[2 marks each] Please keep your explanations of each word brief so that your whole answer to this question remains a reasonable size: you are not expected to produce a detailed explanation or comprehensive illustration. Consider the design of a Java application for the automated marking of exam questions on Java. The answer to each question consists of Java source code. Your application should read the text of each answer from a file, and check that actual lines of code expected by the examiner are included at any point in the answer. The examiners will want to calculate the average mark (out of 20) for each question, and also the total mark (out of 100) achieved by each candidate in a paper consisting of 5 questions. Model answers should take the form of an executable Java class, for example a class called question1model might contain the following method: protected void defineAnswer() { expectedLines.add(“import java.io.*;”); expectedLines.add(“public class helloWorld”); expectedLines.add(“system.out.println(“hello world”);”); } Provide a UML diagram showing the classes in the application, and write the basic code for each class, in order to achieve the above fied to Java fields and methods.

At each time step all cells transform simultaneously. If a cell is dead, it becomes alive if it had (just before this time step) exactly three live neighbours. If it is alive, it becomes dead unless it has two or three live neighbours. In this question, locations beyond a 1000 × 1000 board are to be treated as permanently dead.

[2 marks] (b) For a location (i, j) on the board, give code that will decide whether the next state of that cell should be alive or dead. Make it clear how your code copes if the cell is at the boundary of the board. [4 marks] (c) Referring to part (b), write code that takes one board representing the current state of the game and fills in a second board-array with the state arrived at after one time step. What would happen if instead of using two arrays you wrote the new cell state directly back, using just a single copy of the board? [3 marks] (d) Re-work your solution to part (c) so that you can perform a time step using just one board. You may need to use a 1000-element vector to store information in a way that makes the update safe. [7 marks] (e) All the code you have written so far uses an array of boolean values. Some programmers would instead use an array of int values and treat each of the 32 bits in each int as giving the status of a cell. Suppose you have a 2-dimensional array of integers of size 1024 by 32 (that size is chosen so the array of integers may be viewed as a 1024 by 1024 array of bits): give code to retrieve a bit from a given position (i, j).
