This is my first time using c++ and I am having trouble manipulating a set. The function is supposed to iterate through the set, find the pair of Regions* that have the least distance between them, insert a new Region* and remove the two selected Regions* from the list. However, when I call s.insert() the set will be updated, but when the outer while loops begins again the set size is still the original. I commented out the s.erase() lines, but I was having the same issue. I have tried creating a new set and working off the one that is passed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling it has something to with pointers.
Region* reduce(set<Region*>& ls) {
set<Region*> s = ls;
int i = 0;
std::set<Region*> remove;
while (i < 5) {
double cur_smallest = 0.0;
Region* smallest1 = new Region(0, 0, 0, 0);
Region* smallest2 = new Region(0, 0, 0, 0);
std::set<Region*>::iterator rIterator;
std::set<Region*>::iterator regionsIterator = s.begin();
while (regionsIterator != s.end()) {
Region* current = *regionsIterator;
if (s.size() == 1) {
return current;
}
rIterator = s.begin();
while (rIterator != s.end()) {
Region* c = *rIterator;
double d = c->distance(*current);
if (d < cur_smallest) {
cur_smallest = d;
smallest1 = c;
smallest2 = current;
}
else if (d == cur_smallest) {
if ((getArea(c) + getArea(current)) <= (getArea(smallest1) + getArea(smallest2))) {
smallest1 = c;
smallest2 = current;
}
}
rIterator++;
}
regionsIterator++;
}
Region tmp = *(smallest1,smallest2);
s.insert(&tmp);
//s.erase(smallest1);
//s.erase(smallest2);
cout << s.size();
i++;
}
Region tmp = *(smallest1,smallest2);
Region* tmp1 = new Region(tmp.x, tmp.y, tmp.width, tmp.height, tmp.r1, tmp.r2);
s.insert(tmp1);
I'm implementing a Skip List. It's not important what it is, but it works right now for 1000 nodes but not with 10000. I was getting SegFaults that didn't made sense, so I printf'ed some variables. To my surprise, a lot of things that shouldn't were changing, to garbage values. For example, I printed inputValue before and after function insertNode. It sometimes resets to zero, when should always be incrementing. Let's see code (skip the read file input, the problem happens at the while cycle):
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
string filename = "";
if( argc == 2 )
filename = argv[1];
else
return 0;
list = new skiplist();
fstream inputFile(filename.c_str(), ios_base::in);
inputFile >> numberofnodes;
inputFile >> list->minimumKey;
inputFile >> list->maximumKey;
printf("%d\n", numberofnodes);
printf("%d\n", list->minimumKey);
printf("%d\n", list->maximumKey);
list->Maxlevel = 1;
list->header = new node();
list->tail = new node();
list->header->key = list->minimumKey;
list->tail->key = list->maximumKey;
for ( int i=1; i<=MAXIMUMLEVEL; i++ ) {
list->header->forward[i] = list->tail;
list->tail->forward[i] = NULL;
}
int sanityCheck = 134153;
// insert nodes
int inputKey;
int inputValue = 0;
int * keys = new int[numberofnodes];
while (inputFile >> inputKey)
{
inputValue++;
keys[inputValue] = inputKey;
insertNode(inputKey, inputValue);
if(sanityCheck != 134153) // dark magic changes this value
keys[9999999999999999999999]++; // program crashes here
// it would otherwise crash on while
}
printf("\n\nNodes inserted: %d\n\n",inputValue);
I ran Valgrind. The invalid memory writes/read happened after and because of the variables changing, at least I believe so. That's why I added the sanity check. And as I thought, there were no invalid memory writes/read before trying to access keys[9999999999999999999999]. But that line can only run the int sanitycheck is changed, which I never do.
Finally, here's the code for the insertNode. I see nothing on it that could cause this:
void insertNode(int newKey, int newValue){
node * update[MAXIMUMLEVEL];
node * auxNode = list->header;
for(int i=list->Maxlevel; i >=1; i--) {
while ( auxNode->forward[i]->key < newKey ) {
auxNode = auxNode->forward[i];
}
update[i] = auxNode;
}
auxNode = auxNode->forward[1];
if ( auxNode->key == newKey ) {
auxNode->value = newValue;
} else {
int randomLevel = 1;
while ( (rand() / double(RAND_MAX)) < LEVELPROBABILITY && randomLevel < MAXIMUMLEVEL ) {
randomLevel++;
}
if ( randomLevel > list->Maxlevel ) {
for ( int i = list->Maxlevel+1; i <= randomLevel; i++ ) {
update[i] = list->header;
}
list->Maxlevel = randomLevel;
}
node * newNode = new node();
newNode->key = newKey;
newNode->value = newValue;
for ( int i=1; i<=MAXIMUMLEVEL; i++ ) {
newNode->forward[i] = NULL;
}
for ( int i=1; i<=list->Maxlevel; i++ ) {
newNode->forward[i] = update[i]->forward[i];
update[i]->forward[i] = newNode;
}
}
}
And the structures:
typedef struct node {
int key;
int value;
node * forward[MAXIMUMLEVEL+1];
}node;
struct skiplist {
int minimumKey;
int maximumKey;
int Maxlevel;
node * header;
node * tail;
};
EDIT:
#define MAXIMUMLEVEL 16
#define LEVELPROBABILITY 0.5
I'm not even using mallocs. There are pointer operations, but valgrind should detect if I did something bad right? If I was running out of memory, there would be an exception. How is it possible that an int I create and never access/write/change gets modified? Sorry for the long post, but I have no idea where the problem might be.

