Programmer's Challenge

By Bob Boonstra, Westford, MA

Longest Word Sort

This month's problem puts a twist on a well-known computing problem, the common text sort. Your Challenge is to sort a block of text into ascending or descending order. Yawn.... Except that the comparison function used to do the sort is a little unusual....

The prototype for the code you should write is:

void LongestWordSort(
   char *textToSort,            /* the text to be sorted */
   long numChars,               /* the length of the text in bytes */
   Boolean descending,         /* sort in descending order if true */
   Boolean caseSensitive      /* sort is case sensitive if true */
);

The textToSort provided to your LongestWordSort routine consists of a sequence of lines of text, each terminated by a return character (0x0D). You are to sort the lines of text in place into either ascending or descending order, based on the value of the descending flag, considering the text as either case sensitive or not case sensitive, based on the caseSensitive flag. The twist is that the primary sort criterion is the length of the words in the line, regardless of the position of the word in the line.

Words are a sequence of alphanumeric characters, separated by anything else (spaces, punctuation, etc.). A line with a longest word of N characters is considered to be "greater" than any line with a longest word of fewer characters. Among lines with longest words of the same length, the sort order is based on the length of the next-longest word, and so on. Finally, among lines with words of exactly the same length, the sort order is based on text order of the individual words, compared in order of length, and then in order of occurrence.

As an example, the following two lines have the same length pattern, with each containing two 5-letter words and one 3-letter word:

            the quick foxes
            early birds win

Sorted in ascending order, the second line is smaller, based on a comparison of "early" and "quick".

The text may include non-alphanumeric characters, which should ge ignored for purposes of comparison.

This will be a native PowerPC Challenge, using the CodeWarrior Pro 5 environment. Solutions may be coded in C, C++, or Pascal. This month, we'll also allow solutions that are completely or partially coded in assembly language. The winner will be the solution that correctly sorts a number of blocks of text in the least amount of execution time.

This problem was suggested by Ernst Munter, who earns two Challenge points for the suggestion.

Three Months Ago Winner

The May BigNum Math Challenge required contestants to write a collection of numerical routines for very large integers, numbers with hundreds of digits or more, well beyond what might fit in the memory normally allocated for an integer. The problem required design of an internal representation for these big numbers, and creation of routines to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. It also required code to raise one such number to the power of another, and code to calculate the square root of such numbers. And it required routines to convert the internal representation back and forth from a decimal representation. Congratulations to Ernst Munter (Kanata, Ontario) for taking first place in the BigNum Math Challenge.

Ernst chose to represent his BigNums as a sequence of unsigned 16-bit terms, to ensure that intermediate results fit into a 32-bit long word. The multiplication algorithm is inspired by an algorithm from Knuth, optimized to maximize the use of registers. The exponentiation tests were the most computationally intensive; Ernst's solution scans the bits of the exponent, squaring the intermediate result with each step, and optionally multiplying by the base. For conversion back to decimal, Ernst saves some time by converting to an intermediate representation in base 10000. These and other functions are well commented in the published code.

The second place solution by Mark Day was actually faster than the winning solution in many of the test cases. However, Mark's solution was significantly slower in the exponentiation test case, putting it in second place overall.

The table below lists, for each of the solutions submitted, and the cumulative execution time in milliseconds. It also provides the code size, data size, and programming language used for each entry. As usual, the number in parentheses after the entrant's name is the total number of Challenge points earned in all Challenges prior to this one.

               "BigNum Math"

  Version 3.1

  Task
  --
  Implement a set of arithmetic function for multi-digit numbers.
  The design of the big number data structure is unspecified.
  
  Data Structure
  -------
  BigNum contains a length field (number of decimal digits required to represent the
  number) and an opaque (void) pointer to a data structure.  I have defined a simple 
  structure for the internal representation of big numbers:
  struct MyNum {
      unsigned short term[]; is the binary representation of the absolute value, 
         stored least significant first in unsigned 16-bit chunks.
         The size of term[] is allocated as required by the magnitude of the big number.
      unsigned long numTermsAllocated; records the number of terms allocated.
         a sign bit is hidden as the MSB of numTermsAllocated.
      long lastTerm; records the index of the highest term actually in use. 
  };

  Two special values are defined for BigNum:
     - the numeric value of 0 is represented by setting the bigNumData pointer to 0,
     - an invalid result (e.g. divide by 0) is represented by BigNum.lengthInDigits = -1.
     
