项目安排与提交

本项目总分为20分。其中17分用于最终代码的正确性,1分用于在检查点截止日期前提交第一阶段,2分用于代码结构与风格。

你需要提交以下文件:

  • cats.py

你无需修改或提交其他文件即可完成本项目。提交项目时,请运行以下命令:

python3 ok --submit

你可以在 Ok dashboard 上查看你的提交记录。

对于我们要求你完成的函数,可能会提供一些初始代码。如果你不想使用这些代码,可以删除并从头开始编写。你也可以根据需要添加新的函数定义。

但请不要修改其他函数。这样做可能导致你的代码无法通过自动评分测试。同时,请不要更改任何函数签名(名称、参数顺序或参数数量)。

在整个项目过程中,你应该经常测试代码的正确性。经常测试有助于快速定位问题,但也不要测试过于频繁,要留出时间思考问题。

我们为你提供了一个名为 ok 的自动评分器,帮助你测试代码并跟踪进度。第一次运行自动评分器时,你会被要求使用你的 Ok 账户通过网页登录,请按要求操作。每次运行 ok 时,它都会将你的工作和进度备份到我们的服务器。

ok 的主要用途是测试你的实现。

我们建议你在完成每一个问题后就提交一次。只有你最后一次提交的内容会被评分。这样也方便我们为你的代码多做备份,以防你遇到提交问题。 如果你忘记提交,系统会自动将你最后一次备份转为正式提交。

如果你不希望我们记录你的作业备份或进度信息,可以运行

python3 ok --local
使用此选项时,任何信息都不会发送到课程服务器。 如果你想以交互方式测试你的代码,可以运行
 python3 ok -q [问题编号] -i 
将对应的问题编号(如 01)填入即可。此命令会运行该问题的测试,直到遇到第一个未通过的测试,然后你可以在交互环境中测试自己编写的函数。

你还可以在 OK 中使用调试打印功能,只需写下

 print("DEBUG:", x) 
这样会在终端输出调试信息,并且不会因为多余输出导致 OK 测试失败。

Phase 1: Typing

Phase 1 Hint Video

This video provides some helpful direction for tackling the problems on this phase of CATS.

Problem 1 (1 pt)

Implement choose, which selects which paragraph the user will type. It takes a list of paragraphs (strings), a select function that returns True for paragraphs that can be selected, and a non-negative index k. The choose function return's the kth paragraph for which select returns True. If no such paragraph exists (because k is too large), then choose returns the empty string.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 01 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 01

Problem 2 (2 pt)

Implement about, which takes a list of topic words. It returns a function which takes a paragraph and returns a boolean indicating whether that paragraph contains any of the words in topic. The returned function can be passed to choose as the select argument.

To make this comparison accurately, you will need to ignore case (that is, assume that uppercase and lowercase letters don't change what word it is) and punctuation in the paragraph.

Assume that all words in the topic list are already lowercased and do not contain punctuation.

Hint: You may use the string utility functions in utils.py.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 02 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 02

Problem 3 (1 pt)

Implement accuracy, which takes a typed paragraph and a reference paragraph. It returns the percentage of words in typed that exactly match the corresponding words in reference. Case and punctuation must match as well.

A word in this context is any sequence of characters separated from other words by whitespace, so treat "dog;" as all one word.

If a typed word has no corresponding word in the reference because typed is longer than reference, then the extra words in typed are all incorrect.

If typed is empty, then the accuracy is zero.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 03 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 03

Problem 4 (1 pt)

Implement wpm, which computes the words per minute, a measure of typing speed, given a string typed and the amount of elapsed time in seconds. Despite its name, words per minute is not based on the number of words typed, but instead the number of characters, so that a typing test is not biased by the length of words. The formula for words per minute is the ratio of the number of characters (including spaces) typed divided by 5 (a typical word length) to the elapsed time in minutes.

For example, the string "I am glad!" contains three words and ten characters (not including the quotation marks). The words per minute calculation uses 2 as the number of words typed (because 10 / 5 = 2). If someone typed this string in 30 seconds (half a minute), their speed would be 4 words per minute.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 04 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 04

Time to test your typing speed! You can use the command line to test your typing speed on paragraphs about a particular topic. For example, the command below will load paragraphs about cats or kittens. See the run_typing_test function for the implementation if you're curious (but it is defined for you).

python3 cats.py -t cats kittens

You can try out the web-based graphical user interface (GUI) using the following command.

python3 gui.py

To submit your Phase 1 checkpoint type:

python3 ok --submit

You can submit again once you've finished the whole project, and we will score only your latest submission, but please submit at least once before the checkpoint deadline (after finishing at least the Phase 1 questions) to receive credit for the checkpoint.