Line 155 is the while (inputFile >> inputKey)
Here's the output of clang's address sanitizer (after setting it up properly):

Line 55 refers to this:

node * update[MAXIMUMLEVEL];
node * auxNode = list->header;
for(int i=list->Maxlevel; i >=1; i--) {
while ( auxNode->forward[i]->key < newKey ) {

}
update[i] = auxNode;

int randomLevel = 1;
while ( (rand() / double(RAND_MAX)) < LEVELPROBABILITY && randomLevel < MAXIMUMLEVEL ) {

}
if ( randomLevel > list->Maxlevel ) {
for ( int i = list->Maxlevel+1; i <= randomLevel; i++ ) {
update[i] = list->header; // line 55 <===================
}
list->Maxlevel = randomLevel;
}
The loop
while ( (rand() / double(RAND_MAX)) < LEVELPROBABILITY && randomLevel < MAXIMUMLEVEL ) {
randomLevel++;
}
guarantees that randomLevel <= MAXIMUMLEVEL. If randomLevel == MAXIMUMLEVEL, and MAXIMUMLEVEL > list->Maxlevel, then the loop in line 54 turns into:
for ( int i = list->Maxlevel+1; i <= MAXIMUMLEVEL; i++ ) {
update[i] = list->header; // line 55 <===================
}
Note that update is declared as node * update[MAXIMUMLEVEL];. You'll get an out-of-bounds access.
I don't quite understand why your code seems not to access the 0th element of arrays. In my experience, it is also much easier to work with half-open-on-right ranges of the form [0, length_of_array) which leads to loops of the form
for(int i = 0; i < length_of_array; ++i)
Note the < instead of <=. Consistent use of half-open-on-right ranges can dramatically reduce the number of off-by-one errors.
A quick fix is to declare update just like node::forward as
node * update[MAXIMUMLEVEL + 1];
Note the +1.
A better fix is probably to rewrite the code such that it uses half-open-on-right ranges, where MAXIMUMLEVEL gets it's interpretation from the range [0, MAXIMUMLEVEL) and is no longer a maximum, but a supremum (and denotes the number of levels).
I am trying to construct a quadtree, and having some difficulty. It is meant to read a binary image (handled elsewhere) and perform various operations. However, of course, first the quad tree must be construct. I wish to continue to subdivide the tree until all the pixels are one solid colour (black or white) for convenience of manipulation.
I have the following function, which simply calls a helper function handling the lengthy recursive process of building the tree.
void Quadtree::constructQuadtree(Image* mImage){
if (mImage->imgPixels == 0) {
return;
}
root = new QTNode();
this->root = buildQTRecur(mImage, 0, 0, mImage->rows);
}
Here is the helper function that handles the bulk of the tree building:
QTNode* Quadtree::buildQTRecur(Image* mImage, int startRow, int startCol, int subImageDim) {
if (this->root == NULL) {
return this->root;
}
if (subImageDim >= 1) {
int initialValue = 0;
bool uniform = false;
// Check to see if subsquare is uniformly black or white (or grey)
for (int i = startRow; i < startRow + subImageDim; i++)
{
for (int j = startCol; j < startCol + subImageDim; j++)
{
if ((i == startRow) && (j == startCol))
initialValue = mImage->imgPixels[i*mImage->rows+j];
else {
if (mImage->imgPixels[i*(mImage->rows)+j] != initialValue) {
uniform = true;
break;
}
}
}
}
// Is uniform
if (uniform) {
this->root->value = initialValue;
this->root->NW = NULL;
this->root->SE = NULL;
this->root->SW = NULL;
this->root->NE = NULL;
return this->root;
}
else { // Division required - not uniform
this->root->value = 2; //Grey node
this->root->NW = new QTNode();
this->root->NE = new QTNode();
this->root->SE = new QTNode();
this->root->SW = new QTNode();
// Recursively split up subsquare into four smaller subsquares with dimensions half that of the original.
this->root->NW = buildQTRecur(mImage, startRow, startCol, subImageDim/2);
this->root->NE = buildQTRecur(mImage, startRow, startCol+subImageDim/2, subImageDim/2);
this->root->SW = buildQTRecur(mImage, startRow+subImageDim/2, startCol, subImageDim/2);
this->root->SE = buildQTRecur(mImage, startRow+subImageDim/2, startCol+subImageDim/2, subImageDim/2);
}
}
return this->root;
}
I get stuck in an infinite loop when I try to run it. Please let me know if it would be helpful to see anything else, such as my node constructor, or any additional information to assist!
Thank you.
I see several problems in your code:
Who is responsible to create the subnode ? If you write both
this->root->NW = new QTNode();
this->root->NW = buildQTRecur(mImage, startRow, startCol, subImageDim/2);
then you fisrt allocate a new quadtree and then overwrite it.
You get the logic to compute uniform reversed.
If you find two different pixel, then you do a break. But it only get out the inner loop. You should consider putting this in a helper function and do a return here to get out of both loop at once.
for efficiency reason you shouldn't write
if ((i == startRow) && (j == startCol))
initialValue = mImage->imgPixels[i*mImage->rows+j];
Just put
initialValue = mImage->imgPixels[startRow*mImage->rows+startCol];
before the loop
My feeble attempt at an A* Algorithm is generating unpredictable errors.
My FindAdjacent() function is clearly a mess, and it actually doesn't work when I step through it. This is my first time trying a path finding algorithm, so this is all new to me.
When the application actually manages to find the goal nodes and path (or so I think), it can never set the path (called from within main by pressing enter). I do not know why it is unable to do this from looking at the SetPath() function.
Any help would be hugely appreciated, here's my code:

