Assignment 2: An Object-oriented Dynamic String Array
Your task is to use object-oriented programming to implement a vector-like class called str_vec . One of it’s major features is that it completely (and correctly!) manages its own memory, similar to a vector
Getting Started
Put all your code for this assignment into a2.cpp. Implement all the requested methods and functions using the exact name and parameters. You can add other helper functions/methods if you need them.
Write a test function to automatically test each major method/function to ensure it is correct. Use either if- statements or assertions for the testing. Each test function should have approximately 5 tests (more complex/input code should probably have more).
Implement each of the following methods and functions. Use const , public , and private whenever possible.
1. Implement a default constructor for str_vec() that creates a new str_vec of size 0 and capacity 10.
The capacity of str_vec is the size of its underlying array. The size is the number of items in the str_vec from the point of view of the user.
2. Implementadestructor~str_vec()thatdeletesthedynamicmemoryusedbythestr_vec. Be sure your program has no memory leaks by testing it with valgrind !
3. Implement a constructor str_vec(n, s) that creates a new str_vec of size n where each element is a copy of the string s . The capacity should be at least n . If n is less than 1, use cmpt::error to throw a helpful error message.
4. Implement a copy constructor str_vec(other) that creates a new str_vec that is a copy of the str_vec other.
str_vec arr;
// arr is an empty str_vec of size 0 and capacity 10
str_vec arr(5, “cat”);
// arr is str_vec of size 5, each entry containing the string “cat”
str_vec a(5, “
str_vec b(a);
// b is a str_vec of size 5 with each entry equal to the string “
The capacity of b should be at least the size of a .
Both a and b should have their own underlying array.
5. Implement an array constructor str_vec(arr, n) that creates a new str_vec that is a copy of the
array of strings named arr , with size n . The type of arr in the constructor is const char*[] . Example:
The passed-in array should not be changed in any way. a should have its own copy of arr . 6. Implementthesegetters:
size() and length() : both return the number of strings in the str_vec . Two methods are provided for returning the size as a convenience: length() is an alias for size() .
capacity() : returns the capacity of the str_vec , i.e. the size of the underlying array.
pct_used() : returns the percentage (from 0.0 to 1.0) of the underlying array that is in use, i.e. the size divided by the capacity.
Make sure that these are all const methods! Example:
Write three test functions, one for each method. 7. Implementthesenon-mutatingmethods:
to_str() : returns a string representation of the str_vec . Each string should be printed in “- quotes, and wrapped in {}-braces as shown in the example below.
print() : a void method that prints the string representation of the str_vec to cout without a \n at the end.
println() : a void method that does the same thing as print() , but also prints a \n at the
Make sure these are all const ! Example:
const char* arr[] = {“red”, “white”, “yellow”};
str_vec a(arr, 3); // 3 is the length of arr
// a is a str_vec of size 3 with entires “red”, “white”, “yellow”
str_vec empty;
cout << empty.size() << ‘ ‘ // 0
<< empty.capacity() << ‘ ‘ // 10
<< empty.pct_used() << ‘\n’; // 0

