2 Price Sequence (50% of this assignment) 2.1 Description
Mario bought n math books and he recorded their prices. The prices are all integers, and the price sequence is a = {a0 , a2 , ...ai , ..., an−1 } of length n (n ≤ 100000). Please help him to manage this price sequence. There are three types of operations:
• BUY x: buyanewbookwithpricex,thusxisaddedattheendofa.
• CLOSEST ADJ PRICE: output the minimum absolute difference between adjacent prices.
• CLOSEST PRICE: output the absolute difference between the two closest prices in the entire se- quence.
A total of m operations are performed (1 ≤ m ≤ 100000). Each operation is one of the three mentioned types. You need to write a program to perform given operations. For operations ”CLOSEST ADJ PRICE” and ”CLOSEST PRICE” you need to output the corresponding answers.
2.2 Input
The first line contains two integers n and m, representing the length of the original sequence and the number of operations.
The second line consists of n integers, representing the initial sequence a.
Following that are m lines, each containing one operation: either BUY x, CLOSEST ADJ PRICE, or
CLOSEST PRICE (without extra spaces or empty lines).
2.3 Output
For each CLOSEST ADJ PRICE and CLOSEST PRICE command, output one line as the answer.
