CMPE 261: Large Scale Programming

Problem Solving 8
Anıl Demirel
December 9, 2024

Instructions
This worksheet contains 8 problems covering topics discussed in Week 10 of
CMPE 261. You are encouraged to solve these problems independently. Use
Python, Java, or C++ as specified in each problem. Submit your solutions
as a single compressed folder containing the source code for each problem.

Problem 1: Memory Management Compari-


son
Write a program to compare memory management in Python, Java, and
C++:

• Allocate memory dynamically for a list (or array) of integers of size 10.

• Initialize the list with values from 1 to 10.

• Print the contents of the list and free the memory (where applicable).

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Sample Output (Python):

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Problem 2: String Concatenation Performance


Write a program to measure the time taken to concatenate strings in a loop:

1
• Concatenate 100,000 strings using a naive approach.

• Optimize the code using efficient methods (StringBuilder in Java,


std::stringstream in C++, and join in Python).

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Output: Report execution time for both naive and optimized approaches.

Problem 3: Cross-Platform Independence


Demonstrate platform independence by writing a simple calculator program
that:

• Accepts two numbers and an operator (+, -, *, /) as input.

• Outputs the result of the operation.

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Input Example:

Enter first number: 10


Enter operator (+, -, *, /): *
Enter second number: 5

Output Example:

Result: 50

Problem 4: Matrix Multiplication (Large Data


Processing)
Implement a program that performs matrix multiplication for two 100x100
matrices filled with random values. Compare execution times in Python,
Java, and C++.
Instructions:

• Generate two matrices of size 100x100 with random values.

• Multiply the matrices and display the execution time.

Output: Report the execution time for each language.

2
Problem 5: Error Handling
Write a program that demonstrates error handling:

• Ask the user to input a number.

• Divide 100 by the input number.

• Handle division by zero or invalid inputs gracefully.

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Sample Output:

Enter a number: 0
Error: Division by zero is not allowed.

Problem 6: Threading and Concurrency


Write a program to demonstrate threading and concurrency:

• Create 3 threads/tasks, each printing numbers from 1 to 10.

• Ensure threads run concurrently.

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Output Example:

Thread 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Thread 2: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Thread 3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Problem 7: Data Analysis


Write a Python program to analyze COVID-19 data:

• Use pandas to load and filter data from a CSV file.

• Calculate and display the top 5 countries with the highest cases per
million.

• Plot a bar chart showing these values.

Required Library: pandas, matplotlib


Output: A bar chart and the top 5 countries with their case counts.

3
Problem 8: OOP Features Comparison
Write a program demonstrating polymorphism:

• Create a base class Shape with a method getArea().

• Derive two classes Rectangle and Circle.

• Calculate and display the area for objects of both derived classes.

Languages Required: Python, Java, and C++


Sample Output:

Rectangle Area: 20
Circle Area: 28.27
