/** * @file cpair.c * @author Ivaylo Ivanov 11777707 * @date 08.12.2018 * * @brief Main program module. * * A program that searches for the closest pair of points in a set of 2D-points * * SYNOPSIS * cpair * * EXAMPLE * $ cat 1.txt * 4.0 4.0 * -1.0 1.0 * 1.0 -1.0 * -4.0 -4.0 * $ ./cpair < 1.txt * -1.000000 1.000000 * 1.000000 -1.000000 * * * The program accepts an array of 2D-points as an input from stdin. The input ends at EOF. * * The program does the following: * - No output if the array has one point * - The points if the array has 2 points * - Otherwise, the array is split in 2 parts based on the mean of X and sent to 2 different paralell child processes. The parent watches for the return code of the children and terminates with an error if any of the children exit with anything other than success. * * Algorithm description when there are more than 2 points: * - P1 and P2 are the closest pairs for the first and the second part respectively. * - Go through all of the pairs between the points from the first half with the second half and save the shortest one in P3. * - Compare P1, P2 and P3 and return the shortest one to stdout. * **/ #include #include #include #include float get_x_mean(float *points[2], int arr_len); int main () { char input[__UINT8_MAX__] = ""; ///< An array to save the input to float *points[2]; ///< A pointer to a two-valued array to save the points to int point_num = 0; ///< Save the number of points while(fgets(input, __INT8_MAX__, stdin) != NULL) { ///< Read line by line /// Split the input by whitespace as delimiter char *x = strtok(input, " "); char *y = strtok(NULL, " "); if(x != NULL && y != NULL) { /// Convert to float and save to the array points[point_num][0] = strtof(x, NULL); points[point_num][1] = strtof(y, NULL); point_num++; ///< Increase the array length } else { puts("ERROR: Ill-formed line found"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } if(feof(stdin) == 0) { puts("ERROR: An error interrupted the read"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if(point_num == 1) exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); if(point_num == 2) { printf("%f %f\n", points[0][0], points[0][1]); printf("%f %f\n", points[1][0], points[1][1]); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } float x_mean = get_x_mean(points, point_num); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } /** * @brief Function to calculate the mean of the X coordinates from a points array * @details Loops through the points array, gets the sum of X coordinates and returns the mean * @param points - a pointer to an array with the points * point_num - number of points in the array * @return mean of all X coordinates * **/ float get_x_mean(float *points[2], int point_num) { float x_sum = 0; for(int i = 0; i< point_num; i++) { x_sum += points[i][0]; } return x_sum/point_num; }
