One of n lines in a file: Difference between revisions

{{task}}

A method of choosing a line randomly from a file:

Is to:

 

 

;Task:

# Create a function/method/routine called <code>one_of_n</code> that given <code>n</code>, the number of actual lines in a file, follows the algorithm above to return an integer - the line number of the line chosen from the file. <br>The number returned can vary, randomly, in each run.

# Print and show how many times each of the 10 lines is chosen as a rough measure of how well the algorithm works.

 

Note: You may choose a smaller number of repetitions if necessary, but mention this up-front.

A million iterations will take a very very long time to run. I suggest cranking the end value of J down to 1000 or less in line 20, and run this at full speed in a modern Apple II emulator. Initializing with RND(0) in line 10, seeds the RND function to be random, otherwise you may see the same results every time.

 

20 FOR J = 1 TO 1000000 : REMMAYBE TRY 100 ON A 1MHZ APPLE II

120 IF INT(RND(1) * I) = 0 THEN C = I

The function ''rand-seq-elem'' actually implements the algorithm; ''one-of-n'' uses it to select a random element from the sequence (1 ... n). (Though they weren't automatically highlighted when I wrote this, ''rand-int'', ''second'', and ''frequencies'' and ''println'' are also standard functions)

(let [f (fn [[k old] new]

[(inc k) (if (zero? (rand-int k)) new old)])]

(let [countmap (frequencies (repeatedly 1000000 #(one-of-n 10)))]

(doseq [[n cnt] (sort countmap)]

''random-line'' uses an input stream. <code>"/etc/passwd" ascii [ random-line . ] with-file-reader</code> would print a random line from /etc/passwd.

''one-of-n'' wants to use the same algorithm. Factor has duck typing, so ''one-of-n'' creates a mock object that quacks like an input stream. This mock object only responds to ''stream-readln'', not the other methods of stream protocol. This works because ''random-line'' only needs ''stream-readln''. The mock response is a line number instead of a real line.

This implementation also implements line buffering, since the built-in line handling does not work quite how I want it to work. That said, if a line is too large (many gigabytes, for example), the system will crawl to a halt when the line is read.

gp can't read individual lines from a file (PARI would be needed for that) but it can do the simulation easily. The <code>random()</code> function produces high-quality pseudorandom numbers (via Brent's [http://maths-people.anu.edu.au/~brent/pub/pub224.html XORGEN]) so the output passes a chi-square test easily (p = 0.848).

A Ref is a strong reference to a value, Ref.set(value) sets the Ref, Ref.value gets the value. A pump pumps data through a list of functions into a sink, Void.Skip skips this value (ie same as continue in a loop).
