Assignment 1 Directed Graphs
Overview
Your task is to implement a directed graph class, offering a reasonably effective suite of operations, including computing spanning trees, depth and breadth first traversals, and implementing iterators.
The Code
You are provided with a directed_graph.hpp file, which includes all the basic definitions you will need (and it can be done with just those I made sure). You made add extra methods, classes, structs etc., as long as they dont interfere with the operation of the tests. You may not include any further classes from the standard library in any of your marked code. You have also been provided with a main.cpp for ad-hoc testing purposes. main.cpp file does not form part of the assignment, and will not be marked. You can do anything you like with it. When the run button is pressed, it will compile and run main.cpp. When the mark button is pressed, your code will be run against the tests. Note that as this is C++, if your code causes a program crash (e.g. a segfault), the testing code cannot recover, and will fail to mark your work if you get this, make sure you fix that problem first!
You have also been given a copy of test.h, which is the set of tests that the code will be run against. Note that this code has had certain elements removed (things that would just give part of the solution), so its not runnable in its current state, but it may help you understand where you program is failing, and to design your own tests to be run with main.cpp.
Remember to read over all the code before starting.
You have terminal access if you so desire it.
Directed Graphs
As the abstract data structure, and the possibilities for implementing it, have been covered in the lectures, I wont repeat them here. Please refer to the lecture material for the technical details in this regard. However, dont hesitate to ask questions etc. youre welcome to inquire, I just dont want to clutter this space up!
The directed_graph Class
directed_graph is probably the most complicated C++ class you will have had to implement, but it bears a great resemblance to many of the things weve already done, so just break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks. The code itself is commented to indicate the purpose of each method. Again, to avoid clutter, I wont repeat it all here, but do not hesitate to ask if anything is unclear (theres a forum specifically for the assignment).
Marking
The assignment will be marked against three components: functionality, design and style.
Functionality will be marked exclusively by the tests, and constitutes 50% of the total mark (note that the marks for the tests add up to 50 so they give you the percentage you will get as well).
Design will be marked in your Week 9 tutorial by your tutor and constitutes 35% of the total mark. It does not depend on the functionality of your code. You may be asked questions by your tutor to help them test your understanding of your code. It will be marked qualitatively against the following rubric:
Pass The code shows basic understanding of how to employ datastructures to achieve a goal. The design should avoid unnecessarydata structures and should make reasonable use ofiteration and recursion when appropriate.
Credit The design shows a solid understanding of data structures anddemonstrate effective use of control structures to achieve theprograms goals.
Distinction The design shows a high degree of understanding of how touse data structures to achieve a goal efficiently, and demonstratesome evidence that the design does not use unnecessaryresources. The design should be clean and efficient.
High Distinction The design demonstrates a high degree of understanding ofdata structures and how to efficiently employ them to buildalgorithms that not only meet technical goals, but supportmaintenance and future development.
Style will also be mark in your Week 9 tutorial by your tutor. It will be marked qualitatively against the following rubric:
Pass The code mostly uses some formatting standard and is somewhatreadable.
Credit The code adheres well to a formatting standard and variablesare well named.
Distinction At least as well formatted as for Credit standards, along withsufficient inline commenting to explain the code.
High Distinction Excellent formatting and variable naming. Excellent, judiciouslyemployed comments that explain the code without justrepeating the code.
Marking Schedule
All being well, assuming you submit before the deadline and attend your Week 9 tutorial (in the class you are actually enrolled in exceptions will only be made for cases where attendance at your enrolled tutorial is impossible), we aim to return the marks for the assignment within a week of the tutorial. However, we reserve the right to delay this schedule should technical problems arise.
Submission
You will submit your work with the mark button on Ed. No other submissions will be accepted. You are welcome to develop your code elsewhere, if that suits your workflow, but remember it must compile and run on Ed. We are using the g++ compiler set to C++17 standard for this assessment. However code that compiles with clang++ should also work with g++ (unless youre doing something weird so check first!).
You may submit as many times as you like (in fact, repeated submission is an expected part of the development process).
Due Date
The assignment is due before midnight on the Friday of Week 8, which should be the 10th of May (but check that date).
Plagiarism Checking
All code will be checked for student misconduct and plagiarism using specialised code similarity detection software.
