Algorithms and Data Structures Assignment – Generalized Trees Introduction The file system on most modern operating systems is organized as a generalized tree structure. The nodes of the tree are regular files and subdirectories. The subdirectories provide hierarchical structure, as they can contain other subdirectories as well as regular files. For this assignment, write a Java program that recursively traverses the file system starting at a fully qualified subdirectory. The subdirectory must be provided as a command line parameter.

When processing begins, the first line of output is the fully qualified subdirectory. For each subdirectory encountered, get a list of the files in that subdirectory. For each entry in the list, if it is a regular file, output the file name and extension. Do not include the path name; just the file name and extension. If the file is a subdirectory, output just the subdirectory name; do not include the pathname that precedes the subdirectory name.

In either case, after outputting the name, recursively descend into subdirectory and continue. You may recognize this as a pre-order traversal. For each line of output, prefix the file or subdirectory name with indentation that provides a visual indication of the depth of the recursive descent. Students are responsible for · public FileTreeWalk(String pathname) · public String listAllFiles() · public String toString() class FileTreeWalk FileTreeWalk is a Java class used for traversing a file system. In addition to a constructor, the class provides two public methods for traversing the file system, and a public toString method for displaying the traversal results.

The public interface to the class follows: public FileTreeWalk (String pathname) The constructor takes a String parameter that specifies a pathname. The pathname is a starting point for the file system traversal. The parameter is either a fully qualified path name, or a relative pathname. Fully qualified pathnames start with an optional drive letter, or a slash. On other operating systems (e.g., Linux, Unix), a fully qualified pathname starts with a slash.

Relative pathnames start at the current working directory. In either case, the pathname parameter specifies where the file system traversal is supposed to begin. As FileTreeWalk traverses the file system, it adds file names and subdirectory names to a generalized tree structure that when finished will represent the current state of the file system from the starting point specified by the String parameter, pathname. public String listAllFiles () This method returns a string representation of the generalized tree of the file system starting at the pathname specified in and built by the constructor. Provided the argument to the constructor is the string, “C:\Users\BigJoe\Documentsâ€, the output might look like this: C:\Users\BigJoe\Documents FileTreeWalk Build Classes FileTreeWalk FileTreeWalk.class .netbeans_automatic_build .netbeans_update_resources nbproject private private.properties build-impl.xml henfiles.properties project.properties project.xml src filetreewalk FileTreeWalk.java test build.xml manifest.mf assignment03.docx Notice that the indentation reflects the position of the files within the files system hierarchy.

Do not store the indentation in the tree structure. Add it during the pre-order traversal of the tree. From the example, notice that subdirectory FileTreeWalk contains four subdirectories (Build, nbproject, src, and test), and two regular files (build.xml, and manifest.mf). Also notice that when a subdirectory is first encountered, it’s name is output before the files within it, making it a pre-order traversal. public String toString () This method returns a String representation of the file system traversal created by the constructor. It just returns the String value that listAllFiles()returns.

Additional Note Java 8 provides a class, java.nio.file.Files, that encapsulates all of the recursion needed to solve this assignment with no recursion in the calling code (code that you will write). Which is great. But this assignment is to help you better understand recursion. Do not use java.nio.file.Files for this assignment. If you do use it, you can pretty much count on receiving no credit for the assignment.

Prior to Java 8, the way you would approach this problem is to use java.io. File. Use this class and its methods to traverse the file system. An example of this method is provided on the canvas module. Do not include a public static void main method to your java class.

I will be using my own class for testing. 1- William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England on April 23rd, 1564. Shakespeare started learning about classical literature in school when he was 8 years old. He started a career acting and then moved onto playwriting and wrote lots of poetry. In this article I found about William Shakespeare it says that he was “born at the right time†because “the arts, in general, were flourishing†at that time and I think this describes his career because he was a very successful man and his career defiantly flourished also.

In 1613 Shakespeare’s brothers passed away and 3 years later in 1616 on his birthday, Shakespeare passed. He wrote many poems throughout the time he lived but I picked “Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day†and the last two lines of this poem stood out to me, it says, “So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee†(13-14) to me it means as long as there are people to read this poem it will live on and so will you, and I think this is really sweet and it's beautifully worded. 2-In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz†by Theodore Roethke, a small boy dances with his drunk father whose “breath could make a small boy dizzy†(Roethke 1-2). The poem can be interpreted many different ways, but is most commonly viewed as either a joyful memory of a son dancing with his father, oblivious to the fact that his father was drunk, or as a fearful memory of a father unaware, or very aware, that he was handling his son roughly and hurting him while they dance around.

