Week 3

Complete by 8am Monday of week 3 - be prepared to ask questions in class

1. Give the Big-O time complexity for the following algorithm. Justify your answer.

public static boolean areUnique(List<String> strings) {
        boolean areUnique = true;
        for(int i=0; areUnique && i<strings.size(); ++i) {
            for(int j=0; areUnique && j<strings.size(); ++j) {
                if(i!=j && strings.get(i).equals(strings.get(j)) {
                    areUnique = false;
                }
            }
        }
        return areUnique;
}

        boolean areUnique = true;
        for(int i=0; areUnique && i<strings.size(); ++i) {
            for(int j=i+1; areUnique && j<strings.size(); ++j) {
                if(strings.get(i).equals(strings.get(j)) {
                    areUnique = false;
                }
            }
        }
        return areUnique;
}

1. Give the Big-O time complexity for \( T(n) = 8 + 17n + 3n^2 \).

2. Study Linked Lists and prepare questions and feedback for your instructor Start with the LinkedList.java the code developed in class. Implement the following methods:

3. get(int)

4. set(int, E)

5. add(int, E)

6. contains(Object)

7. remove(int)

8. remove(Object)

9. indexOf(Object)

10. toArray()

11. Study Iterators and prepare questions and feedback for your instructor

12. Implement the ArrayList::ArrayListIterator.remove() method.

13. Implement the LinkedList.iterator() method and the complete inner class that implements the Iterator interface.

Week 4

Complete before Exam I

1. Implement a Stack class with three methods using an array to store items on the stack:
   • E push(E element)
   • E peek()
   • E pop()
2. Implement a method, parenChecker, that accepts a String and returns true if the parenthesization is legal. The method must make use of the Stack developed in lecture.
   • ((a + b) + c) — Good
   • ([a + b] + c) — Good
   • (a + {b + c}) — Good
   • ((a + b) + c — Bad
   • ([a + b] + c] — Bad
   • (a + {b + c)} — Bad

Week 5

1. Implement a Queue class with three methods using an LinkedList to store items on the queue:
   • boolean offer(E element)
   • E peek()
   • E poll()
2. Implement the CircularQueue class introduced in lecture.
3. Implement a recursive method to create a String representation of an array of Strings.
4. bunnyEars
5. triangle
6. countHi

Week 6

In preparation for the week 6 quiz

1. boolean binarySearch(List<E> list, E target) which returns true if the list contains target. You may assume that the list is sorted.
2. changeXY
3. noX
4. pairStar
5. array220
6. countPairs
7. nestParen
8. strCopies
9. groupSum (optional)
