Description
In this assignment, you will implement a “to-do list” application with a Heap-based Priority Queue. The
application allows the user to manage their prioritized to-do lists using console commands for operations
such as adding new tasks, retrieving, or removing the highest priority task. Additionally, users can save
the list to a file or load the list from a file. Refer to Worksheets 33 and 34 for more details regarding the
heap implementation of the priority queue interface and the heapsort algorithm.
• Complete the implementation of the heap-based priority queue in file dynArray.c.
• Implement functions for saving and loading a to-do list to and from a file. These functions are in
the files toDoList.c and toDoList.h.
• Complete functions buildHeap() and sortHeap() in file dynArray.c, and in this way implement
the heap sort algorithm.
• Implement the print function in toDoList.c which prints the to-do list in the priority order. We have
provided a helper function copyDynArr() in file dynArray.c, which will be necessary to implement
the print function (copyDynArr() function will copy the main list to a temporary list so that tasks can
be printed out and then later removed).
Provided Files:
• dynArray.c — Implementation of dynamic array and heap-based priority queue. You will finish the
functions for heap-based priority queue in this file.
• dynArray.h — Header for dynArray.c. This file should not be changed.
• toDoList.c — Implementation of functions specialized for a to-do list application, such as saveList()
and loadList(). You will finish these functions.
• toDoList.h — Header for toDoList.c. This file should not be changed.
• type.h — Header file for Task structure. This file should not be changed.
• main.c — Controls the interactions between the user and the program. This file should not be
changed. You can use it to test your functions.
• Makefile — The program’s makefile.
• todo.txt — An example of a file that contains a to-do list, which was saved by function saveList().
Your function saveList() should save a to-do list in a file with the same format. You can also use
this file to test your function loadList().
• program demo.txt — Examples of command lines showing how a user can interact with the program.
This file is provided for your reference.
• main2.c — Tests the heap sort algorithm. You will need to change the Makefile and function names
in main.c and main2.c accordingly to switch between testing your implementations of the to-do list
application and the heap sort algorithm.
Scoring:
1) addHeap 15
2) adjustHeap 15
3) getMinHeap 5
4) removeHeap 10
5) buildHeap 10
6) sortHeap 10
7) saveList 10
8) loadList 15
9) printList 10
What to turn in
You will submit the following completed files:
1) dynArray.c
2) toDoList.c
Please use this file-naming convention. Make sure your code compiles using the provided makefile
on the Flip server. Zero tolerance for compiling errors. Design a number of test examples to thoroughly check for any errors in your code.
