Silly Sentences

Lab 3: Silly Sentences and Fancy Fractals

In this lab, you will be working with recursion. In the first part of the lab, you will write a program that generates random sentences based on a set of syntax rules. In the second, you will use recursion to create pictures of fractals.


Part 1: Recursive Syntax

The grammar of natural languages such as English exhibits a recursive structure. This structure can be expressed in syntax rules written in the format known as BNF (Bachus-Naur Form, named after the people who invented it). You have probably seen BNF used to specify the syntax of programming languages. While BNF is ordinarily used as a guide for parsing (that is, determining whether and how a given string follows the syntax rules), it can also be used a guide for generating strings that follow the syntax rules. An example of this can be found in the sample program SimpleRandomSentences. In this example, each syntax rule -- except for the most basic ones -- is represented by a method that generates strings that follow that rule. Where one syntax rule refers to another rule, the method that represents the first rule calls the method that represents the second rule.

For the first exercise of the lab, you should write a similar program that implements the following rules:

<sentence> ::= <simple_sentence> [ <conjunction> <sentence> ]

<simple_sentence> ::= <noun_phrase> <verb_phrase>

<noun_phrase> ::= <proper_noun> |
<determiner> [ <adjective> ]. <common_noun> [ who <verb_phrase> ]

<verb_phrase> ::= <intransitive_verb> |
<transitive_verb> <noun_phrase> |
is <adjective> |
believes that <simple_sentence>

<conjunction> ::= and | or | but | because

<proper_noun> ::= Fred | Jane | Richard Nixon | Miss America

<common_noun> ::= man | woman | fish | elephant | unicorn

<determiner> ::= a | the | every | some

<adjective> ::= big | tiny | pretty | bald

<intransitive_verb> ::= runs | jumps | talks | sleeps

<transitive_verb> ::= loves | hates | sees | knows | looks for | finds

As in SimpleRandomSentences.java, you can use arrays to implement the last seven rules in this list. (You might improve on that program by writing a single method "void String randomItem(String[] listOfStrings)" for picking a random item from an array of strings.) You are welcome to add to or modify the items in the lists given here.

For each of the first three rules, you should write a subroutine to represent that rule. Note that a choice of alternatives (represented in the rules by "|") can be implemented using a switch or if..else statement; the various choices don't necessarily have to have the same probability. An optional element (represented by brackets, "[ xxx ]") can be implemented by a simple if. And a repeated optional element (represented by brackets with dots, "[ xxx ]...") can be represented by a while loop. You should implement the first four rules exactly as stated here. The main routine should call the <sentence> subroutine to generate random sentences.


You have to be careful in this program to avoid infinite recursion in this program. Since it will use random choices, there is no guarantee that the recursion will ever end. If your probabilities of doing recursion and continuing loops are too high, it is possible for the program to get lost in recursive calls forever -- or to produce some finite but ridiculously long sentences. You should adjust your probabilities to make sure that this doesn't happen, but that you still get some interesting sentences.

Exceptions/Sorting

This lab has two parts, with no real connection between them. The first part of the lab asks you to find out how long it takes to sort a large array using both a sorting method that you write and using Java’s built-in sorting method; this part of the lab is part of this course’s introduction to analysis of algorithms. In the second part of the lab, you will write a program that does some simple networking and file I/O. Since these operations can generate checked exceptions, you have to use try..catch in your program to handle the potential exceptions.
You will probably want to start a new Eclipse project for this lab. However, note that a project can contain any number of programs, so you don’t necessarily need a new project for every small program that you write.
For this assignment, you will write two programs for this lab. You will generate some data using the first program — you should include this data in a comment at the beginning of the program file.

Part 1: Benchmarking Sorting Algorithms

The same task can take vastly different amounts of time, depending on the algorithm that is used to perform the task. You are familiar with simple sorting algorithms such as insertion sort and selection sort. (See Section 7.4 in the textbook.) While these methods work fine for small arrays, for larger arrays they can take an unreasonable amount of time. The question is whether we can do any better.
Java has some built-in sorting methods. They can be found in the class named Arrays in the package java.util. The one that you will use in this lab is Arrays.sort(A), which sorts the entire array A into increasing order. (Actually, there are different methods for different array base types, but all the methods have the same name and are used in the same way. You will be using an array of ints in this lab.)
You should write a program that does the following:
Create two arrays of type int[]. Both arrays should be the same size, and the size should be given by a constant in the program so that you can change it easily.
Fill the arrays with random integers. The arrays should have identical contents, with the same random numbers in both arrays. To generate random integers with a wide range of sizes, you could use (int)(Integer.MAX_VALUE * Math.random()).
Sort the first array using either Selection Sort or Insertion Sort. You should add the sorting method to your program; you can copy it from Section 7.4, if you want. (It is a good idea to check that you got the sorting method correct by using it to sort a short array and printing out the result.)
Time how long it takes to sort the array, and print out the time.
Now, sort the second (identical) array using Arrays.sort(). Again, time how long it takes, and print out the time.
You should run your program using array sizes of 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000. Record the sort times. Add a comment to the top of the program that reports the times. (You might be interested in applying Arrays.sort() to a million-element array, but don’t try that with Selection Sort or Insertion Sort!)
Note: The general method for getting the run time of a code segment is:
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
doSomething();
long runTime = System.currentTimeMillis() – startTime;
This gives the run time in milliseconds. If you want the time in seconds, you can use runTime/1000.0.

Part 2: Programming with Exceptions

In this part of the lab, you will write a program that fetches the information stored at a give URL on the web and saves that data to a file. This will also include networking and file operations and partly an exercise in using exceptions.
For doing I/O, Java has a pair of nice abstractions: InputStream and OutputStream. These are abstract classes in the package java.io. An InputStream is a place from which you can read data; an OutputStream is a place to which you can write data. For this lab, you will use an InputStream to represent the data read from the Web URL, and you will use an OutputStream to represent the file where you want to save a copy of the data. Once you have the streams, the data can be copied just by calling the following method, which you can copy into your program:
private static void copyStream(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws IOException {
int oneByte = in.read();
while (oneByte >= 0) { // negative value indicates end-of-stream
out.write(oneByte);
oneByte = in.read();
}
}

Aside from this method, you should have a main routine that does the following:
Declare variables to represent the InputStream and the OutputStream. It would be a good idea to initialize them to null to avoid uninitialized variable errors.
Read the URL and the file name as strings from the user.
To connect to the web, you need a variable — say url — of type URL (from package java.io). You can create the URL object with the constructor call url = new URL(urlString), where urlString is the string provided by the user. This constructor will throw a MalformedURLException if the string is not a legal URL. (Note: the string must be a complete URL, beginning with “http://”.)
To get the input stream, you can simply call url.openStream(), which returns a value of type InputStream. This can throw an IOException, for example, if the web address that you are asking for does not exist.
To get the output stream, you can use the constructor new FileOutputStream(fileName), where fileName is the file name that was input by the user. This can throw a FileNotFoundException if it is not possible to open the specified file for reading (for example, if the user is trying to create a new file in a directory where they don’t have write permission). Warning: If a file of the same name already exists, the old file will be erased and replaced by the new one, without giving the user any notice!
Now, copy the data from the web into the file by calling the above method. Note that this can throw an IOException.
Finally, use a finally to clause to make sure that both streams are closed (if they were successfully opened). Both InputStream and OutputStream have a close() method for closing the stream. Note that you can test whether the stream was opened by testing whether the value of the variable is still null.
Note that an exception should not crash your program. You should catch the exception and print out a reasonable error message before ending the program. It would be nice if the error message depends on the type of error that occurred (which means using several catch clauses).
