Outline: Art of programming • Computing factorial • Sorting numbers • Computing primes
Computing Factorial • The factorial of an integer is the product of that number and all of the positive integers smaller than it. • - 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 • - 50! = • 30414093201713378043612608166064768844377641568960512000000000000
Computing Factorials • A simple class to compute factorials: • public class Factorial { • public static int factorial(int x) { • int fact = 1; • for (int i =2; i <= x; i ++) //loop • fact *= i; //shorthand for: fact=fact*i; • return fact; • } • } • public class ComputingFactorial { • public static void main(String arg[]) { • int a = Factorial.factorial(Integer.parseInt(arg[0])); • System.out.println(a); • }}
Computing Factorials • Recursive Factorials • /** • * This class shows a recursive method to compute factorials. This method • * calls itself repeatedly based on the formula: n! = n*(n-1)! • **/ • public class Factorial2 { • public long factorial(long x) { • if (x == 1) return 1; • else return x*factorial(x - 1); • } • }
Computing Factorials • Caching factorials • public class Factorial3 { • //create an array to cache values 0! Through 20! • Static long[] table = new long[21]; • Static {table[0] = 1;} //factorial of 0 is 1 • //Remember the highest initialized value in the array • static int last = 0; • public static long factorial(int x) { • while (last < x) { • table [last + 1] = table[last]*(last + 1); • last++; • }}
Sorting Numbers • Sorting: • Input n numbers, sort them such that the numbers are ordered increasingly. • 3 9 1 6 5 4 8 2 10 7 • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Sorting Numbers • A simple sorting algorithm • main idea: • 1st step: 3 9 1 6 5 4 8 2 10 7 • 2nd step: 1 9 3 6 5 4 8 2 10 7 • 1 2 3 6 5 4 8 9 10 7 • … ... swap swap
Sorting Numbers • Sorting program: • import java.lang.*; • public class SortNumber { • public static void sort(double[] nums) { • for(int i = 0; i < nums.length - 1; i++) { • int min = i +1; • for (int j = i+2; j < nums.length; j++) { • if (nums[j] < nums[min]) min = j; • } • if (nums[i] > nums[min]) { • double tmp; • tmp = nums[i]; nums[i] = nums[min]; nums[min] = tmp;} • }}
Sorting Numbers • public static void main (String[] args) { • double[] nums = new double[10]; //Create an array to hold numbers • for(int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) //Generate random numbers • nums[i] = Math.random()*100; • sort(nums); //Sort them • for (int j = 0; j < nums.length; j++) //Print them out • System.out.println(nums [j] ); • } • }
Sorting Numbers • Quick sort • main idea: • Algorithm quick_sort(from, center, to) • Input: from - pointer to the starting position of array A • center - pointer to the middle position of array A • to - pointer to the end position of array A • Output: sorted array: A’ • 1. Find the first element a = A(i) larger than or equal to A(center) from • A(from) to A(to); • 2. Find the first element b = A(j) smaller than or equal to A(center) from • A(to) to A(from); • 3. If i < j then exchange a and b; • 4. Repeat step from 1 to 3 until j <= i; • 5. If from < j then recursive call quick_sort(from,(from + j)/2, j); • 6. If i < to then recursive call quick_sort(i, (i+ to)/2, to);
center Sorting Numbers • Quick sort • main idea: • 1st step: 3 1 6 5 4 8 10 7 • 2nd step: 3 2 1 5 8 9 10 7 • 3rd step: 3 2 1 4 5 6 8 9 10 7 The center element is 5. from to 9 2 j i 6 4 i = j = 5 greater than 5 Smaller than 5

Sorting Numbers - quick sorting 17, 2, 1, 14, 13, 12, 11, 8, 16, 15 3, 4, 6, 1, 10, 9, 5, 20, 19, 18, j i 17, 2, 1, 14, 13, 12, 11, 8, 16, 20 18, 19, 3, 4, 6, 1, 10, 9, 5, 15, 19, 20 3, 4, 6, 1, 10, 9, 5, 15, 16, 18, 17, 2, 1, 14, 13, 12, 11, 8, 18, 8, 17, 2, 1, 14, 13, 12, 11, 19, 20 3, 4, 6, 1, 10, 9, 5, 15, 16, i=17 8, 17, 2, 1, 14, 13, 12, 11 3, 4, 6, 1, 10, 9, 5, 15, 16, j=16