A few suggestions:
ADJACENCY TEST
The test in FindAdjacent will only find diagonal neighbours at the moment
if (i != 0 && j != 0)
If you also want to find left/right/up/down neighbours you would want to use
if (i != 0 || j != 0)
ADJACENCY LOOP
I think your code looks suspicious in FindAdjacent at the line
for (vector<Node*>::iterator iter = mClosedList.begin(); iter != mClosedList.end(); iter++)
I don't really understand the intention here. I would have expected mClosedList to start empty, so this loop will never execute, and so nothing will ever get added to mOpenList.
My expectation at this part of the algorithm would be for you to test for each neighbour whether it should be added to the open list.
OPENLIST CHECK
If you look at the A* algorithm on wikipedia you will see that you are also missing the section starting
if neighbor not in openset or tentative_g_score < g_score[neighbor]
in which you should also check in FindAdjacent whether your new node is already in the OpenSet before adding it, and if it is then only add it if the score is better.
I have an array of a few million numbers.
double* const data = new double (3600000);
I need to iterate through the array and find the range (the largest value in the array minus the smallest value). However, there is a catch. I only want to find the range where the smallest and largest values are within 1,000 samples of each other.
So I need to find the maximum of: range(data + 0, data + 1000), range(data + 1, data + 1001), range(data + 2, data + 1002), ...., range(data + 3599000, data + 3600000).
I hope that makes sense. Basically I could do it like above, but I'm looking for a more efficient algorithm if one exists. I think the above algorithm is O(n), but I feel that it's possible to optimize. An idea I'm playing with is to keep track of the most recent maximum and minimum and how far back they are, then only backtrack when necessary.
I'll be coding this in C++, but a nice algorithm in pseudo code would be just fine. Also, if this number I'm trying to find has a name, I'd love to know what it is.
Thanks.
This type of question belongs to a branch of algorithms called streaming algorithms. It is the study of problems which require not only an O(n) solution but also need to work in a single pass over the data. the data is inputted as a stream to the algorithm, the algorithm can't save all of the data and then and then it is lost forever. the algorithm needs to get some answer about the data, such as for instance the minimum or the median.
Specifically you are looking for a maximum (or more commonly in literature - minimum) in a window over a stream.
Here's a presentation on an article that mentions this problem as a sub problem of what they are trying to get at. it might give you some ideas.
I think the outline of the solution is something like that - maintain the window over the stream where in each step one element is inserted to the window and one is removed from the other side (a sliding window). The items you actually keep in memory aren't all of the 1000 items in the window but a selected representatives which are going to be good candidates for being the minimum (or maximum).
read the article. it's abit complex but after 2-3 reads you can get the hang of it.
The algorithm you describe is really O(N), but i think the constant is too high. Another solution which looks reasonable is to use O(N*log(N)) algorithm the following way:
* create sorted container (std::multiset) of first 1000 numbers
* in loop (j=1, j<(3600000-1000); ++j)
- calculate range
- remove from the set number which is now irrelevant (i.e. in index *j - 1* of the array)
- add to set new relevant number (i.e. in index *j+1000-1* of the array)
I believe it should be faster, because the constant is much lower.
This is a good application of a min-queue - a queue (First-In, First-Out = FIFO) which can simultaneously keep track of the minimum element it contains, with amortized constant-time updates. Of course, a max-queue is basically the same thing.
Once you have this data structure in place, you can consider CurrentMax (of the past 1000 elements) minus CurrentMin, store that as the BestSoFar, and then push a new value and pop the old value, and check again. In this way, keep updating BestSoFar until the final value is the solution to your question. Each single step takes amortized constant time, so the whole thing is linear, and the implementation I know of has a good scalar constant (it's fast).
I don't know of any documentation on min-queue's - this is a data structure I came up with in collaboration with a coworker. You can implement it by internally tracking a binary tree of the least elements within each contiguous sub-sequence of your data. It simplifies the problem that you'll only pop data from one end of the structure.
