Instructions: Digital submission in PDF format (you can use Word
or Markdown to create these and then convert to PDF). Your
submission must include all R code.
I will be testing all of your code by copying and pasting into my R
session, so make sure it works. Your solutions should be a
narrative that incorporates R code (i.e. tell a story). R code by
itself is not sufficient. This must be entirely an original work
done by you. Copying someone else’s work (possibly found online) is
not acceptable.
Assignment:
1) In homework 2, you gave the name of a site you would like to scrape. Follow through with this (you may change the site if you wish). The point of this exercise will be to ultimately provide an interesting visualization of the data which needs to be included in your solution. For this problem, the data must be scraped. Provide why you chose this site, and how someone would find your visualization useful (in other words, justify why anyone would care about this).

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time. References: |
Merck is one of world's biggest pharmaceutical companies. It originated in Germany late in the seventeenth century with operations in the United States starting in the late nineteenth century. As a business, Merck pursues profitable ventures; however, they have established an impressive track record of charitable giving with hundreds of millions in donations. |

There is a desperate need for theorists and researchers to generate and refine a new breed of learning-focused instructional design theories that help educators and trainers to meet those needs, (i.e., that focus on learning and that foster development of initiative, teamwork, thinking skills, and diversity). The health of instructional-design theory also depends on its ability to involve stakeholders in the design process. References: |

In examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. What looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents." References: |
Decisions that look like the result of smart strategic thinking could, instead, be attributed to a culture that values opportunistic experimenting and intentional mishaps. Collins and Porras (2002) point out their surprise at finding that many of the visionary companies that they researched "made some of their best moves not by detailed planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident" (p. 141).

But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education? While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined.

A communication channel is the means by which messages get from one individual to another. The nature of the information-exchange relationship between a pair of individuals determines the conditions under which a source will or will not transmit the innovation to the receiver and the effect of such a transfer. References: |
Rogers places great importance on the sharing of information about an innovation. He defines a communication channel as "the means by which messages get from one individual to another" (p. 18). He describes two general media channels of communication: mass media and interpersonal; and two scopes of channels: localite and cosmopolite. References: |

A teacher is one who guides or leads. To guide does not necessarily mean to instruct directly. We often think of teaching as direct instruction (presenting information, asking questions, giving feedback, demonstrating some procedure,evaluating student progress, and so on). But a teacher can guide without instructing directly. A good example is the Montessori system of education. In a Montessori school, most of what a child learns is through interacting with a variety of curriculum materials in a particular context. A Montessori teacher does much less direct instruction than do teachers in traditional schools. References: | Teachers should be guides or leaders. In the role of a guide, a teacher does less presenting of information, demonstrating and providing feedback. For example, in a Montessori school, most student learning occurs through interaction with a variety of class materials, rather than interaction with a teacher. |

You will write a program that prompts the user to enter a 7-digit phone numbers, and finds the 3- and 4-letter words that map to the phone number, according to the restrictions outlined earlier. A sample run:
unixlab% java MapNumbers
Enter name of dictionary file: words10683
Enter a test word (3 letters): cat
Test word maps to 228
Enter telephone number (7 digits, no 0's or 1's, negative to quit): 2282273
Options for first 3 digits:
act
cat
bat
Options for next 4 digits:
base
card
care
case
bare
Enter telephone number (7 digits, no 0's or 1's, negative to quit): 2232243
Options for first 3 digits:
bad
ace
Options for next 4 digits:
acid
cage
Enter telephone number (7 digits, no 0's or 1's, negative to quit): -1
unixlab%
More formally, your program should do this:
Prompt the user for the name of a dictionary file
Set up the PhoneMapper class and methods (see details below)
Prompt the user to enter a 3-letter test word (mostly for testing early versions)
Display the number that maps to that word
Prompt the user to enter a 7-digit telephone number
(quit when negative number is read)
Use the PhoneMapper class to map 3-letter and 4-letter words to the number
Display all 3-letter words that map to the first 3 digits of the number
Display all 4-letter words that map to the last 4 digits of the number
Prompt the user to enter another 7-digit telephone number
(quit when negative number is read)
PROVIDED SKELETON PROGRAM: *****************************************************************
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MapNumbersSkeleton {
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
// prompt user for dictionary file
System.out.print("Enter name of dictionary file: ");
String fName = input.nextLine();

********************************************************
Step 1: Fill in the constructor for the PhoneMapper class. There’s only one constructor:
PhoneMapper(String fileName, int wordLength) throws Exception
filename is the name of the dictionary file to be used, wordLength is the length of the words to be extracted from the dictionary file. All words of length wordLength are added to the wordList[] array of Strings. (Note: this part uses code from Part A!)
An example: suppose we instantiate a PhoneMapper object:
PhoneMapper smallMap = new PhoneMapper(“words5”, 3);
words5 is the short test file we looked at in Part A. After the PhoneMapper constructor returns, smallMap.wordList[0] = “cat”, smallMap.wordList[1] = “dog”, and smallMap.numWords = 2.
Step 2: Fill in the method findTelNum():
int findTelNum(String inStr)
findTelNum() maps each character of inStr to a numeric digit according to the rule described earlier for telephone numbers, assembles the digits into a 3 or 4-digit integer, and returns the integer corresponding to the string.
An example:
String str = “bad”;
int x = findTelNum(str); // x = 223
Note that there’s some code in the main method of the public class for testing findTelNum().
Step 3: Fill in the method findWords():
String [] findWords(int num)
num is the 3 or 4-digit integer from the telephone number. findWords() checks every word in wordList[], by calling findTelNum(); if a word in wordList[] maps to num, that word is added to a list of mapped words. After all words in wordList[] that map to num have been copied to the list of mapped words, the list of mapped words is returned. Make sure the array returned has the correct length. (Hint: add the mapped words to a very large array first. After you are done adding mapped words, copy the very large array to a smaller array, with the correct length.)
An example: suppose we use words10683 as the dictionary file. The number 223 maps to two words in the file: bad and ace. When we run these lines of code:
PhoneMapper bigMap = new PhoneMapper(“words10683”, 3);
String [] s = bigMap.findWords(223);
s[0] = “bad”, s[1] = “ace”, and s.length = 2.
Step 4: Fill in the rest of the main loop in the main method in the public class, to find and report the 4-letter words that map to the last 4 digits of the telephone number entered by the user.
