FIT2004 S1/2021: Assignment 2 - Dynamic
Programming
DEADLINE: Friday 16th April 2021 23:55:00 AEST
LATE SUBMISSION PENALTY: 10% penalty per day. Submissions more than 7
calendar days late will receive 0. The number of days late is rounded up, e.g. 5 hours late
means 1 day late, 27 hours late is 2 days late. For special consideration, please visit this
page:
https://www.monash.edu/connect/forms/modules/course/special-consideration
and fill out the appropriate form. Do not contact the unit directly, as we cannot grant
special consideration unless you have used the online form.
PROGRAMMING CRITERIA: It is required that you implement this exercise strictly
using the Python programming language (version should not be earlier than 3.5). This
practical work will be marked on the time complexity, space complexity and functionality
of your program, and your documentation.
Your program will be tested using automated test scripts. It is therefore critically important
that you name your files and functions as specified in this document. If you do not, it
will make your submission difficult to mark, and you will be penalised.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT: You will submit a single python file, assignment2.py
PLAGIARISM: The assignments will be checked for plagiarism using an advanced plagiarism
detector. In previous semesters, many students were detected by the plagiarism
detector and almost all got zero mark for the assignment and, as a result, many failed the
unit. “Helping” others is NOT ACCEPTED. Please do not share your solutions partially
or completely to others. If someone asks you for help, ask them to visit a consultation for
help.

Learning Outcomes
This assignment achieves the Learning Outcomes of:
? 1) Analyse general problem solving strategies and algorithmic paradigms, and apply them
to solving new problems;
? 2) Prove correctness of programs, analyse their space and time complexities;
? 4) Develop and implement algorithms to solve computational problems.
In addition, you will develop the following employability skills:
? Text comprehension
? Designing test cases
? Ability to follow specifications precisely
Assignment timeline
In order to be successful in this assessment, the following steps are provided as a suggestion.
This is an approach which will be useful to you both in future units, and in industry.
Planning
1. Read the assignment specification as soon as possible and write out a list of questions
you have about it.
2. Clarify these questions. You can go to a consultation, talk to your tutor, discuss the tasks
with friends or ask in the forums.
3. As soon as possible, start thinking about the problems in the assignment.
? It is strongly recommended that you do not write code until you have a solid feeling
for how the problem works and how you will solve it.
4. Writing down small examples and solving them by hand is an excellent tool for coming
to a better understanding of the problem.
? As you are doing this, you will also get a feel for the kinds of edge cases your code
will have to deal with.
5. Write down a high level description of the algorithm you will use.
6. Determine the complexity of your algorithm idea, ensuring it meets the requirements.
2
Implementing
1. Think of test cases that you can use to check if your algorithm works.
? Use the edge cases you found during the previous phase to inspire your test cases.
? It is also a good idea to generate large random test cases.
? Sharing test cases is allowed, as it is not helping solve the assignment.
2. Code up your algorithm, (remember decomposition and comments) and test it on the
tests you have thought of.
3. Try to break your code. Think of what kinds of inputs you could be presented with which
your code might not be able to handle.
? Large inputs
? Small inputs
? Inputs with strange properties
? What if everything is the same?
? What if everything is different?
? etc...
Before submission
? Make sure that the input/output format of your code matches the specification.
? Make sure your filenames match the specification.
? Make sure your functions are named correctly and take the correct inputs.
? Make sure you zip your files correctly (if required)
Documentation (3 marks)
For this assignment (and all assignments in this unit) you are required to document and comment
your code appropriately. This documentation/commenting must consist of (but is not
limited to)
? For each function, high level description of that function. This should be a one or two
sentence explanation of what this function does. One good way of presenting this information
is by specifying what the input to the function is, and what output the function
produces (if appropriate)
? For each function, the Big-O complexity of that function, in terms of the input. Make
sure you specify what the variables involved in your complexity refer to. Remember that
the complexity of a function includes the complexity of any function calls it makes.
? Within functions, comments where appropriate. Generally speaking, you would comment
complicated lines of code (which you should try to minimise) or a large block of code
which performs a clear and distinct task (often blocks like this are good candidates to be
their own functions!).

