Completing Part I gives a 3 or a G;
Part I and Part II are both needed for a 4, 5, or VG


This exam consists of two parts:
Part I   (5 small assignments)

  • Give good enough answers for 4 assignments here and you will get a 3 or a G
Part II   (2 larger assignments)

  • Ignore this part if you are happy with a 3 or a G!
  • Do Part I and one assignment of your choice here and you will get a 4
  • Do Part I and both assignments here and you will get a 5 or a VG


Please read the following guidelines carefully:
  • Answers can be given in Swedish or English
  • Begin each assignment on a new sheet
  • Write your number on each sheet
  • Write clearly; unreadable = wrong!
  • You can make use of the standard Haskell functions and types given in the attached list (you have to implement other functions yourself if you want to use them)
  • You do not have to import standard modules in your solutions

  • Good Luck!

    Part I

    You have to complete 4 out of the following 5 assignments to get a pass on the exam.


    1. Implement a function

    totalPrice :: (Item -> Int) -> [Item] -> Int

    that given a price function and an item list calculates the total price of the items in the list. The price function Item -> Int gives the price of a single item. Items are represented as strings:

    type Item = String

    For the examples, we will use the following price function:

    priceOf :: String -> Int
    priceOf "milk"      = 10
    priceOf "butter"    = 18
    priceOf "potatoes"  = 22
    priceOf "chocolate" = 16

    Examples:

    *Main> totalPrice priceOf ["milk", "milk", "butter"]
    38
    
    *Main> totalPrice priceOf ["chocolate", "butter"]
    34

    2. When paying invoices using online banking, there is always a risk that one mistypes the OCR number. For this reason, OCR numbers typically include a check sum which makes it easy to discover most incorrectly typed numbers. A simple method to discover incorrect numbers is to look at the sum of the digits. In this assignment, we will say that a correct OCR number has a digit sum that ends with 7.

    For example, the number 123452 is correct because 1+2+3+4+5+2 = 17, and the last digit of 17 is 7.

    Implement a function

    correctOCR :: [Integer] -> Bool

    that, given an OCR number (represented as a list of digits), checks whether or not it is correct.

    Examples:

    *Main> correctOCR [1,2,3,4,5,2]
    True
    
    *Main> correctOCR [1,2,3,4,5,6]
    False

    Hint:


    3. Consider the following recursive data type, used to store integers in a tree shape.

    data Store
      = Empty
      | Join Int Store Store

    Implement a function

    maxStore :: Store -> Int

    that finds the largest integer element in the tree.

    Examples:

    *Main> maxStore Empty
    0
    
    *Main> maxStore (Join 3 Empty (Join 7 Empty Empty))
    7

    4. Write a QuickCheck property that expresses that the result of sorting a list is the same if the list is first reversed, and then sorted.

    prop_reverse_sort :: [Int] -> Bool
    ...

    Use the standard function sort.


    5. The well-known UNIX command head prints out the first 10 lines in a file. Implement a Haskell function:

    unixHead :: FilePath -> IO ()

    that given a file name, prints out the first 10 lines in that file.

    Example:

    *Main> unixHead "Functions.hs"
    {-
    This is a list of selected functions from the standard Haskell modules:
    
      Prelude
      Data.List
      Data.Maybe
      Data.Char
    -}
    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (Functions.hs is the file containing the appendix of this exam.)

    Hint:

    Part II

    Do not work on this part if you only want to get a 3 or a G!

    If you want to get a 4, you have to do Part I, plus one of the following assignments.

    If you want to get a 5 or a VG, you have to do Part I, plus both of the following assignments.


    6. Arne has a radio-controlled car that accepts four different commands: forward, backward, turn left and turn right. When the car turns left or right, it always turns exactly 90 degrees. In order to improve his driving skills, Arne wants to write a computer simulator for the car’s movement.

    He starts by modeling the four commands as a data type:

    data Command
      = FORW Int
      | BACKW Int
      | LEFT
      | RIGHT

    The integer argument to FORW and BACKW denotes the distance the car should drive in that direction.

    But after this, Arne gets stuck. He needs your help to implement a function

    destination :: [Command] -> (Int,Int)

    that, given a list of commands computes the position of the car after following these commands. The original position of the car is (x, y) = (0, 0), and it is facing “upwards” in the sense that going forwards will increase its y position.

    Example:

    *Main> destination [FORW 20, BACKW 10, RIGHT, FORW 100]
    (100,10)
    
    *Main> destination [FORW 20, BACKW 5, LEFT, FORW 100]
    (-100,15)

    Can you help him by implementing the function destination?


    7. Imagine that you have been given 100 kr and want to spend as much of it as possible. You go into a store where they sell the following:

    Magazine:  44 kr
    Ice cream: 33 kr
    Umbrella:  59 kr
    Candy:     15 kr
    Soda:      19 kr

    You are allowed to buy at most one of each item. What’s the maximum amount you can spend in this store?

    (Answer: 96 kr (magazine, ice cream and soda).)

    Write a function

    maxSpend :: Int -> [Int] -> Int

    that, given a maximal amount, and a list of item prices, computes the maximal spendable amount. Remember that you are allowed to buy each item at most once.

    Examples:

    *Main> maxSpend 100 [44,33,59,15,19]
    96
    
    *Main> maxSpend 100 [44,33]
    77
    
    *Main> maxSpend 10 [44,33]
    0
