Programming Assignment #5: Graph Solution to the Water Container Problem

What is the assignment?

What to hand in?

  • One (and only one) *.py file should be handed in. All your checks, unit tests should be inside of this file.
  • The name of the function in your program should be findWaterContainerPath, and it should except three integer arguments. 
  • Note that your program should be able to run at the console/terminal (e.g. $ python your_file.py). If it does not, then the execution portion of the assignment will be 0. 

What needs to be done?

  • Ultimately, all that needs to be done is to have a function, named findWaterContainerPath, return a list of states that represents a solution to the water container problem. 
  • Note that each state can be thought of a vertex on a graph, and the transitions between the states can be thought of as the edges. 
  • To successfully implement the function you will need to figure out what all of the possible state transitions (i.e. edges). You’ll then perform a BFS across all of these states; adding a state to your final solution path when it is used (and being sure to not add, or to remove, states that are not on the solution path).

Be careful… 

  • As with all assignments, do not copy code from the internet, and do not share/copy code directly from others. There are lots of poor implementations of this problem online, so even if you look at some to better understand the problem, be sure that you implement your own so that you can be confident that you understand what each step is doing. 
  • Remember, copying/sharing code is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. If you are found to have been doing this, then the grade for this assignment may be a zero, and a report with the Dean of Students may be filed. 

Getting Started

  • Use the following code to get started if you like. If, however, you decide not to, be sure that you still name your function “findWaterContainerPath”, and that it accepts the three given arguments. 
import math

import unittest



def findWaterContainerPath(a, b, c):

    """ DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS FUNCTION """

    starting_state = (0, 0)

    final_path = list()

    final_path.append(starting_state)



    """ THIS IS WHERE THE REAL WORK FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE """



    return final_path



""" ADD ANY OTHER (HELPER) FUNCTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED HERE """





class TestWaterContainerGraphSearch(unittest.TestCase):



    def testFindWaterContainerPath(self):

        """ INSERT DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THIS TEST IS CHECKING """

        """ IMPLEMENT YOUR FIRST TEST HERE """

        pass



    """ ADD MORE TESTS TO CHECK YOUR FUNCTIONS WORKS FOR OTHER VALUES """





def main():

    capacity_a = input("Enter the capacity of container A: ")

    capacity_b = input("Enter the capacity of container B: ")

    goal_amount = input("Enter the goal quantity: ")



    # ADD SOME TYPE/VALUE CHECKING FOR THE INPUTS (OR INSIDE YOUR FUNCTION)



    if int(goal_amount) % math.gcd(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b)) == 0:

        path = findWaterContainerPath(int(capacity_a), int(capacity_b), int(goal_amount))

    else:

        print("No solution for containers with these sizes and with this final goal amount")



    print(path)





# unittest_main() - run all of TestWaterContainerGraphSearch's methods (i.e. test cases)

def unittest_main():

    unittest.main()



# evaluates to true if run as standalone program

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

    unittest_main()

Good luck!

300 words discussion

One of the hardest tasks you may face in Web Analytics is to convince persons outside of your team or department of the importance of the reports and KPI’s that tell the story of how well or bad you are doing with your website. Communicating your information effectively to Management and the Board of Directors, whom we will call the stakeholders, can be a daunting task, they just do not have the time to understand the details of the reports you offer. Therefore, to communicate your information, you will have to learn how to summarize and format your reports in abridged versions.

Please explain the following:
300 Words Minimum 

Explain what KPIs are they designed to accomplish.
Describe how to prepare a KPI.
Explain how you would present your KPI to the Stakeholders, in brief.
