CS2030S Lab 3: Simulation 3 Solution

Prerequisite:
• Completed Lab 2
• Caught up to Unit 25 of Lecture Notes
• Familiar with CS2030S Java style guide
Goal
This is a continuation of Lab 2. Lab 3 changes some of the requirements of Lab 2 and adds some new things to the world that we are simulating. The goal is to demonstrate that, when OO-principles are applied properly, we can adapt our code to changes in the requirement with less effort.
Lab 3 also involves writing your own generic classes.
Queueing at The Counters
Despite adding an entrance queue, the shop is still losing customers. With CNY coming, the shop decided to rearrange the layout and make some space for queues at the counters. With that, customers can now wait at individual counters.
In this lab, we will modify the simulation to add a counter queue to each counter. If all the counters are busy when a customer arrives, the customer will join a queue and wait. When a counter becomes available, the customer at the front of the queue will proceed to the counter for service. Each counter queue has a maximum queue length of L. If every counter queue has reached its maximum capacity of L, then an arriving customer has to wait at the entrance queue.
Just like Lab 2, the entrance queue has a maximum queue length of m. If there are already m customers waiting in the entrance queue, an arriving customer will be turned away.
With the addition of counters, there is a change to the customer behavior in choosing which counter to join:
• If more than one counter available, a customer will go to the counter with the smallest id (just like Lab 2)
• If none of the counters is available, then the customer will join the counter with the shortest queue. If there are two counters with the same queue length, we break ties with their id.
Building on Lab 2
You are required to build on top of your Lab 2 submission for this lab.
Assuming you have lab2-<username> and lab3-<username> under the same directory, and lab3-<username> is your current working directory, you can run
1 cp -i ..∕lab2-<username>∕*.java . 2 rm -i Lab2.java
to copy all your Java code over.
If you are still unfamiliar with Unix commands to navigate the le system and processing les, please review our Unix guide.
Skeleton for Lab 3
We provide ve les for Lab 3 - the main Lab3.java (which is simply Lab2.java renamed) - QueueTest.java to test your Queue<T> class, - ArrayTest.java to test your
Array<T> class, - CS2030STest.java , which is the CS2030S test library, and - Array.java , which is the skeleton le for Array<T> .
Except for Array.java , these les should not be modied for this lab.
Your Tasks
We suggest you solve this lab in the following order.
1. Make Queue a generic class
The class Queue given to you in Lab 2 stores its elements as Object references, and therefore is not type-safe. Now that you have learned about generics, you should update Queue to make it a generic class Queue<T> .
You are encouraged to test your Queue<T> in jshell yourself. A sample test sequence can be found under outputs∕QueueTest.out .
The le QueueTest.java helps to test your Queue<T> class (see "Running and Testing" section below).

2. Create a generic Array<T> class
The Array<T> class you build must support the following:
• Array<T> must support the min method, with the following descriptor:
T min()
min returns the minimum element (based on the order dened by the compareTo method
of the Comparable<T> interface).
• Array<T> supports a toString method. The code has been given to you in Array.java .
You are encouraged to test your Array<T> in jshell yourself. A sample test sequence can
be found under outputs∕ArrayTest.out .
The le ArrayTest.java helps to test your Array<T> class (see "Running and Testing" section below).

3. Make Your ServiceCounter Comparable to Itself
Your class that encapsulates the service counter must now implement the Comparable<T> interface so that it can compare with itself and it can be used as a type argument for Array<T> .
You should implement compareTo in such a way that counters.min() returns the counter that a customer should join (unless all the counter queues have reached maximum length).
4. Update Your Simulation
By incorporating Queue<T> , Array<T> , ServiceCounter , modify your simulation so that it implements the shop with counter queues as described above.
5. Other Changes Needed
We also need to make the following changes to the input and output of the program.
There is an additional input parameter, an integer L, indicating the maximum allowed length of the counter queue. This input parameter should be read immediately after reading the number of service counters and before the maximum allowed length of the entrance queue.
Now that we have two types of queues, if a customer joins the entrance queue, the customer along with the queue before joining should be printed as such:

The counter queue will be printed whenever we print a counter.
1 1.200: C2 joined counter queue (at S0 [ C1 ])
2 2.000: C0 service done (by S0 [ C1 C2 ])
Following CS2030S Style Guide
Like Lab 2, you should also make sure that your code follows the given Java style guide
Assumptions
We assume that no two events involving two different customers ever occur at the same time (except when a customer departs and another customer begins its service, or when a customer is done and another customer joins the counter queue from the entrance queue). As per all labs, we assume that the input is correctly formatted.
Compiling, Testing, and Debugging
Compilation

To check for style,

Running and Testing
Test Cases
A series of test cases Lab3.x.in and Lab3.x.out are provided. Test cases for x = 1 to 10 duplicate the corresponding test cases of Lab 2, with the input format updated to allow additional input of L (max counter queue length). We set L to 0 in all these test cases. After your update your simulation to add counter queues, your code should still work for the scenarios in Lab 2 (except for small differences in the input and output format).
Test case x = 11 to 13 are test cases without entrance queue (m = 0). The rest of the test cases test scenarios with both entrance and counter queues.
Grading
This lab is worth 16 marks and contributes 4% to your nal grade. The marking scheme is as follows:
• Queue<T> : 1 mark
• Array<T> : 3 marks
• Comparable counters: 1 mark
• Using Queue, Array, counters correctly in simulation: 2 marks
• Style: 2 marks
• Correctness: 3 marks
• OO Design: 4 marks
Note that the style marks is conditioned on evidence of efforts in solving Lab 3. Simply resubmitting your Lab 2 solution as Lab 3 does not automatically earn you 2 style marks.
Code that cannot be compiled will receive 0.
Penalty for Unnecessary Raw Types and Abuse of @SuppressWarnings
We penalize heavily (-1 marks per instance) for each unnecessary use of raw types and for each abuse of @SuppressWarnings .
For Lab 3, you are allowed at most one instance of raw type in the constructor of
Array<T> and one use of @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") in the smallest scope, immediately above the use of raw type.
