Data Structures 2 Stewart Blakeway blakews@hope.ac.uk
Aims of the Presentation • To demonstrate Arrays in Java • Defining the Array object • Determining the Range • Assigning a value to an element • Sorting the Array • Searching the Array
Quick question – What is Shopping[1] and Shopping[4] ? • Shopping[1] is Crisps • Shopping[4] does not exist Shopping
Another question • int[] cars = new int[7];
Final question int[][] iceCreamSales = new int[7][15];
What we have done before in data structures • A record is a collection of different data types • An array is a fixed size collection of same data types • Single-dimension • Multi-dimension • A sequence is a variable size collection of same data types • Stack • Queue
Operations on arrays: assignment • Scores[4] = 29;
Operations on arrays: retrieval • What would be the output of: System.out.println(Scores[3]+Scores[10]); 62
Example of retrieval • Write a fragment of Java that would display the third name in the array. System.out.println(PlayOffTeams[3]);
Example of retrieval • Write a fragment of Java that would display all the names in the array.
Example of retrieval inti; for (i= 1; i<=4; i++) { System.out.println(PlayOffTeams[i]); }
Initialisation • When arrays are created they should be initialised, otherwise they will possibly contain random numbers or NULL values • The array Scores would want to start out life like this – each element contains 0
Initialisation • We can initialise Scores in Java like this: int j; for (j=1; j<=10; j++) { Scores[j] = 0; }
Searching an array • Example: • How does a “hole in the wall” find your account from your credit card details ? • Need to search through the array of bank records
Different kinds of search available • Linear Search • Binary search
Linear Search • Start at the beginning and examine each in turn until a match found or end of records reached • Fastest find in - • 1 comparison • Slowest find in - • 1,000 comparisons • Average find in - • 500 comparisons for simplicity, we will assume that each search takes 1ms
Search for a national insurance number Is a linear search appropriate ? No ! A better solution in this case is a binary search Linear Search Approximately 59 million people in the UK = Average Search Time of: 48.77 weeks Maximum Search Time of: 1y 43 weeks
Binary Search • Think of a number between 1 and 1000 Figure 12
Binary Search • Think of a number between 1 and 1000 • I can get that number in 10 yes/no questions • is it less than 500? No • is it less than 750? No • is it less than 825? Yes • ... keep going Figure 12
Binary Search • Search for Evans in the array of names which have been sorted into alphabetical order Figure 12

Sorting • We need to sort to • be able to use the fast binary search which depends on the array being in ascending or descending order • produce reports in required order
Sorting • Many different ways of carrying out a sort on an array. • We shall examine EXCHANGE SORT (Also known as the BUBBLE SORT) • We shall look at others
Exchange Sort • Simple • Slow
No swap • 1 Davies • 2 Martin • 3 Perkins • 4 Evans • 5 Mason • 6 Ball • 7 Stephens • 8 Moore • 9 Hurst • 10 Galt See pages 42, 43 in booklet

See pages 42, 43 in booklet • 1 Davies • 2 Martin • 3 Evans • 4 Mason • 5 Ball • 6 Perkins • 7 Moore • 8 Hurst • 9 Galt • 10 Stephens At the end of this first pass, Stephens is in the correct position alphabetically. This is repeated for a second pass starting at position 1 and again and again until the array is completely sorted.
Java Exchange Sort Consider an array of 10,000 surnames, called names, indexed from 0 to 9,999. for (i=1; i<=9999; i++) { for (j=0; j< 9999; j++) { if (names[j] > names[j+1]) { temp = names[j]; names[j] = names[j+1]; names[j+1] = temp; } } }
Summary • Operations on arrays • Initialisation • Assignment • Retrieval • Searching – linear and binary • Sorting – exchange sort