  Program Structure
  ---------
  The externally available C functions deal directly with most special cases, and then
  call a function in a layer which allocates MyNum objects and returns a BigNum.
  
  The allocation layer invokes the appropriate arithmetic method on the MyNum 
  object to obtain the result which is passed back to the allocation layer, for conversion 
  into a BigNum. 
     
  Conversion Algorithms
  -----------
  Conversions between the decimal digit representation and the binary representation 
  of MyNum are done in two stages.  The intermediate quasi-decimal representation, 
  uses MyNum formats, but with terms on a base of 10,000 (instead of 65,536).  The 
  routines with the fragment "10k" in their names participate in the conversion 
  process.
  
  Conversion from decimal to 10k representation is fairly simple: each four decimal 
  digits  make up one 10k term.  Conversion from 10k to binary is based on the 
  expansion
        ...(((x[n]*10k + x[n-1])*10k + x[n-2])*10k ....  + x[0], 
        evaluated in normal binary arithmetic.
     
  From binary we convert back to the 10k representation in a similar way:
        ...(((y[n]*64K + y[n-1])*64K + y[n-2])*64K ....  + y[0], 
        but evaluated with base 10k arithmetic.
        
  The splitting of each 10k term into 4 decimal digits is then trivial.
  
  Binary Arithmetic Algorithms
  --------------
  These are commented in the program.  
  The choice of 16-bit instead of 32-bit terms was primarily made to have a simple
  way of dealing with carries and with partial products.
  
  Floating point arithmetic is used in the square root function to obtain a quick good 
  first estimate from the first few bytes of the input value.
  
  Limitations
  ------
  The Power function is limited to providing results within the memory limitations of 
  a practical machine.  The smallest possible base (2) to the power of the largest 
  unsigned long exponent (about 4 billion) would result in a number of 4 billion bits 
  (about 1.3 billion digits).  Since this alone is beyond the storage capacity (RAM) of 
  the target machines, I have limited the power function to exponents with at most 32 
  bits (binary).
   
  Memory for temporary values is allocated using new[].  In the default C++ compiler 
  mode, an exception will be thrown if memory cannot be allocated, and the program 
  will just quit.
  
  If you expect to run up to your memory limits, and want to recover from failed new[] 
  calls, the program should be modified to either use new with the no_throw option 
  and test for null, or employ try {} catch() {} blocks.  
  
  Version 2 Changes
  ---------
  A better initial estimate for square roots is obtained by exploiting the full
  power of sqrt(double) to operate on up to 52 integer bits (instead of just 48).
  
  A faster multiplier is implemented which grows at less than the square law with
  increasing number size.  It is based on the observation that 2 two-digit 
  numbers can be multiplied with just 3 digit multiplications instead of four.
  Used recursively, this turns out to be much faster overall, for large numbers even 
  though temporary memory must be allocated and initialized frequently, and some 
  adds and subtracts are needed to combine the terms.
  
  Version 3 Changes
  ---------
  The fast multiply function was moved to a separate file "BigMult.cp".  The final
  recursion step is fanned out to a serious of completely unrolled matrix multipli-
  cation routines.  This technique alone improved speed again by almost a factor of 3.
  
  Analysis of the disassembled output led to a few small improvements for v.3.1.
  Specifically, the use of the struct member "lastTerm" as a loop control resulted
  in unnecessary reloads from memory, even though the parameter is declared const.  
  This inefficiency is avoided by making a local copy of the value, which in turn
  leads to the unrolling of the loop by the compiler.

// We try to work the final multiplication within registers.  To conserve registers,
// pairs of short factors, e.g. U[i] and U[i+1] are read into a single long register. 
// Note: this technique was not implemented to be portable to little-endian CPUs.

// The strategy works perfectly for N=8 and N=9.  For N>9, the compiler (CW-5.3) 
// fails to accomplish this, and does save some values on the stack.

// For N >= 12, a more straight forward technique is actually faster: we read the 
// factors U[i] and V[j] from memory (cache) directly, each time they are used.
