CPS 109 – Assignment 3
In this assignment, we are going to implement a custom list called CauchyList. A CauchyList
is a standard Python list with some arithmetic operations associated to it. A description of the
CauchyList class is in the following section. Your program is going to be one Python file, called
assignment3.py, that contains the CauchyList class.
CauchyList class
Instance variables
• p: an integer that is used as the modulus. This means that all operations are done mod p.
• content: a list of integers.
Methods
• __init__: accepts an integer p. Initializes the instance variable p to p and the instance
variable content to an empty list.
• generate_random: accepts an integer n. Populates content with n random integers in the
range [0, p – 1].
• length: returns the length of this CauchyList.
• get: accepts an integer i. If i is smaller than the length of the list then returns the i-th
element. Otherwise, returns 0.
• __add__: returns the sum of this CauchyList and the input CauchyList. The sum of two
CauchyLists is defined component-wise. That means if a, b are two CauchyList then we
define c = a + b by setting c.content[i] = a.content[i] + b.content[i] where the addition is
done mod p. This is a special method that is called to evaluate expressions of the form a
+ b. We have seen other special methods such as __str__ and __lt__ in the lectures. For
example, __lt__ is called to evaluate expressions of the form a < b. This method should be able to handle CauchyLists of different lengths. When adding two lists of length m and n, where m > n, the resulting list should be of length m and the higher
elements of shorter list is assumed to be zero. Hint: you can use the get method for this.
If the two CauchyLists have different values of p, this method should raise a ValueError
exception.
• __sub__: similar to __add__ except that it is called to evaluate expressions of the form a – b.
• __mul__: returns the product of this CauchyList and the input CauchyList. Suppose that a,
b are two CauchyLists. Then the product c = a ∗ b is defined as follows:
c[i] = a[0] ∗ b[i] + a[1] ∗ b[i – 1] + a[2] ∗ b[i – 2] + · · · + a[i] ∗ b[0]
where we denoted a.content[k] by a[k] for simplicity. Remember, c[i] must be reduced mod p
at the end. Product of two CauchyLists of lengths m and n is a CauchyList of length m +
n – 1. So the index i in c[i] can be larger than the lengths of a and b. You can use the get
method to avoid IndexError.

If the two CauchyLists have different values of p, this method should raise a ValueError
exception. If the second argument is an integer, not a list, Then this method performs a
scalar product which is much simpler. That is, if b is an integer then c[i] = a[i] ∗ b. This
allows us to be able to, for example, evaluate an expression of the form a ∗ 65.
• __str__: returns a string representation of the CauchyList in the following format:
p: p
length: length
content: content
Testing
You can test your program with the test.py file. Open a terminal and run
python test.py
Submission
You only need to submit assignment3.py to D2L. DO NOT copy and paste the code into D2L,
upload the file!
Plagiarism detection
You are to work alone when writing your code. You can discuss general ideas with your classmates,
but you cannot copy code or develop code together nor take code from the web. We will be using the
Measure of Software Similarity (MOSS) to identify cases of possible plagiarism; see the following
link for details: http://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/moss. Note, MOSS can detect changing
identifiers and rearranging code. The Department of Computer Science takes the act of plagiarism
very seriously. Those caught plagiarizing (both originators and copiers) will be sanctioned.
