Programming Exercise #3

In a string of N characters, calculate the frequencies of repeated patterns, e.g., given "AUGCCCGTAUACGTA", one would get CGTA:2, CGT:2, GTA:2, CG:2, GT:2, TA:2, AU:2, CC:2. You do not need to display the information, only get the data in a format from which it can be extracted (hopefully in a pattern that is of order less than the algorithm). You may assume that only the letters A-Z will be used to make the given string.

It may help to review Programming Exercises #1 and #2.

Remember, the goal is to make this as efficient as possible with graal script.
Your algorithm will be ranked first by big-O notation, then by runtime speed.

Do we need to find every pattern possible, or just ones specified?

For example,

findAllPatterns( n )

or something like

findNumber( n, pattern )

Assuming that the algorithm should find the number of occurrences of a string in another string. Which it shouldn't.

PHP Code:
function findFrequencyOfPattern(haystackneedle)
{
  
temp.occurrences 0;
  for (
temp.i=0temp.i<haystack.length() - needle.length() + 1temp.i++) {
    if (
haystack.substring(temp.ineedle.length()) == needletemp.occurrences++;
  }
  return 
temp.occurrences;

PHP Code:
temp.haystack "AUGCCCGTAUACGTA";
temp.needles = {"CGTA""CGT""GTA""CG""GT""TA""AU""CC"};
sendrpgmessage(temp.haystack);
for (
temp.needletemp.needles) {
  
sendrpgmessage(temp.needle ": " findFrequencyOfPattern(temp.haystacktemp.needle));

Outputs:
PHP Code:
AUGCCCGTAUACGTA
CGTA
2
CGT
2
GTA
2
CG
2
GT
2
TA
2
AU
2
CC

Okay, I have mine finished. It takes about 5 seconds to run (go figure!) but it gets the right answer, at least from what I have seen.

PHP Code:
StringAUOccurances2
String
CCOccurances2
String
CGOccurances2
String
CGTOccurances2
String
CGTAOccurances2
String
GTOccurances2
String
GTAOccurances2
String
TAOccurances
This is what it outputs in RC.

The script is very inefficient and slow, but it works ...

NOTE: You will need to change the [] in the format to a percent sign, it won't let me post without giving me a bad request error. Look for this line:
echo( format( "String: []s, Occurances: []s", rc[0], rc[1] ) );

PHP Code:
function onCreated()
{
  
temp.includeSingle false// Include ones that only appear once?
  
  
temp."AUGCCCGTAUACGTA";
  
temp.na stringToArrayList);
    
  
temp.occ = {};
  
  for ( 
temp.na )
  {
    
temp.fr findFrequencyn);
    if ( 
temp.fr == && includeSingle == false )
    {
      continue;
    }
    
occ.add( { rtemp.fr } );
  }
  
  for ( 
temp.rc occ )
  {
    echo( 
format"String: []s, Occurances: []s"rc[0], rc[1] ) );
  }
}
function 
stringToArrayListstr )
{
  
temp.= {};
  for ( 
temp.char 0char str.length(); char ++ )
  {
    for ( 
temp.charlen 2charlen str.length() +  charcharlen ++ )
    {
      
temp.count ++;
      
temp.newText str.substringcharcharlen );
      if ( 
newText != str && p.index( @ newText ) == -)
      {
        
p.addnewText );
      }
      if ( 
count >= 100 )
      {
        
sleep.05 );
        
count 0;
      }
    }
  }
  return 
p;
}
function 
findFrequencystrphrase )
{
  
temp.0;
  for ( 
temp.char 0char str.length(); char ++ )
  {
    for ( 
temp.charlen 1charlen str.length() +  charcharlen ++ )
    {
      
temp.count ++;
      
temp.newText str.substringcharcharlen );
      if ( 
newText != str )
      {
        if ( 
newText == phrase )
        {
          
++;
        }
      }
      if ( 
count >= 100 )
      {
        
sleep.05 );
        
count 0;
      }
    }
  }
  return 
o;

This looks for all possible combinations, then finds how often they occur.

Also, if a mod wants to delete my last post in this thread they can, it won't let me edit it or delete it anymore for some reason, gives a Bad Request error.

This is closer (), but no doubt we can do better. ~O(n³)

Tiny tip: If you post a "normal" post without any % signs, you can just edit it with quick edit afterwards and add them. Won't give an error.

Why isn't strings of length one considered valid patterns?

A solid color does not a pattern make.

What the hell are you talking about?

Increased speed of script:
PHP Code:
function findpatterns(str) {
  
temp.time timevar2;
  
temp.outc = {};
  
temp.out = {};
  for (
temp.2temp.temp.str.length(); temp.++) {
    for (
temp.0temp.temp.str.length(); temp.++) {
      if (
temp.temp.temp.str.length() - 1) {
        continue;
      }
      
temp.sub temp.str.substring(temp.etemp.i);
      
temp.temp.str.positions(temp.sub);
      if (
temp.p.size() > 1) {
        if (
temp.outc.index(temp.sub) < 0) {
          
temp.outc.add(temp.sub);
          
temp.out.add(temp.sub ":" temp.p.size());
        }
      }
    }
  }
  echo(
"Time: " timevar2 temp.time);
  return 
temp.out;

  1. In mathematics, O(f) is for all terms order f and above. f is usually a function where the parameter is much less than 1 (error terms).
  2. In computer science O(f) is the major factor in determining algorithm efficiency. f is a function of n, which is a whole number.

For example, the quicksort algorithm is O(n log n) [for every item to sort, it takes log base 2 of n loops to find its place].
