Two java homework
1. Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to implement a Stack ADT in the two most common ways,
an array and a linked list. You will implement stacks for Java double numbers.
2. Description
Your Stack implementations will be used to do sound manipulation, namely reversing a
sound clip. This process, called "backmasking," was used by musicians including the Beatles,
Jimi Hendrix, and Ozzy Ozbourne. You will write a program that reads a sound file in
the .dat format and writes another .dat sound file which is the reverse of the first. The sample
code has provided a class Reverse whose main method reads in a .dat sound file, pushes all the
sound values on a stack, then pops them all off and writes them into a new .dat sound file. The
sample code has also provided an interface DStack, which defines a stack that holds double
values. Your first job is to familiarize yourself with these files.
2.1. Implementing the Stack ADT (70 points)
You need to provide two stack implementations, one using an array and one using a linked
list. They should be called ArrayStack and ListStack, respectively. They should implement
the DStack interface given to you. Reverse should work and create backward sound files once
you complete these two implementations. Your array implementation should start with a small
array (say, 10 elements) and resize to use an array twice as large whenever the array becomes
full, copying over the elements in the smaller array. While there are convenient Java library
methods for copying arrays, for this assignment, use your own loop to copy array elements
manually (so you can "see" the work involved in copying).
Both ArrayStack and ListStack should throw an EmptyStackException if pop() or peek() is
called when the stack is empty. To use EmptyStackException, add the following line to your file:
import java.util.EmptyStackException;
The only Java class that you should use to complete the implementations of your stacks
is java.util.EmptyStackException. You should also use the length field of an array.
2.2. Running Reverse (10 points)
The Reverse program takes 3 arguments (also known as "command-line arguments"). The
first is the word array or list and specifies which implementation to use. The next two are the
input and output .dat file names (you need to include the .dat extension). Running the program
will depend on your system; from a command line it will look something like:
java Reverse list in.dat out.dat
In an IDE there is usually a dialog box for setting program parameters which contains a field
for the program arguments. (For example, in Netbeans select Build->Run Arguments and a bar
will appear at the top of the screen that allows you to type in the arguments. Read more about
setting command line parameters in Netbeans.)
To test your program, you will need a .dat file, which you can create from a .wav file as
explained in the Digital Sound section. It is also useful to create short .dat files by hand to aid
testing.
Note that Reverse.java just uses your stacks in one particular way: pushing a bunch of
elements onto the stack and then popping them all off.
2.3. Questions (20 points)
Sumbit a report (in word or pdf), answering the questions below.
1. How did you test that your stack implementations were correct?
2. The file secret.wav is a backwards recording of a word or short phrase. Use sox(or
another converter) and your program to reverse it, and write that as the answer to this
question.
3. Your array stacks start with a small array and double in size if they become full. For
a .dat file with 1 million lines, how many times would this resizing occur? What about
with 1 billion lines or 1 trillion lines (assuming the computer had enough memory)?
Explain your answer.
4. Include a description of how your project goes "bonus components" the basic
requirements (if it does).
5. What did you enjoy about this assignment? What did you not enjoy? What could you
have done better?
6. What else, if anything, would you would like to include related to this homework?
2.4. Bonus Components (3 points)
The following suggestion is meant for you to try if you finish the requirements early.
• Modify your array implementations so that when the array is 3/4 empty, the stack resizes
to use an array of half the size.
2.5. Java Help
For this assignment you need to implement an interface, DStack, in two ways. The
DStack interface defines a simple stack:
public interface DStack {
public boolean isEmpty();
public void push(double d);
public double pop();
public double peek();
}
An actual interface includes comments, including a description of how pop() and peek() should
behave if they are called when the stack is empty. To implement this interface, write a class as
follows:
public class ArrayStack implements DStack {
public ArrayStack() {
// Your constructor code
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
// Your isEmpty() code
}
public void push(double d) {
// Your push() code
}
// continue with the rest of the methods,
// along with any fields, etc.
}
The ListStack class should be defined similarly. You should include appropriate comments
as needed. In particular, each file should begin with a comment that describes the class in the
file, and includes your name and other identifying information.
Turn in :ArrayStack.java
• ListStack.java
• ListStackNode.java, the linked-list node for use with your ListStack class. However,
you are also free to use an inner class inside ListStack in which case you will not have a
separate file.