As Bobby Fong puts it, “the elements of joy… are balanced against the elements of fear†(80). The narrator is likely an adult version of the child who, because he’s an adult, understood that his father was hardly present in that situation, and whether he felt fear or joy in the moment as a child remained unnoticed by his father who was likely too wrapped up in his own waltz. 3-In Sylvia Plath’s poem “Metaphors,†the speaker states “I’m a means, a stage, a cow in a calf./. . . Boarded the train there’s no getting off./†(7 and 9). This has implications of worthlessness outside of being useful to her baby, and that the speaker is stuck with her child and is anxious as to what comes next.

Many take what Plath writes and paint her as a caricature for what mental illness does to someone, and she’s even often depicted as “crazed†or spoken of in diagnostic terms. Reading through this it seems as though the speaker is depressed and cannot find her individuality now that she is with child.As one scholar argues, “Several critics have attempted to “diagnose†Sylvia Plath.. .Plath dealt with mental difference throughout her life; unfortunately, she has been canonized by many psychoanalytic critics as an “insane†woman writer, and these discourses have contributed to her commemoration as an angsty woman author who was “freed†of her suffering through her suicide.†(Rovito 319). 4-The poem "this is just to say" by William Carlos Williams seems to be an apology from Williams, to presumably his wife, for eating some plums that were in an ice box.

The reader knows its an apology thanks to the last stanza (9-12) which states "forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold". The poem is a rather simple straight forward one with not a lot to find under the surface, yet people still try to find deeper meanings within the words. Despite their efforts, it might just be that this poem is, in fact, just a simple apology. In an article written by Williams' own grandaughter she states "The story in our family goes that he had been out on an emergency call (probably delivering one of hundreds of babies), came home, checked the fridge and helped himself to some plums. Unlike most of us, he was considerate enough to write a note to his wife so that she wouldn't wonder what happened to those plums"(Sinclaire 1). which i think proves that the poem is simply an apology for eating some plums.

5- This Is Just To Say In William Carlos, William’s poem “ This is just to say†offers itself a note left by the poet to his beloved wife. The speaker states, “ and which you were probably saving for breakfast.†The writer assumes that his wife was saving the plums ‘for breakfast. Williams desires to have his poetry be embedded into reality, with strong images, and Even though the poet’s subject is straightforward with a short poem, this poem still has poetic devices and expression. One scholar argues that “ the poet has merely stolen the plums his wife was probably “saving for breakfast,†but as several of Williams critics have implied, the subtext of the poem of long half-confessed adulteries.â€(49) Williams’s poem is filled with desire as he apologizes for eating the plums, and he asks his wife for forgives as he engages in his craving.

6-In the poem “Metaphors†by Sylvia Plath, a series of metaphors and imagery takes the reader through the nine months of pregnancy through the eyes of a woman as she describes how she viewers herself. Karen Alkalay-Gut views the poem not only as describing pregnancy itself, but the monthly progression the body has when she says that “A line-by-line reading of the poem reveals the development of carefully chosen and arranged metaphors†(190). This analysis proved interesting to me as I had not initially come to that conclusion and it further supports the importance of the number nine throughout the poem. The images created are both common and obscure as they range from “An elephant†to “A melon strolling on two tendrils†(Plath 2, 3).

Then, instead of focusing on what happens to just the body physically during the pregnancy, the mental state and future is brought into question as the poem ends with “Boarded the train there’s no getting off†(Plath 9). This thought provoking line leaves the reader with what Alkalay-Gut describes as a feeling of “sheer helplessness†(191). Surname 2 Student’s name: University: Course: Date: Poetry I love thee is a poem that Elizabeth Barrett Browning authored. She was an optional poet that helped change the phase of poetry on the female gender way before feminism. How do I love thee is sonnet 43 adopted from “The Sonnets from the Portuguese (Spacey).†This book that contains various sonnets was published in 1850.

According to Spacey’s article, Elizabeth chose this article to showcase an impression that she had translated from the Portuguese. According to Spacey’s article, Elizabeth did this to avoid any controversies resulting from her work. This love sonnet was her dedication to her husband, Robert Browning, who was also a poet. Concerning the article being looked into by this paper related to Elizabeth’s poem, the first lie that has been adopted by the is unusual. Spacy makes this claim because he thinks it has been asked in a controversial manner (Spacey).