Phase 2: Autocorrect

In the web-based GUI, there is an autocorrect button, but right now it doesn't do anything. Let's implement automatic correction of typos. Whenever the user presses the space bar, if the last word they typed doesn't match a word in the dictionary but is close to one, then that similar word will be substituted for what they typed.

Phase 2 Hint Video

This video provides some helpful direction for tackling the problems on this phase of CATS.

Problem 5 (2 pt)

Implement autocorrect, which takes a user_word, a list of all valid_words, a diff_function, and a limit.

If the user_word is contained inside the valid_words list, autocorrect returns that word. Otherwise, autocorrect returns the word from valid_words that has the lowest difference from the provided user_word based on the diff_function. However, if the lowest difference between user_word and any of the valid_words is greater than limit, then user_word is returned instead.

A diff function takes in three arguments. The first two arguments are the two strings to be compared (the user_word and a word from valid_words), and the third argument is the limit. The output of the diff function, which is a number, represents the amount of difference between the two strings.

Here is an example of a diff function that computes the minimum of 1 + limit and the difference in length between the two input strings:

>>> def length_diff(w1, w2, limit):
...     return min(limit + 1, abs(len(w2) - len(w1)))
>>> length_diff('mellow', 'cello', 10)
1
>>> length_diff('hippo', 'hippopotamus', 5)
6

Assume that user_word and all elements of valid_words are lowercase and have no punctuation.

Important: if multiple strings have the same lowest difference according to the diff_function, autocorrect should return the string that appears first in valid_words.

Hint: Try using max or min with the optional key argument.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 05 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 05

Problem 6 (2 pts)

Implement shifty_shifts, which is a diff function that takes two strings. It returns the minimum number of characters that must be changed in the start word in order to transform it into the goal word. If the strings are not of equal length, the difference in lengths is added to the total.

Important: You may not use while or for statements in your implementation. Use recursion.

Here are some examples:

>>> big_limit = 10
>>> shifty_shifts("nice", "rice", big_limit)    # Substitute: n -> r
1
>>> shifty_shifts("range", "rungs", big_limit)  # Substitute: a -> u, e -> s
2
>>> shifty_shifts("pill", "pillage", big_limit) # Don't substitute anything, length difference of 3.
3
>>> shifty_shifts("roses", "arose", big_limit)  # Substitute: r -> a, o -> r, s -> o, e -> s, s -> e
5
>>> shifty_shifts("rose", "hello", big_limit)   # Substitute: r->h, o->e, s->l, e->l, length difference of 1.
5

If the number of characters that must change is greater than limit, then shifty_shifts should return any number larger than limit and should minimize the amount of computation needed to do so.

These two calls to shifty_shifts should take about the same amount of time to evaluate:

>>> limit = 4
>>> shifty_shifts("roses", "arose", limit) > limit
True
>>> shifty_shifts("rosesabcdefghijklm", "arosenopqrstuvwxyz", limit) > limit
True

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 06 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 06

Try turning on autocorrect in the GUI. Does it help you type faster? Are the corrections accurate? You should notice that inserting a letter or leaving one out near the beginning of a word is not handled well by this diff function. Let's fix that!

Problem 7 (3 pt)

Implement pawssible_patches, which is a diff function that returns the minimum number of edit operations needed to transform the start word into the goal word.

There are three kinds of edit operations:

  1. Add a letter to start,
  2. Remove a letter from start,
  3. Substitute a letter in start for another.

Each edit operation contributes 1 to the difference between two words.

>>> big_limit = 10
>>> pawssible_patches("cats", "scat", big_limit)       # cats -> scats -> scat
2
>>> pawssible_patches("purng", "purring", big_limit)   # purng -> purrng -> purring
2
>>> pawssible_patches("ckiteus", "kittens", big_limit) # ckiteus -> kiteus -> kitteus -> kittens
3

We have provided a template of an implementation in cats.py. This is a recursive function with three recursive calls. One of these recursive calls will be similar to the recursive call in shifty_shifts.

You may modify the template however you want or delete it entirely.

If the number of edits required is greater than limit, then pawssible_patches should return any number larger than limit and should minimize the amount of computation needed to do so.

These two calls to pawssible_patches should take about the same amount of time to evaluate:

>>> limit = 2
>>> pawssible_patches("ckiteus", "kittens", limit) > limit
True
>>> pawssible_patches("ckiteusabcdefghijklm", "kittensnopqrstuvwxyz", limit) > limit
True

There are no unlock cases for this problem. Make sure you understand the above test cases!