Sorting Numbers • Another Java program for the quick sort: • public class Sorter { • public static void sort (int[] a, int from, int to) { • if ((a == null) || (a.length < 2)) return; • int i = from, j = to; • int center = a[(from + to)/2]; • do { • while ((i < to) && (a[i] < center)) i++; • while ((j > from) && (a[j] > center)) j--; • if (i < j) { int tmp =a[i]; a [i] = a[j]; a[j] = tmp;} • i++; j--; • }while (i <= j);
Sorting Numbers • Another Java program for the quick sort: • if (from < j) sort(a, from, j); • if (i < to) sort(a, i, to); } • }
Sorting by merging • Merging means the combination of two or more ordered sequence into • a single sequence. For example, can merge two sequences: 503, 703, 765 • and 087, 512, 677 to obtain a sequence: 087, 503, 512, 677, 703, 765. • A simple way to accomplish this is to compare the two smallest items, • output the smallest, and then repeat the same process. 503 703 765 087 512 677 503 703 765 512 677 087 703 765 512 677 087 503
Merging algorithm • Algorithm Merge(s1, s2) • Input: two sequences: s1 - x1 x2 ... xm and s2 - y1 y2 ... yn • Output: a sorted sequence: z1 z2 ... zm+n. • 1.[initialize] i := 1, j := 1, k := 1; • 2.[find smaller] if xi yjgoto step 3, otherwise goto step 5; • 3.[output xi] zk.:= xi, k := k+1, i := i+1. If i m, goto step 2; • 4.[transmit yj ... yn] zk, ..., zm+n := yj, ..., yn. Terminate the algorithm; • 5.[output yj] zk.:= yj, k := k+1, j := j+1. If j n, goto step 2; • 6.[transmit xi ... xm] zk, ..., zm+n := xi, ..., xm. Terminate the algorithm;
Merge-sorting • Algorithm Merge-sorting(s) • Input: a sequences s = < x1, ..., xm> • Output: a sorted sequence. • 1. If |s| = 1, then return s; • 2. k := m/2; • 3. s1 := Merge-sorting(x1, ..., xk); • 4. s2 := Merge-sorting(xk+1, ..., xm); • 5. return(Merge(s1, s2));
Computing Primes • Finding the largest prime number smaller than a specified integer: • Input integer m, find p m such that p is a prime and if there is prime p’ > p then p’ must be larger m. • than m. 1 4 6 8 9 10 12 14 15 16 18 20 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19
2 2 3 3 4 4 Computing Primes • Algorithm • main idea: find primes by eliminating multiples of the form k j, where j is a prime smaller than square-root(m) and k is an integer such that k j m. 2 i j square-root(m) ... ... prime j i 2 2 3 2 i j j 4 2 i ... ... ...
Computing Primes • Import java.lang.*; • public class Sieve { • public static void main(String[] args) { • int max = 100; //Assign a default value • try {max = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);} • catch (Exception e) {} //Silently ignore exceptions. • //Create an array that specifies whether each number is prime or not. • boolean[] isprime = new boolean[max+1]; • //Assume that all numbers are primes, until proven otherwise. • for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) isprime[i] = true; • //We know that that 0 and 1 are not prime. Make a note of it. • isprime[0] = isprime[1] = false;
Computing Primes • //To compute all primes less than max, we need to rule out multiples of all • //integers less than the square root of max. • int n = (int) Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(max)); • for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) { • if (isprime[i]) { int k = 2; • for (int j = k*i; j < max; j = (k ++)*i) • isprime[j] = false; } • } • int largest; • for (largest = max - 1; !isprime[largest]; largest--); //empty loop body • System.out.println(“The largest prime less than or equal to “ + max + “is ” • + largest); }}