This is a perception that is with many scholars that come across the poem. He further claims that the poet has taken upon the challenge of explaining why she loved her lover. The first three lines of the poem are; “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height.

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sigh (Browning, 1-3) Spacey’s article has provided an in-depth analysis of the poem that scholars can use to gather more information related to the poem. It can help us understand the poem better. Works Cited Browning, E. Barrett, “How do I love thee?†The Sonnets From the Portuguese. 1850 Spacey, Andrew.

Introduction

In modern computing, file systems serve as the backbone for data organization and management. These file systems are often structured as generalized trees, allowing for efficient navigation through directories and files. A generalized tree structure can encapsulate both files and directories, providing a clear hierarchical organization. This assignment aims to implement a Java program that recursively traverses a given file directory starting from a specified fully qualified path. The program will output the names and extensions of regular files, along with the names of subdirectories, formatted to provide a visual indication of their depth in the tree structure.

Class Structure

The Java program is encapsulated in a class called `FileTreeWalk`. This class contains a constructor that initializes the traversal starting point, as well as methods to list all files and subdirectories and to represent the tree structure as a string.

Method Overview

1. Constructor: The constructor takes a string parameter representing the starting pathname.
2. listAllFiles(): This method recursively retrieves all file names and subdirectory names, formatting the output according to the depth in the tree.
3. toString(): This method outputs the contents collected by `listAllFiles()`.

Implementation

Here’s how the `FileTreeWalk` class can be implemented:
```java
import java.io.File;
public class FileTreeWalk {
private StringBuilder output; // To accumulate the output results
private String pathname; // Storing the path provided in the constructor
public FileTreeWalk(String pathname) {
this.pathname = pathname;
this.output = new StringBuilder();
}
public String listAllFiles() {
traverse(new File(pathname), 0); // Start traversal with the root directory, depth 0
return output.toString(); // Return the accumulated result
}
private void traverse(File file, int depth) {
// Check if the file exists and is a directory
if (file.exists() && file.isDirectory()) {
output.append(getIndentation(depth)).append(file.getName()).append("\n"); // Append dir name with indentation
File[] files = file.listFiles(); // Get list of files and directories
if (files != null) {
for (File f : files) {
if (f.isDirectory()) {
traverse(f, depth + 1); // Recursively traverse subdirectory
} else {
String filename = f.getName();
output.append(getIndentation(depth + 1)).append(filename).append("\n"); // Append file name with indentation
}
}
}
}
}
private String getIndentation(int depth) {
return " ".repeat(depth); // Use indentation based on depth for visual structure
}
public String toString() {
return listAllFiles(); // Directly map to the output of listAllFiles()
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Entry point for testing the implementation
if (args.length != 1) {
System.out.println("Usage: java FileTreeWalk ");
return;
}
FileTreeWalk ftw = new FileTreeWalk(args[0]);
System.out.println(ftw.listAllFiles());
}
}
```

Explanation of Code Structure

Constructor: `FileTreeWalk(String pathname)`

The constructor initializes the classname with the pathname provided, setting up the string builder to aggregate output.

Method: `listAllFiles()`

This method kicks off the traversal process by calling the helper method `traverse(File file, int depth)` on the root file/folder, initializing the depth at 0.

Recursive Method: `traverse(File file, int depth)`

The key functionality occurs in this method:
- It checks if the `File` object refers to a directory and whether the file exists.
- Upon encountering a directory, the directory name is appended to the output with appropriate indentation.
- For every entry in the directory, the method checks the type (file or directory). If it’s a file, the file name is appended; if it’s a directory, `traverse` is called again, incrementing the depth.

Method: `getIndentation(int depth)`

This helper function generates indentation based on the depth of the recursion, enhancing the legibility of the output.

Displaying the Output

When the program is executed, the structure of the directory tree will be printed to the console, reflecting both the organization of files and subdirectories.

Conclusion

This assignment successfully demonstrates the implementation of a generalized tree structure to traverse file systems in Java. By using recursion, we were able to gather and display file and directory information, following a pre-order traversal method. The program respects the hierarchy and provides user-friendly output, effectively visualizing the structure of the filesystem.