Test your implementation before proceeding:

python3 ok -q 07

Try typing again. Are the corrections more accurate?

python3 gui.py

Extensions: You may optionally design your own diff function called final_diff. Here are some ideas for making even more accurate corrections:

  • Take into account which additions and deletions are more likely than others. For example, it's much more likely that you'll accidentally leave out a letter if it appears twice in a row.
  • Treat two adjacent letters that have swapped positions as one change, not two.
  • Try to incorporate common misspellings

Phase 3: Multiplayer

Typing is more fun with friends! You'll now implement multiplayer functionality, so that when you run gui.py on your computer, it connects to the course server at cats.cs61a.org and looks for someone else to race against.

To race against a friend, 5 different programs will be running:

  • Your GUI, which is a program that handles all the text coloring and display in your web browser.
  • Your gui.py, which is a web server that communicates with your GUI using the code you wrote in cats.py.
  • Your opponent's gui.py.
  • Your opponent's GUI.
  • The CS 61A multiplayer server, which matches players together and passes messages around.

When you type, your GUI sends what you have typed to your gui.py server, which computes how much progress you have made and returns a progress update. It also sends a progress update to the multiplayer server, so that your opponent's GUI can display it.

Meanwhile, your GUI display is always trying to keep current by asking for progress updates from gui.py, which in turn requests that info from the multiplayer server.

Each player has an id number that is used by the server to track typing progress.

Phase 3 Hint Video

This video provides some helpful direction for tackling the problems on this phase of CATS.

Problem 8 (2 pt)

Implement report_progress, which is called every time the user finishes typing a word. It takes a list of the words typed, a list of the words in the prompt, the user's user_id, and a send function that is used to send a progress report to the multiplayer server. Note that there will never be more words in typed than in prompt.

Your progress is a ratio of the words in the prompt that you have typed correctly, up to the first incorrect word, divided by the number of prompt words. For example, this example has a progress of 0.25:

report_progress(["Hello", "ths", "is"], ["Hello", "this", "is", "wrong"], ...)

Your report_progress function should return this number. Before that, it should send a message to the multiplayer server that is a two-element dictionary containing the keys 'id' and 'progress'. The user_id is passed into report_progress from the GUI. The progress is the fraction you compute. Call send on this dictionary to send it to the multiplayer server.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 08 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 08

Problem 9 (1 pt)

Implement time_per_word, which takes in times_per_player, a list of lists for each player with timestamps indicating when each player finished typing each word. It also takes in a list words. It returns a game with the given information.

A game is a data abstraction that has a list of words and times. The times are stored as a list of lists of how long it took each player to type each word. times[i][j] indicates how long it took player i to type word j.

Timestamps are cumulative and always increasing, while the values in time are differences between consecutive timestamps. For example, if times_per_player = [[1, 3, 5], [2, 5, 6]], the corresponding time attribute of the game would be [[2, 2], [3, 1]] ((3-1), (5-3) and (5-2), (6-5)). Note that the first value of each list within times_per_player represents the initial starting time for each player.

Be sure to use the game constructor when returning a game, rather than assuming a particular data format. Read the definitions for the game constructor and selectors in cats.py to learn more about how the data abstraction is implemented.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 09 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 09

Problem 10 (2 pt)

Implement fastest_words, which returns which words each player typed fastest. This function is called once both players have finished typing. It takes in a game.

The game argument is a game data abstraction, like the one returned in Problem 9. You can access words in the game with selectors word_at, which takes in a game and the word_index (an integer). You can access the time it took any player to type any word using time.

The fastest_words function returns a list of lists of words, one list for each player, and within each list the words they typed the fastest (against all the other players). In the case of a tie, consider the earliest player in the list (the smallest player index) to be the one who typed it the fastest.

Be sure to use the accessor functions for the game data abstraction, rather than assuming a particular data format.

Before writing any code, unlock the tests to verify your understanding of the question.

python3 ok -q 10 -u

Once you are done unlocking, begin implementing your solution. You can check your correctness with:

python3 ok -q 10

Congratulations! Now you can play against other students in the course. Set enable_multiplayer to True near the bottom of cats.py and type swiftly!

python3 gui.py

At this point, run the entire autograder to see if there are any tests that don't pass.

python3 ok

Once you are satisfied, submit to Ok to complete the project.

python3 ok --submit

If you have a partner, make sure to add them to the submission on okpy.org.

Check to make sure that you did all the problems by running
