Mid-Semester Feedback

Q1: Mid-Semester Feedback

As part of this week’s homework, please fill out the Mid-Semester Feedback form.

This survey is designed to help us make short term adjustments to the course so that it works better for you. We appreciate your feedback. We may not be able to make every change that you request, but we will read all the feedback and consider it.

Confidentiality: Your responses to the survey are confidential, and only the instructor (Pamela) and head TA (Vanshaj) will be able to see this data unanonymized. More specifics on confidentiality can be found on the survey itself.

Once you finish the survey, you will be presented with a passphrase (if you miss it, it should also be at the bottom of the confirmation email you receive). Put this passphrase, as a string, on the line that says passphrase = '*** PASSPHRASE HERE ***' in the Python file for this assignment.

python3 ok -q midsem_survey✂️

Parsons Problems

Q2: Chain

For this question, we will define a chain as a path from the root of a tree t to any leaf such that all nodes on the path share the same label. Implement the function chain, which, given a tree t, returns True if there exists any chain in the tree, and False otherwise.

def chain(t):"""Returns whether there exists a path in t where all nodesshare the same label.>>> all_fives = Tree(5, [Tree(5), Tree(5, [Tree(5)])])>>> chain(all_fives)True>>> t1 = Tree(1, [Tree(3, [Tree(4)]), Tree(1)])>>> chain(t1)True>>> t2 = Tree(1, [Tree(3, [Tree(4)]), Tree(5)])>>> chain(t2)False""""*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"if t.is_leaf():return Truefor b in t.branches:if t.label == b.label and chain(b):return Truereturn False

Q3: Flatten Link

Write a function flatten_link that takes in a linked list lnk and returns the sequence as a Python list. If lnk has nested linked lists, flatten_link should flatten lnk.

def flatten_link(lnk):"""Takes a linked list and returns a flattened Python list with the same elements.>>> link = Link(1, Link(2, Link(3, Link(4))))>>> flatten_link(link)[1, 2, 3, 4]>>> flatten_link(Link.empty)[]>>> deep_link = Link(Link(1, Link(2, Link(3, Link(4)))), Link(Link(5), Link(6)))>>> flatten_link(deep_link)[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]""""*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"if lnk is Link.empty:return []if isinstance(lnk.first, Link):return flatten_link(lnk.first) + flatten_link(lnk.rest)return [lnk.first] + flatten_link(lnk.rest)

Code Writing Questions

Q4: Has Path

Write a function has_path that takes in a Tree t and a string term. It returns True if there is a path that starts from the root where the entries along the path spell out the term, and False otherwise. You may assume that every node’s label is exactly one character.

This data structure is called a trie, and it has a lot of cool applications, such as autocomplete.

def has_path(t, term):"""Return whether there is a path in a Tree where the entries along the pathspell out a particular term.>>> greetings = Tree('h', [Tree('i'),...                        Tree('e', [Tree('l', [Tree('l', [Tree('o')])]),...                                   Tree('y')])])>>> print(greetings)hielloy>>> has_path(greetings, 'h')True>>> has_path(greetings, 'i')False>>> has_path(greetings, 'hi')True>>> has_path(greetings, 'hello')True>>> has_path(greetings, 'hey')True>>> has_path(greetings, 'bye')False>>> has_path(greetings, 'hint')False"""assert len(term) > 0, 'no path for empty term.'"*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"if len(term) == 1:return str(t.label) == term[0]flag = Falseif str(t.label) == term[0]:for b in t.branches:if str(b.label) == term[1]:flag = has_path(b, term[1:])return flag

Q5: Duplicate Link

Write a function duplicate_link that takes in a linked list lnk and a value. duplicate_link will mutate lnk such that if there is a linked list node that has a first equal to value, that node will be duplicated. Note that you should be mutating the original link list lnk; you will need to create new Links, but you should not be returning a new linked list.

Note: in order to insert a link into a linked list, you need to modify the .rest of certain links. We encourage you to draw out a doctest to visualize!

def duplicate_link(lnk, val):"""Mutates `lnk` such that if there is a linked listnode that has a first equal to value, that node willbe duplicated. Note that you should be mutating theoriginal link list.>>> x = Link(5, Link(4, Link(3)))>>> duplicate_link(x, 5)>>> xLink(5, Link(5, Link(4, Link(3))))>>> y = Link(2, Link(4, Link(6, Link(8))))>>> duplicate_link(y, 10)>>> yLink(2, Link(4, Link(6, Link(8))))""""*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"def duplicate(lnk, val):new_lnk = Link(val, lnk)return new_lnkif int(lnk.first) == val:new_lnk = duplicate(lnk.rest, val)lnk.rest = new_lnk

Use Ok to test your code:

python3 ok -q duplicate_link✂️

Q6: Mutable Mapping

Implement deep_map_mut(fn, link), which applies a function fn onto all elements in the given linked list lnk. If an element is itself a linked list, apply fn to each of its elements, and so on.

Your implementation should mutate the original linked list. Do not create any new linked lists.

Hint: The built-in isinstance function may be useful.
>>> s = Link(1, Link(2, Link(3, Link(4))))
>>> isinstance(s, Link)
True
>>> isinstance(s, int)
False

Construct Check: The last doctest of this question ensures that you do not create new linked lists. If you are failing this doctest, ensure that you are not creating link lists by calling the constructor, i.e.
s = Link(1)

def deep_map_mut(fn, lnk):"""Mutates a deep link lnk by replacing each item found with theresult of calling fn on the item.  Does NOT create new Links (sono use of Link's constructor).Does not return the modified Link object.>>> link1 = Link(3, Link(Link(4), Link(5, Link(6))))>>> # Disallow the use of making new Links before calling deep_map_mut>>> Link.__init__, hold = lambda *args: print("Do not create any new Links."), Link.__init__>>> try:...     deep_map_mut(lambda x: x * x, link1)... finally:...     Link.__init__ = hold>>> print(link1)<9 <16> 25 36>""""*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"while lnk:if isinstance(lnk.first, Link):deep_map_mut(fn, lnk.first)else:lnk.first = fn(lnk.first)lnk = lnk.rest