1 Athlete work schedule (8 marks)
You are an athlete, who mostly works as a personal trainer but also competes in sporting competitions.
You can sometimes make more money from competing than from training, but you
need time to prepare and recover, which is time that you cannot spend working as a trainer, or
preparing for, competing in or recovering from any other competitions.
You want to maximise the amount of money you can earn by combining your job as a personal
trainer with participating in competitions. To do this, you will write a function
best_schedule(weekly_income, competitions).
1.1 Input
weekly_income is a list of non-negative integers, where weekly_income[i] is the amount of
money you will earn working as a personal trainer in week i.
competitions is a list of tuples, each representing a sporting competition. Each tuple contains
3 non-negative integers, (start_time, end_time, winnings).
start_time is the is the week that you will need to begin preparing for this competition (i.e.
the first week that you cannot do your regular job as a personal trainer, if you compete in this
competition).
end_time is the last week that you will need to spend recovering from this competition (i.e.
the last week that you cannot do your regular job as a personal trainer, if you compete in this
competition).
winnings is the amount of money you will win if you compete in this competition.
1.2 Output
best_schedule returns an integer, which is the maximum amount of money that can be earned.
1.3 Example
weekly_income = [3,7,2,1,8,4,5]
competitions = [(1,3,15),(2,2,8),(0,4,30),(3,5,19)]
print(best_schedule(weekly_income, competitions))
>>> 42
In the above example, the optimal schedule is to work as a trainer in weeks 0 and 1 (earning
3+7), then compete in the (2,2,8) event in week 2 (earning 8), then compete in the (3,5,19)
event from weeks 3 to 5 (earning 19), then work as a trainer in week 6 (earning 5).
1.4 Complexity
best_schedule should run in O(Nlog(N)) time and O(N) space, where N is the total number
of elements in weekly_income and competitions put together.

2 Sales itinerary (9 marks)
A salesperson lives on the coast. They travel to various cities along the coast to work. Sometimes
they stay in a city for a day or a few days to work, and other times they simply pass
through on their way to another city.
Since Covid-19, each city has instituted a policy of having travelers quarantine, but only if
they want to stay in the city. If they are just passing through, they can continue on their way
without quarantining. Also, each city asks visitors to quarantine for a different amount of time.
The salesperson has an idea of how much money they can make by working in each city, for
each day. They need to decide which cities to travel to, and which cities to work in, in order
to make the most money.
Each day, the salesperson can either work for the day in their current city (assuming they have
finished quarantine), or they can travel to either adjacent city. Traveling always takes 1 day,
and since the cities are along a coast, each city has two adjacent cities, except for two cities on
the ends of the coast, which only have 1.
To solve this problem, you will write a function best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time,
home).
2.1 Input
We think of the n cities as being numbered 0...n-1. In one day, the salesperson can travel
from city i to either city i+1 or i-1. From city 0 they can only travel to city 1, and from city
n-1 they can only travel to city n-2.
profit is a list of lists. All interior lists are length n. Each interior list represents a different
day. profit[d][c] is the profit that the salesperson will make by working in city c on day d.
quarantine_time is a list of non-negative integers. quarantine_time[i] is the number of
days city i requires visitors to quarantine before they can work there.
home is an integer between 0 and n-1 inclusive, which represents the city that the salesperson
starts in. They can start working in this city without needing to quarantine on the first day.
If they leave and come back later, they will need to quarantine.
2.2 Output
best_itinerary returns an integer, which is the maximum amount of money that can be
earned by the salesperson.

2.3 Example
profit = [
[6, 9, 7, 5, 9]
[4, 7, 3, 10, 9]
[7, 5, 4, 2, 8]
[2, 7, 10, 9, 5]
[2, 5, 2, 6, 1]
[4, 9, 4, 10, 6]
[2, 2, 4, 8, 7]
[4, 10, 2, 7, 4]]
quarantine_time = [3,1,1,1,1]
best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time, 0)
>>> 39
best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time, 1)
>>> 54
best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time, 2)
>>> 47
best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time, 3)
>>> 57
best_itinerary(profit, quarantine_time, 4)
>>> 51
2.4 Explanation of example
? h=0. The salesperson works in city 0 on the first day, then travels to city 1 on the second
day, quarantines on the third day, then works in city 1 for the remaining days.
? h=1. The salesperson works in city 1 every day.
? h = 2. The salesperson works in city 2 on the first day, then travels to city 3 on the
second day, quarantines on the third day, then works in city 3 for the remaining days.
? h=3. The salesperson works in city 3 every day.
? h=4. The salesperson works in city 4 for 3 days, then travels to city 3 on the fourth day,
quarantines for a day, then works in city 3 for 3 days.
2.5 More examples
Since it is difficult to construct test cases for this question, I will be posting several additional
test cases on the forums. As usual, students should feel free to create even more test cases and
post them.
2.6 Complexity
best_itinerary should run in O(nd) time and space, where n is the number of cities, and d
is the number of days (i.e. the number of interior lists in profit). In the above example, n =
5, d = 8.

Warning
For all assignments in this unit, you may not use python dictionaries or sets. This is because
the complexity requirements for the assignment are all deterministic worst case requirements,
and dictionaries/sets are based on hash tables, for which it is difficult to determine the deterministic
worst case behaviour.
Please ensure that you carefully check the complexity of each inbuilt python function and
data structure that you use, as many of them make the complexities of your algorithms worse.
Common examples which cause students to lose marks are list slicing, inserting or deleting
elements in the middle or front of a list (linear time), using the in keyword to check for
membership of an iterable (linear time), or building a string using repeated concatenation
of characters. Note that use of these functions/techniques is not forbidden, however you
should exercise care when using them.
These are just a few examples, so be careful. Remember, you are responsible for the complexity
of every line of code you write!
