KIT205 Data Structures and Algorithms
Assignment 2: Data Structures
Due: 24th April (Friday, Week 8) at 11:55pm
Introduction
After some recent experience with online learning, the University wishes to expand its online
offerings and introduce more Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). You have been asked to
develop some software to manage student enrolments. You decide to develop a prototype
solution to test the performance of different data structures and algorithms.
The University will initially only offer a few courses, but that may expand significantly in the
future. More importantly, each course may have many thousands of students – perhaps even
hundreds of thousands. Your software needs to provide the following functions:
1. Add course
2. Remove course
3. Enrol student
4. Un-enrol student
5. Print an ordered summary of courses and the number of students enrolled in each
course
6. Print an ordered list of students enrolled in a course
7. Print an ordered list of courses that a given student is enrolled in
The number of courses is small, but may grow significantly, so a scalable solution is required.
Many functions require courses to be printed in (alphabetical) order, so an ordered data
structure will be a good choice. Therefore, you decide to use a simple linked list to store the
courses, with course stored in-order.
The number of students per course will potentially be very large and, for quick access and
printing, sorted student ids are also required. Initially, you decide to test performance of a
binary search tree to store student enrolments, but you would like to test an AVL tree as well.
Note that, for this preliminary testing, only the student ids will be stored (as long ints).

Assignment Specification – Part A (80%)
For this part of the assignment you will implement a prototype that uses an ordered linked list
to store courses, with each course having a name and a BST of students. You must use the BST
and linked list code developed in the tutorials, however the data structures will be modified
for the new data (and functions will also require minor modifications to accommodate these
changes). The following definitions MUST be used:
typedef struct bstNode {
long id;
struct bstNode *left;
struct bstNode *right;
} *BSTNodePtr;
typedef struct bst {
BSTNodePtr root;
} BST;
typedef char* String;
typedef struct listNode{
String course;
BST students;
struct listNode *next;
} *CourseNodePtr;
typedef struct list {
CourseNodePtr head;
} CourseList;
The CourseNodePtr and CourseList definitions and (modified) linked list functions must be
placed in files list.h and list.c. The BSTNodePtr and BST definitions and modified BST
functions must be placed in files bst.h and bst.c.
All remaining code should be placed in a file called main.c that contains the main function
and program logic. This file will contain separate functions for each of the seven operations
listed in the introduction, as well as an eighth function to handle termination. Other functions
may be added if required.
Program I/O
All interactions with the program will be via the console. Operations 1-7 will be selected by
typing 1-7 at the command prompt. Quitting the application will be selected by typing 0. For
example, the following input sequence would create a course called “abc123” and enrol a
student with id “123456” in that course then quit the application:
Note that this sequence shows the input only, not the program response (if any). You are free
to add prompts to make the application more user friendly, but this will not be assessed
(although it may be useful).
Program output in response to operations 5-7, should be as minimal as possible. You may
print a header if you wish, but this should be followed by one record per line with spaces
separating data. For example, in response to operation 5, the output might be:
Current enrolments:
abc123 32
def123 0
def456 10236
I/O Restrictions
You may assume that all input will always be in the correct format and contain no logical
errors.
• Commands will always be in the range 0-7
• Course names will always be strings less than 100 characters long and may contain any
alpha-numeric characters (no spaces)
• Student ids will always be positive integers in the range 0-999999
• The user will never attempt to add a student to a non-existent course
• The user will never attempt to print data for a non-existent course
• The user will never attempt to print data for a non-existent student
Note: Courses that contain enrolled students may be removed, in which case student data for
that course should also be removed. Courses with zero students should not be automatically
removed.
Memory Management
Course names should be stored in appropriately size dynamically allocated memory. Names
will always be less than 100 characters long. For example, the course name “abc123” would
be stored in a char string of length 7.
Removing (un-enrolling) a student or removing a course should free all associated dynamically
allocated memory. Removing a course should free all memory for the enrolled students as
well as the course. The quit function should also free all dynamically allocated memory.
Assignment Specification – Part B (20%)
This part of the assignment should only be attempted once you have a fully implemented and
thoroughly tested solution to part A. It would be better to submit a complete part A and no
part B than to submit a partially complete part A and part B.
The requirements for this part of the assignment are exactly the same as for part A except that
an AVL tree must be used to store students, rather than storing them in a BST. The AVL files
should be named avl.h and avl.c. The AVL node definition should be a modified version of
the BST node.
Minimal assistance will be provided for this part of the assignment. No assistance at all will be
given unless you can demonstrate a fully implemented and thoroughly tested solution to part
A.
Testing
It can be very time consuming to thoroughly test a program like this when all input is done
manually (imagine testing that your solution can manage 10000 students). A common method
of testing code like this is to use input redirection (and possibly output redirection). When
using input redirection your code runs without modification, but all input comes from a file
instead of from the keyboard.
This facility is provided in Visual Studio through the project properties dialog. For example, to
redirect input from a file called “test.txt”, you would add:
<"$(ProjectDir)test.txt"
to Configuration Properties|Debugging|Command Arguments. This will be demonstrated in
tutorials.
At least one small input test file with sample output will be provided. It is recommended that
you construct larger files to fully test your program. As well as larger test files, it would also be
wise to construct files that test edge cases.
Assignment Submission
Assignments will be submitted via MyLO (an Assignment 2 dropbox will be created).
Submissions should consist of one zipped Visual Studio project for each part of the assignment
that you attempt. You should use the following procedure to prepare your submission:
• Make sure that your project has been thoroughly tested
• Choose “Clean Solution” from the “Build” menu in Visual Studio. This step is very
important as it ensures that the version that the marker runs will be the same as the
version that you believe the marker is running.
• Quit Visual Studio and zip your entire project folder
• Upload a copy of the zip file to the MyLO dropbox
History tells us that mistakes frequently happen when following this process, so you should
then:
• Unzip the folder to a new location
• Open the project and confirm that it still compiles and runs as expected
o If not, repeat the process from the start (a common error occurs when
copying projects, where the code files you are editing end up existing outside
of the project folder structure – and therefore don’t get submitted when you
zip the folder)
KIT205 Data Structures and Algorithms: Assignment 1 - Data Structures
Synopsis of the task and its context
This is an individual assignment making up 10% of the overall unit assessment. The assessment criteria for this task are:
1. Adapt generic data structures for use in a specific problem
2. Implement generic list data structures and algorithms
3. Implement generic tree data structures and algorithms
A significant and extremely important part of software development is thorough testing. Small programming errors may attract a large penalty if the error is something
that should have been picked up in testing! Please try to complete your program early to leave enough time for testing.
Match between learning outcomes and criteria for the task:
Unit learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to … Task criteria:
