Image-1 (6)

Write code to change every pixel in the image like this: double the green value and and set the blue value to 0.

image = new SimpleImage("something.jpg");
for (pixel: image) {
  // your code here


Image-2 (8)

Suppose we have an image showing a red balloon in front of blue sky. For this question, parts (a) and (b) each require just a single line of if-statement code and nothing else.

a. Assume that the loop and avg = xxx code are all provided. Write the one-line if-statement code to detect a balloon pixel by testing its red value using the avg technique:

image = new SimpleImage("something.jpg");
for (pixel: image) {
  avg = < something >
  // Write if-statement here:
  


b. Now write an if-statement that detects the balloon pixel just as in (a), but in this case use only its blue value with the avg technique:

image = new SimpleImage("something.jpg");
for (pixel: image) {
  avg = < something >
  // Write if-statement here:
  


Image-3 "Eye Of The Tiger" (12)

We have an image of a yellow and black striped tiger in front of a green jungle background. We have a "back" image that is the same size, showing lots of little orange kittens. Write bluescreen code to detect the yellow parts of the tiger with the avg technique and replace the yellow tiger pixels with kitten pixels from the back image.

image = new SimpleImage("tiger.jpg");
back = new SimpleImage("kittens.jpg");
for (pixel: image) {
  // your code here



Image-4 (12)

We have an image 800 pixels wide and 500 pixels high, and a back image of the same size. Here you'll write code to change the back image. Consider pixels in the image that are in a vertical stripe 200 pixels wide running down the right edge of the image. Within that stripe, if the red and blue values of a pixel are both over 200, then blend the blue value of that pixel divided by 10 into the corresponding blue pixel value of the back image.

image = new SimpleImage("something.jpg");
back = new SimpleImage("back.jpg");
for (pixel: image) {
  // your code here



Table-1 (6)

For this question we'll use the survey fields "color" and "soda". Write code to print all the rows where color is "red" and soda is not "coke".

table = new SimpleTable("survey.csv");
table.convertToLowerCase();
for (row: table) {

Table-2 (8)

Write code to count the number of baby names that start with "A" or "B" and print the total count like this:

count: 142
table = new SimpleTable("baby.csv");
for (row: table) {

Table-3 (10)

This question uses the survey fields "color", "tv", and "gender". We'll say that someone is "hip" if their favorite color is "blue" and their favorite TV show is "game of thrones". What is the gender breakdown of hipness? Write code to count and print the number of hip males and females like this:

male: 17
female: 18
table = new SimpleTable("survey.csv");
table.convertToLowerCase();
for (row: table) {


Spreadsheet-1 (8)

For this problem, you have the following spreadsheet with raw data for a stadium-step running class, split into morning and afternoon groups.
spreadsheet cell picture

a. What exactly goes in the cell immediately to the right of "Morning Total:" to compute the total of the morning numbers?

b. What exactly goes in the cell immediately to the right of "Afternoon Total:" to compute the total of the afternoon numbers?

c. For some reason, the Grand Total is defined as 10 times the morning total plus 20 times the afternoon total. What exactly goes in the cell immediately to the right of "Grand Total:" to compute this?

Solutions

SA1
a. 
cpu = brains
flash drive + hard disk = persistent storage
RAM = temporary storage
b. 256
c. 8/10 second
d. 4500 MB = 4.5 GB

b. IP address
c. The packet was not corrupted/messed-up in transit

Image-1
  pixel.setGreen(pixel.getGreen() * 2);
  pixel.setBlue(0);

Image-2
a.  if (pixel.getRed() > avg) {  // i.e. the -high vs. -low strategies
b.  if (pixel.getBlue() < avg) {

Image-3
  avg = (pixel.getRed() + pixel.getGreen() + pixel.getBlue())/3;
  // yellow is red+green, so look for red
  if (pixel.getRed() > avg) {
    // this is standard bluescreen code
    pixel2 = back.getPixel(pixel.getX(), pixel.getY());
    pixel.setRed(pixel2.getRed());
    pixel.setGreen(pixel2.getGreen());
    pixel.setBlue(pixel2.getBlue());
  }
common errors: incorrectly detecting pixels to change. (should be (pixel.getRed() > avg)


Image-4
  if (pixel.getX() > 600 &&
      pixel.getRed() > 200 &&
      pixel.getBlue() > 200) {
    pixel2 = back.getPixel(pixel.getX(), pixel.getY());
    pixel2.setBlue(pixel2.getBlue() + pixel.getBlue()/10);  // much going on on this line
  }

Table-1
  if (row.getField("color") == "red" && row.getField("soda") != "coke") {
    print(row);
  }

Table-2
count = 0;
table = new SimpleTable("baby.csv");
for (row: table) {
   // use || in the test
  if (row.getField("name").startsWith("A") ||
      row.getField("name").startsWith("B")) {
    count = count + 1;
  }
}
print("count:", count);

common mistakes: initializing count inside for-loop, failing to initialize count,
printing count in every iteration of for-loop, using separate counts for A, B,
but not summing at the end.

Table-3
count1 = 0;
count2 = 0;
table = new SimpleTable("survey.csv");
for (row: table) {
  if (row.getField("color") == "blue" &&
      row.getField("tv") == "game of thrones" &&
      row.getField("gender") == "male") {
    count1 = count1 + 1;
  }

  if (row.getField("color") == "blue" &&
      row.getField("tv") == "game of thrones" &&
      row.getField("gender") == "female") {
    count2 = count2 + 1;
  }
}
print("male:", count1);
print("female:", count2);

common mistakes: not initializing counts, initializing counts inside for-loop,
failing to print, printing inside for-loop, failing to update one of the counts.
