Aim
The objective is to write a program tripView.c that generates an optimal trip on (a
part of) Sydney's railway network based on user preferences.
Input
Railway stations
The first input to your program consists of an integer n > 0, indicating the number of
railway stations on the network, followed by n*2 lines of the form:
railway-station
transfer-time
where the first line is the name of a station and the second line denotes the time – in
minutes – it takes to transfer to a different train at that station.
Here is an example: ./tripView
Size of network: 3HarrisPark
1
TownHall
3
NorthSydney
2
You may assume that:
**3;The input is syntactically correct.
**3;The maximum length (strlen()) of the name of a railway station is 16 and
will not use any spaces.
**3;The transfer time will be a positive integer.
**3;No name will be input more than once.
Hint:
To read a single line with a station name you should use:
scanf("%s", name);
where name is a string, i.e. an array of chars.
Timetables
The next input to your program is an integer m > 0, indicating the number of trains on
any day, followed by m timetables. Each timetable starts with the number s > 1 of
stops followed by s*2 lines of the form:
station
hhmm
meaning that you can get on or off the train at that station at the given time (hh – hour,
mm – minute).
Here is an example:
Number of timetables: 2
Number of stops: 3HarrisPark
0945
TownHall
1020
NorthSydney
1035
Number of stops: 2TownHall
1024
NorthSydney
1033
You may assume that:
The input is syntactically correct.
All times are given as 4 digits and are valid, ranging from 0000 to 2359.
Only train stations that have been input earlier as part of the network will be
used.
The stops are input in the correct temporal order.
Each stop will be visited at most once in a single timetable.
All trains reach their final stop before midnight.
Trip View
The final input to your program are user queries:
From: HarrisPark
To: NorthSydney
Arrive at or before: 1200
As before, you may assume that the input is correct: Two different valid railway
stations followed by a valid time in the form of 4 digits.
Your program should terminate when the user enters "done" when prompted
with From:
From: done
Bye
Stage 1 (3 marks)
Stage 1 requires you to generate a suitable data structure from the input.
Test cases for this stage will only use queries FromStation, ToStation,
ArrivalTime such that:
there exists one, and only one, train that travels
from FromStation to ToStation ;
this train arrives on, or before, the given ArrivalTime ; and
this train is the desired output for the query.
Therefore, at this stage all you need to do is find and output the connection between
the two train stations, including all the stops along the way and the arrival/departure
times.
Here is an example to demonstrate the expected behaviour of your program
for a stage 1 test: ./tripView

Stage 2 (5 marks)
For the next stage, your program should find and output a connection
from FromStation to ToStation that:
**3;may involve one or more train changes;
**3; arrives at ToStation no later than ArrivalTime ; and
**3; leaves as late as possible.
Note that you can get onto a different train at any station, but it is necessary to take
into account the time it takes to change trains at that station.
In all test scenarios for this stage there will be at most one connection that satisfies all
requirements.

If there is no connection that satisfies the requirements, then the output should
be: No connection.
From: HarrisPark
To: TownHall
Arrive at or before: 1015
No connection.
Stage 3 (2 marks)
For the final stage, if there are multiple possible connections with the same latest
departure time, your program should take into account the additional user preference
that:
among all the connections with the latest possible departure time, choose the
one with the shortest overall travel time.
You may assume that there will never be more than one connection with the latest
possible departure time and the shortest overall travel time. Note also that travel time
includes the time it takes to change trains and the waiting time if applicable.

Complexity Analysis (1 mark)
You should include a time complexity analysis for the asymptotic worst-case running
time of your program, in Big-Oh notation, depending on the size of the input:
1. the size of the network, n
2. the number of timetables, m
3. the maximum number of stops on any one timetable, s.
Hints
If you find any of the following ADTs from the lectures useful, then you can, and
indeed are encouraged to, use them with your program:
linked list ADT : list.h, list.c
stack ADT : stack.h, stack.c
queue ADT : queue.h, queue.c
priority queue ADT : PQueue.h, PQueue.c
graph ADT : Graph.h, Graph.c
weighted graph ADT : WGraph.h, WGraph.c
You are free to modify any of the six ADTs for the purpose of the assignment (but
without changing the file names). If your program is using one or more of these
ADTs, you should submit both the header and implementation file, even if you have
not changed them.
Your main program file tripView.c should start with a comment: /* … */ that
contains the time complexity of your program in Big-Oh notation, together with a
short explanation.
Testing
We have created a script that can automatically test your program. To run this test you
can execute the dryrun program that corresponds to this assignment. It expects to find,
in the current directory, the program tripView.c and any of the admissible ADTs
(Graph,WGraph,stack,queue,PQueue,list) that your program is using, even if you
use them unchanged. You can use dryrun as follows:
**24 dryrun tripView
Please note: Passing dryrun does not guarantee that your program is correct. You
should thoroughly test your program with your own test cases.
Submit
For this project you will need to submit a file named tripView.c and,
optionally, any of the ADTs named Graph,WGraph,stack,queue,PQueue,list that
your program is using, even if you have not changed them. You can either
submit through WebCMS3 or use a command line. For example, if your
program uses the Graph ADT and the queue ADT, then you should submit:
give cs**24 assn tripView.c Graph.h Graph.c queue.h queue.c
Do not forget to add the time complexity to your main source code file tripView.c.
You can submit as many times as you like — later submissions will overwrite
earlier ones. You can check that your submission has been received on
WebCMS3 or by using the following command:
**24 classrun -check assn
Marking
This project will be marked on functionality in the first instance, so it is very important
that the output of your program be exactly correct as shown in the examples above.
Submissions which score very low on the automarking will be looked at by a human
and may receive a few marks, provided the code is well-structured and commented.
Programs that generate compilation errors will receive a very low mark, no matter
what other virtues they may have. In general, a program that attempts a substantial part
of the job and does that part correctly will receive more marks than one attempting to
do the entire job but with many errors.
Style considerations include:
Readability
Structured programming
Good commenting
Plagiarism
Group submissions will not be allowed. Your programs must be entirely your own
work. Plagiarism detection software will be used to compare all submissions pairwise
(including submissions for similar assessments in previous years, if applicable) and
serious penalties will be applied, including an entry on UNSW's plagiarism register.
You are not permitted to use code generated with the help of automatic tools such as
GitHub Pilot, ChatGPT, Google Bard.
Do not copy ideas or code from others
Do not use a publicly accessible repository or allow anyone to see your code
Code generated by GitHub Pilot, ChatGPT, Google Bard and similar tools
will be treated as plagiarism.

it is dealt with at UNSW:
