1 Class #21: Searching/Sorting I Software Design II (CS 220): M. Allen, 26 Feb. 18 Searching for Information Many applications involve finding pieces of information Finding a book in a library or store catalogue Finding movie show-times and nearby locations online Finding a path through a maze Finding the best possible move in a game of chess Finding the shortest drive from La Crosse to Milwaukee Finding a flight from La Crosse to Los Angeles, leaving after 9:00 AM and costing less than $500 return-trip Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 2 Simple Searching For complex, constrained searches (like shortest paths, or lowest fares), deciding how to find the information we want can be very challenging For simpler searches (like finding a book in a catalogue or a client in an address-book), things are often easier One key factor is the data structures we use How is data stored? How can we access individual pieces of data? Example: How can we find a single piece of data in an array? A Simple Method for Searching Consider how to explain search process in simple step-by-step English 1. Start at the beginning of the list 2. Check if it is what you are looking for [0] [1] [2]... [l-3] [l-2] [l-1] a. If it is, then you found it! Report it & stop. 3b. If it is not, and you are not at the end of list, repeat process on the next entry. 4. If you get to the end of the list, and haven t found it, it isn t there. Report & stop. Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 3 Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 4 1
2 Isolating the Logical Structure Take your English translation and try to isolate the basic moving parts 1. Start at the beginning of the list 2. Check if it is what you are looking for 3a. If it is, then you found it! Report it & stop. 3b. If it is not, and you are not at the end of list, repeat process on the next entry. 4. If you get to the end of the list, and haven t found it, it isn t there. Report & stop. : a loop : if/else Output: return statement Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 5 Translating into Java Once you have the moving parts, you can translate into code; private int simplesearch( int target ) for ( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++ ) if ( array[i] == target ) return i; Output Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 6 Why Return -1? Found Not found private int simplesearch( int target ) for ( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++ ) if (array[i] == target ) return i; If the method finds the target value, returns its array position Otherwise, returns signal value (-1), allowing us to tell that target wasn t found int index = simplesearch( 50 ); if ( index < 0 ) System.out.println( "Not found!" ); else System.out.println( "Found at: " + index ); Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 7 Exploiting Data Structure With a random list of numbers, the simple search procedure might be the best we could do, since the number could be anywhere in the list If we know something about the data, we can often do something more intelligent How can you find if a word is in a regular book? What if that book is in fact a dictionary? How can you find a number in a sorted array? Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 8 2
3 Binary Searching A more complex search process is possible with sorted data: [0] [1] [2]... [mid]... [l-3] [l-2] [l-1] Repeat as needed 4. Repeat as needed 1. Start in the middle position 3a. If middle value is too big, look in lower half of list 2. If it is not what you want, then either: 3a. If middle value is too small, look in top half of list Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 9 Translating Binary Search into Java Too small: search top half of array Too big: search the bottom half private int binsearch( int target ) int start = 0; int stop = array.length - 1; while ( start <= stop ) int mid = ( start + stop ) / 2; if ( array[mid] == target ) return mid; else if ( array[mid] < target ) start = mid + 1; else if ( array[mid] > target ) stop = mid - 1; Find middle Target found (done)! Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 10 Translating Binary Search into Java (B) We loop until the starting point crosses over and becomes larger than end point. (D) To search in bottom half of current range, we move the stopping point downwards. private int binsearch( int target ) int start = 0; int stop = array.length - 1; while ( start <= stop ) int mid = ( start + stop ) / 2; if ( array[mid] == target ) return mid; else if ( array[mid] < target ) start = mid + 1; else if ( array[mid] > target ) stop = mid - 1; (A) Initially, we set the limits of our search from front of array all the way to end. (C) To search in top half of current range, we move the starting point upwards. Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 11 Simple Search vs. Binary Search: What s the Difference? Binary search is more complicated than simple search This complexity can pay for itself, however, when dealing with very large data sets Worst-case performance: how many elements, at most, will each algorithm look at before it finishes? Worst-case: Item not found at all Simple search: looks at all members of array Binary search: divides the data in half each time, which gives us a maximum of log 2 N, where N is the array size Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 12 3
4 A Concrete Example Consider a petabyte of data: A quadrillion bytes = Circa 2014, Google processed about 100 petabytes per day Suppose it takes a nanosecond (billionth of a second) to consider each value in a petabyte-sized array Sorting an Array Consider an array of integers in some random order Binary search will not work on such an array Want to sort in ascending order (lowest highest) first: Simple Search / 10 9 = 10 6 sec days Binary Search log = 50 nsec. 50 billionth of a sec Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 13 Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 14 One Way to Sort an Array One possibility: progressively swap array entries Start with the number in 2 nd place, and check whether it is smaller or greater than the one in 1 st place: Since it is smaller, swap them, and move on to 3 rd place Continuing the Process Consider what happens with the final entry (0) in array After we swap, it still isn t in the right place yet Must continue process, swapping until in its final position Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 15 Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 16 4
5 Logical Structure of a Simple Bubble Sort Translating the Logical Structure 1. Start at the beginning of list 2. Check if first & second elements are in correct order 3a. If not, then swap the elements. 3b. If necessary, repeat process in reverse order: keep swapping until there are no more swaps to do and smallest element is now in correct position 4. Repeat until end of list. Swap More! (nested loop) More! private void bubblesort( int[] list ) for ( int i = 1; i < list.length; i++ ) for ( int j = i; j > 0; j-- ) if ( list[j-1] > list[j] ) int temp = list[j]; list[j] = list[j-1]; list[j-1] = temp; Swap Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 17 Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 18 This Week & Next Meetings this week: Monday Tuesday: regular classroom Thursday Friday: in the CS Lab (16 Wing) Midterm 01: next Monday, 05 March Practice exam up on D2L, answer key Thursday morning Covers everything up to last week (recursion, lectures 1 10) Office Hours: Wing 210 Monday/Wednesday/Friday, 10:00 AM 11:00 AM Tuesday/Thursday, 1:30 PM 3:00 PM Monday, 26 Feb Software Design II (CS 220) 19 5