If you're interested in more details, I can try to provide them. I was thinking of writing this data structure up as a paper for arxiv. Also note that Tarjan and others previously arrived at a more powerful min-deque structure that would work here, but the implementation is much more complex. You can google for "mindeque" to read about Tarjan et al.'s work.
std::multiset<double> range;
double currentmax = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < 3600000; ++i)
{
if (i >= 1000)
range.erase(range.find(data[i-1000]));
range.insert(data[i]);
if (i >= 999)
currentmax = max(currentmax, *range.rbegin());
}
Note untested code.
Edit: fixed off-by-one error.
read in the first 1000 numbers.
create a 1000 element linked list which tracks the current 1000 number.
create a 1000 element array of pointers to linked list nodes, 1-1 mapping.
sort the pointer array based on linked list node's values. This will rearrange the array but keep the linked list intact.
you can now calculate the range for the first 1000 numbers by examining the first and last element of the pointer array.
remove the first inserted element, which is either the head or the tail depending on how you made your linked list. Using the node's value perform a binary search on the pointer array to find the to-be-removed node's pointer, and shift the array one over to remove it.
add the 1001th element to the linked list, and insert a pointer to it in the correct position in the array, by performing one step of an insertion sort. This will keep the array sorted.
now you have the min. and max. value of the numbers between 1 and 1001, and can calculate the range using the first and last element of the pointer array.
it should now be obvious what you need to do for the rest of the array.
The algorithm should be O(n) since the delete and insertion is bounded by log(1e3) and everything else takes constant time.
I decided to see what the most efficient algorithm I could think of to solve this problem was using actual code and actual timings. I first created a simple solution, one that tracks the min/max for the previous n entries using a circular buffer, and a test harness to measure the speed. In the simple solution, each data value is compared against the set of min/max values, so that's about window_size * count tests (where window size in the original question is 1000 and count is 3600000).
I then thought about how to make it faster. First off, I created a solution that used a fifo queue to store window_size values and a linked list to store the values in ascending order where each node in the linked list was also a node in the queue. To process a data value, the item at the end of the fifo was removed from the linked list and the queue. The new value was added to the start of the queue and a linear search was used to find the position in the linked list. The min and max values could then be read from the start and end of the linked list. This was quick, but wouldn't scale well with increasing window_size (i.e. linearly).
So I decided to add a binary tree to the system to try to speed up the search part of the algorithm. The final timings for window_size = 1000 and count = 3600000 were:
Simple: 106875
Quite Complex: 1218
Complex: 1219
which was both expected and unexpected. Expected in that using a sorted linked list helped, unexpected in that the overhead of having a self balancing tree didn't offset the advantage of a quicker search. I tried the latter two with an increased window size and found that the were always nearly identical up to a window_size of 100000.
Which all goes to show that theorising about algorithms is one thing, implementing them is something else.

Idea of algorithm:
Take the first 1000 values of data and sort them
The last in the sort - the first is range(data + 0, data + 999).
Then remove from the sort pile the first element with the value data[0]
and add the element data[1000]
Now, the last in the sort - the first is range(data + 1, data + 1000).
Repeat until done
// This should run in (DATA_LEN - RANGE_WIDTH)log(RANGE_WIDTH)
#include <set>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
const int DATA_LEN = 3600000;
double* const data = new double (DATA_LEN);
....
....
const int RANGE_WIDTH = 1000;
double range = new double(DATA_LEN - RANGE_WIDTH);
multiset<double> data_set;
data_set.insert(data[i], data[RANGE_WIDTH]);
for (int i = 0 ; i < DATA_LEN - RANGE_WIDTH - 1 ; i++)
{
range[i] = *data_set.end() - *data_set.begin();
multiset<double>::iterator iter = data_set.find(data[i]);
data_set.erase(iter);
data_set.insert(data[i+1]);
}
range[i] = *data_set.end() - *data_set.begin();
// range now holds the values you seek
You should probably check this for off by 1 errors, but the idea is there.
