COMP9021 Principles of Programming

Term 1, 2024

Assignment 1

Worth 13marks and due Week 7 Monday @ 10am

1. General Matters

1.1 Aim

The purpose of this assignment is to:

? develop your problem-solving skills.

? design and implement the solution to a problem in the form of a medium sized Python program.

? practice the use of arithmetic computations, tests, repetitions, lists, and strings.

? use procedural programming.

1.2 Marking

This assignment is worth 13 marks distributed approximately as follows:

1.50 marks for "I don't get what you want, sorry mate!"

3.50 marks for "Hey, ask me something that's not impossible to do!"

2.25 marks for "Please convert ***"

2.50 marks for "Please convert *** using ***"

3.25 marks for "Please convert *** minimally"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

13.00 marks total

Your program will be tested against several inputs. For each test, the automarking script will let your

program run for 30 seconds. The outputs of your program should be exactly as indicated.

1.3 Due Date and Submission

Your program will be stored in a file named roman_arabic.py. The assignment can be submitted

more than once. The last version just before the due date and time will be marked (unless you submit late

in which case the last late version will be marked).

Assignment 1 is due Week 7 Monday 25 March 2024 @ 10:00am (Sydney time)

Note that late submission with 5% penalty per day is allowed up to 5 days from the due date, that is, any

late submission after Week 7 Saturday 30 March 2024 @ 10:00am will be discarded.

Make sure not to change the filename roman_arabic.py while submitting by clicking on [Mark]

button in Ed. It is your responsibility to check that your submission did go through properly using

Submissions link in Ed otherwise your mark will be zero for Assignment 1.

1.4 Reminder on Plagiarism Policy

You are permitted, indeed encouraged, to discuss ways to solve the assignment with other people. Such

discussions must be in terms of algorithms, not code. But you must implement the solution on your own.

Submissions are scanned for similarities that occur when students copy and modify other people’s work or

work very closely together on a single implementation. Severe penalties apply.

2. Description

You will design and implement a program that prompts the user for an input with:

How can I help you?

User input should be one of three possible kinds:

Please convert ***

Please convert *** using ***

Please convert *** minimally

If the user input is not of this form, with any occurrence of *** an arbitrary nonempty sequence

of non-space symbols, then the program should print out:

I don't get what you want, sorry mate!

and stop.

3

2.1 First Kind of Input

In case the user inputs Please convert ***, then *** should be either a strictly positive

integer (whose representation should not start with 0) that can be converted to a Roman number

(hence be at most equal to 3999), or a valid Roman number; otherwise, the program should

print out:

Hey, ask me something that's not impossible to do!

and stop.

If the input is as expected, then the program should perform the conversion, from Arabic to

Roman or from Roman to Arabic, and print out the result in the form:

Sure! It is ***

2.2 Second Kind of Input

In case the user inputs Please convert *** using ***, then the first *** should be

a strictly positive integer (whose representation should not start with 0) or a sequence of

(lowercase or uppercase) letters and the second *** should be a sequence of distinct

(lowercase or uppercase) letters.

Moreover:

? the second *** is intended to represent a sequence of so-called generalised

Roman symbols. The classical Roman symbols corresponding to the sequence

MDCLXVI, whose rightmost element is meant to represent 1, the second rightmost

element 5, the third rightmost element 10, etc.

? if it is not an integer, the first *** is intended to represent a so-called generalised

Roman number, that is, a sequence of generalised Roman symbols that can be decoded

using the provided sequence of generalised Roman symbols similarly to the way Roman

numbers are represented.

If that is not the case, or if it is not possible to convert the first *** from Arabic to generalised

Roman or from generalised Roman to Arabic, then the program should print out:

Hey, ask me something that's not impossible to do!

and stop.

4

If the input is as expected and the conversion can be performed, then the program should indeed perform

the conversion, from Arabic to generalised Roman or from generalised Roman to Arabic, and print out the

result in the form:

Sure! It is ***

2.3 Third Kind of Input

In case the user inputs Please convert *** minimally, then *** should be a sequence

of (lowercase or uppercase) letters. The program will try and view *** as a generalised Roman

number with respect to some sequence of generalised Roman symbols. If that is not possible,

then the program should print out:

Hey, ask me something that's not impossible to do!

and stop.

Otherwise, the program should find the smallest integer that could be converted from ***,

viewed as some generalised Roman number, to Arabic, and output a message of the form

Sure! It is *** using ***

4. Hints

4.1 Explaining the following example of the third kind of input

(Please convert *** minimally):

$ python3 roman_arabic.py

How can I help you? Please convert ABCADDEFGF minimally

Sure! It is 49269 using BA_C_DEF_G

First, remember the two important Roman numeral rules below:

1. A Roman symbol is repeated three times but not more than that. However, the symbols V (5),

L (50) and D (500) are never repeated.

2. The Roman symbols V (5), L (50) and D (500) are never written to the left of a symbol of

greater value, i.e., V (5), L (50) and D (500) are never subtracted. The symbol I (1) can be

subtracted from V (5) and X (10) only. The symbol X can be subtracted from L (50) and C (100)

only.

Note also that "minimally" means we are looking for a generalised Roman symbols that can

convert the given numeral into a smallest integer number.

Let us start assigning Roman numeral values from the right-hand side such that the value is

minimum.

Starting with F, we can see it is repeated and we have to assign the minimum value to FGF in

order to assign the minimum value to F. From a number of various combinations, we know

that the only possible solution here is F=10 and G=1 (try out combinations of 1, 5, 10 here to

see why this is the right one). Thus FGF=19.

Let us move now to the next element, which is E. We also need to consider the element after

E in order to assign a smaller combination, if possible, in this case. The next element is D,

which is repeated and therefore cannot be less than E. Thus, we assign E the smallest number

not used yet, which is 50. Moving on to D, since it is repeated, it cannot be greater than the

next element A. Thus, we assign the smallest number not yet used which is 100 to D.

Till now, our number DDEFGF is resulting in 269 using DEF_G (value 5 not assigned).

The next element is A and it is repeated. To assign a value to A, we must assign a value so that

ABCA does not violate Roman numeral rules. That is, A < B and B > C. Because of AB (A and B

being next to each other), we cannot assign A as 500 (500 cannot be subtracted from any

number).

12

Let us say we assign 1000 to A. Then B can be either 5000 or 10000. B cannot be 5000 because

that would mean C can only be 500. Also, B cannot be 10000 as it would mean C should be

5000 or 500 (both are invalid assignments).

Let us try to assign 10000 to A (it cannot be assigned 5000 since it is repeated). B can be either

50000 or 100000. If B is 50000, C can be either 5000, 1000 or 500. C cannot be 5000 or 500

(since they be subtracted from any number). C can be 1000.

Consequently, the smallest we can come up with here is 10000 for A, 50000 for B, and 1000

for C, and ABCA = 50000 - 10000 + 10000 - 1000 = 49000.

Thus, the total becomes 49269 using BA_C_DEF_G (values 5, 500 and 5000 not assigned).