str_vec arr(3, “cat”);
string s = arr.to_str(); // s is the string {“cat”, “cat”, “cat”}
arr.print(); // prints {“cat”, “cat”, “cat”} on cout (no \n at end)
arr.println(); // prints {“cat”, “cat”, “cat”} on cout (\n at end)
For this question you only need to make a test function for to_str() . For this assignment, it’s okay if you check the results of print and println manually.
8. Implementthesemethods:
get(i) is a getter that returns the string at index location i of the str_vec . Just as with arrays, the first index location is 0. Make sure this is const !
set(i, s) is a setter that sets index location i to be a copy of string s .
Both methods should do bounds checking: use cmpt::error to throw a helpful error message if the
passed-in index i is less than 0, or greater than size() – 1 . Example:
str_vec arr(3, “cat”);
arr.set(1, “dog”); // arr is now {“cat”, “dog”, “cat”}
string s1 = arr.get(1); // s1 is “dog”
string s2 = arr.get(2); // s2 is “cat”
Write test functions for both set and get . 9. Implementthesemutatingmethods:
append(s) is a void method that adds the string s to the right end (the back) of the str_vec , increasing the size by 1.
append(sv) is a void method that appends all the strings in the str_vec sv to the right end (the back) of the str_vec , increasing the size by the size of sv .
For both methods, the underlying capacity should only be increased if necessary. When the capacity is increased, it should be doubled.
str_vec arr;
arr.append(“apple”);
arr.append(“orange”);
str_vec fruit;
fruit.append(“pear”);
fruit.append(“banana”);
arr.append(fruit);
arr.append(arr);
// {“apple”}
// {“apple”, “orange”}
// {“pear”}
// {“pear”, “banana”}
// {“apple”, “orange”, “pear”, “banana”}
// {“apple”, “orange”, “pear”, “banana”,
// “apple”, “orange”, “pear”, “banana”}
Write two test functions, once for each version of append .
10. Implement the void mutating method capitalize_all() that capitalizes all the strings in str_vec that can be capitalized. A string can be capitalized if it is not empty, and the first character is one of the 25 lowercase letters a to z. Strings that can’t be capitalized are left unchanged.
For example, if the str_vec a is {“hat”, ” dog”, “house boat”, “Wall”} , then after calling a.capitalize_all() it will be {“Hat”, ” dog”, “House boat”, “Wall”} .
This is a mutating method, so the str_vec itself should be changed (no copies made).
11. Implement the void mutating method remove_first(const string& s) that removes the first occurrence of s in the str_vec . All the strings to the right are moved left one position to fill in the gap, and the size of the str_vec is decreased by 1. If s is not in the str_vec , then the str_vec is unchanged.
For example, if str_vec a is {“hat”, “shoe”, “hat”} , then after calling a.remove_first(“hat”) , it will be {“shoe”, “hat”} .
12. Implement the void mutating method keep_all_starts_with(char c) that keeps only strings that start with c , and removes any others.
For example, if the str_vec a is {“hat”, “book”, “horse”, “house”, “Hot!”} , then after calling a.keep_all_starts_with(‘h’) it will be {“hat”, “horse”, “house”} .
The order of the strings after calling keep_all_starts_with should be the same as before calling it. If none of the strings start with c , or the str_vec is empty, then then the str_vec is empty after
calling keep_all_starts_with .
13. Implement these mutating methods:
clear() is a void method that removes all elements from the str_vec so its size is 0. Make this method as efficient as possible. The capacity can stay the same.
squish() is a void method that will, if necessary, re-size the underlying array so that the size and capacity are the same. The elements in the array are the same (and in the same order) after squishing as before.
str_vec arr; // {}, size 0, capacity 10
arr.append(“a”); // {“a”}, size 1, capacity 10
arr.append(“b”); // {“a”, “b”}, size 2, capacity 10
arr.squish(); // {“a”, “b”}, size 2, capacity 2
arr.clear(); // {}, size 0, capacity 2
Write test functions for both squish and clear . 14. Implement these functions (not methods!):
operator==(a, b) is a bool function that returns true if the str_vec a and the str_vec b have the same elements in the same order, and false otherwise
operator!=(a, b) is a bool function that returns true if the str_vec a and the str_vec b don’t have the same elements in the same order, and false otherwise
str_vec a(3, “cat”);
str_vec b(3, “cat”);
if (a == b) cout << “same\n”; // prints “same”
if (a != b) cout << “different\n”; // prints nothing
a.set(0, “feline”);
if (a == b) cout << “same\n”; // prints nothing
if (a != b) cout << “different\n”; // prints “different”
Write test functions for both operator== and operator!= .
15. Implement a mutating method sort() that re-arranges the elements of a str_vec into alphabetical
For example:
str_vec a;
a.append(“hat”);
a.append(“dog”);
a.append(“cat”);
a.append(“house”);
cout << a.to_str() // {“hat”, “dog”, “cat”, “house”}
cout << a.to_str() // {“cat”, “dog”, “hat”, “house”}
This is a mutating method, so the str_vec itself should be changed (no copies made).

Submit Your Work
Please put all your code into a2.cpp, and submit it on Canvas. Implement all the methods and functions
exactly as described, otherwise the marking software will probably give you 0!
Submit only a2.cpp, and no other files. The marker will use the standard makefile to compile it, and a copy
of cmpt_error.h will be in the same folder as a2.cpp when it’s tested. Basic Requirements
Before we give your program any marks, it must meet the following basic requirements:
It must compile on Ubuntu Linux using the standard course makefile:
If your program fails to compile, your mark for this assignment will be 0.
A copy of cmpt_error.h will be in the same folder as a2.cpp when it’s compiled, so your program can
use cmpt::error if necessary.
It must have no memory leaks or memory errors, according to valgrind , e.g.:
A program is considered to have no memory error if:
In the LEAK SUMMARY , definitely lost , indirectly lost , and possibly lost must all be 0. The ERROR SUMMARY reports 0 errors.
It is usually okay if still reachable reports a non- zero number of bytes.
You must include the large comment section with student info and the statement of originality. If your submitted file does not have this, then we will assume your work is not original and it will not be marked.
If your program meets all these basic requirements, then it will graded using the marking scheme on Canvas.
In a2.cpp, there is the commented-out function austenTest() that you may choose to use to help test your class when it’s done. You don’t need to use it, and you can change it if you like.
Marking Scheme
g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wfatal-errors -Wno-sign-compare -Wnon-
virtual-dtor -g a2.cpp -o a2

// … lots of output …
Overall source code readability: 5 marks
All code is sensibly and consistently indented, and all lines are 100 characters in length, or less. Whitespace is used to group related pieces of a code to make it easier for humans to read. All whitespace should have a purpose.
Variable and function names are self-descriptive.
Appropriate features of C++ are used, as discussed in class and in the notes. Note If you use a feature that we haven’t discussed in class, you must explain it in a comment, even if you think it’s obvious. Comments are used when needed to explain chunks of code whose purpose is not obvious from the code itself. There should be no commented-out code from previous versions.
Overall source code performance and memory usage: 2 marks
No unnecessary work is done. No unnecessary memory is used.
Source code correctness
To get full marks, your functions must pass all the test cases the marker uses for that question. The marker may use test cases not given in the assignment.
Question 1-15, 2 marks each. 1 mark for the correct method/function, and 1 mark for a good testing function for that method/function.
A few of the questions have more than one function/method, and you should write a test function for each.
Deductions
-1 mark (at least) if your file does not have the correct name, or you submit it in the incorrect format. up to -3 marks if you do not include your full name, email, and SFU ID in the header of your file.
a score of 0 if you don’t include the “statement of originality in the header of your file.
a score of 0 if you accidentally submit a “wrong” non-working file, and then after the due date submit the “right” file. If you can provide evidence that you finished the assignment on time, then it may be marked (and probably with a late penalty).
