The objective of this lab is to solve problems using the Stack ADT
Q1. Write a program that uses the Stack implementation given to you
in Stack.py to simulate navigation in a web browser. Every web
browser has both a back and a forward button which allows the user to
navigate to previously seen web pages.
Your task is to implement this functionality using two Stack objects
called forward_stack and back_stack. The forward_stack and
back_stack should be used to store and retrieve the urls as the user
navigates the web.
The interaction with your program will be a sequence of commands,
either “>”, “<", "=", or "x". The ">” and “<" commands will be used to indicate forward and back, respectively. The "=" command is used to enter a new url web page. If the user enters the "=", the computer would expect a url address. Finally, if the user enters "x", the program closes. You can assume the web addresses are always valid. • You will not actually have to do any web navigation. You will simply be keeping track of the current page by outputting the address of the current page between "[" and "]". • There are a few situations you should take care to handle. • First, if a user enters "<" or ">” without there being a previous or
next page to go to, you should output a corresponding error
message (as shown in the sample output below) but allow the
user to continue browsing.
• Secondly, if a user enters “<" and then "=" and then enters a new web address, the user's previous browsing history in the ">”
direction should be erased.
• For example, if a user is on “www.google.com”, enters “<", and then enters "=" and then “www.yahoo.com", the history of visiting "www.google.com" should be lost. This means that if the user enters ">“, this should generate an error message and not
“www.google.com”. This behavior can also be seen below in the
sample data. You can also test an actual web browser (specifically
Firefox or Chrome) if you feel there is other ambiguity. Also, keep
in mind that navigation should start with a home page which we
will set as “www.cs.ualberta.ca”.
• The interaction should start with the current page
being www.cs.ualberta.ca.
Q2. Write a program that uses the Stack implementation given to you
in Stack.py to check if there is a solution to a maze or not. If there is a
solution, your program shows the message Goal is reached, if there is
no solution your program shows the message Goal is Unreachable.
A simple maze implementation is given to you in maze.py.
Hint: You don’t need to change anything in file maze.py.
To solve a maze using the Stack, use the following algorithm:
1. Add the start square to the stack.
2. Repeat the following as long as the stack is not empty:
• Pop a square off the stack (the current square)
• If the current square is the finish square, the solution has been
found
• Otherwise, get the list of squares which can be moved to from the
current square, and add them to the stack
Description of maze.py:
• The maze.py file has two classes: Maze and MazeSquare. The Maze
class represents the entire maze and the MazeSquare class
represents a single square in the Maze
• You can create a new instance of Maze class by calling the
constructor: my_maze = Maze(file_name), where file_name is the
name of a text file containing a maze.
• You can get the start square of the maze by
calling my_maze.get_start_square(). This method returns an object
of type MazeSquare.
• To check if a square is the finish square,
call my_maze.is_finish_square(square), where square is of type
MazeSquare.
• The get_legal_moves() is a method in the MazeSquare class. This
method returns a list of objects of type MazeSquare that can be
moved to. Let’s say if square is an identifier that is bound to an
object of type MazeSquare then get_legal_moves() can be called in
the following manner:
list_of_legal_moves = square.get_legal_moves()
An algorithm example is given in the given file
MazeAlgorithmExample.gif.
Two maze files are included for this exercise: solvable_maze.txt and
unsolvable_maze.txt. Check your program using these files. Thus, when
you use solvable_maze.txt file, your program should find a solution and
print the message Goal is reached. However, when you use
unsolvable_maze.txt file, your program can’t find a solution and prints
the message Goal is Unreachable. A graphic representation of each
maze file is given in the file MazeExamples.gif.
