Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

This repository contains C++ implementations of common data structures and algorithms completed as part of the ECE 250 course at the University of Waterloo.

Contents

Project 1

Implementation of a simple calculator using a linked list data structure. The program consists of two major classes - VarDataNode and CalcLinkedList.

• VarDataNode.cpp/.hpp: Node class to store variable values
• CalcLinkedList.cpp/.hpp: Linked list class to store operations
• main.cpp: Calculator program driver

Project 2

Implementation of a hashed page table using separate chaining and open addressing. The page table stores Process objects and maps virtual page numbers to physical frame numbers.

• HashPageTable.cpp/.hpp: Page table class
• SeparateChainedTable.cpp/.hpp: Separate chaining implementation
• OpenAddressedTable.cpp/.hpp: Open addressing implementation
• Process.cpp/.hpp: Process class
• main.cpp: Driver to test page table

Project 3

Implementation of a prefix tree (trie) to store and search for words. The Trie class contains nested Node and Iterator classes.

• Trie.cpp/.hpp: Trie class
• main.cpp: Driver to test trie functions

Project 4

Implementation of Prim's algorithm to find minimum spanning tree of a graph. Uses a priority queue to store graph edges.

• PowerGridGraph.cpp/.hpp: Graph representation
• EdgesPriorityQueue.cpp/.hpp: Priority queue
• main.cpp: Driver to test algorithm

Building and Running

Each project includes a Makefile to compile the code. Use make to build and ./a.out to run.

Documentation

The LaTeX documentation provides additional details on the class structures and algorithms.

The UML diagrams were created with PlantUML and can be re-generated from the included .puml files.

Testing

The projects were developed using test cases provided by the course staff. See the individual project readmes for details on running tests.
