Question: / / Define the Colour enum datatype Colour = Red | White | Blue / / Method: FlagSort method FlagSort ( flag: array ) returns
Define the Colour enum
datatype Colour Red White Blue
Method: FlagSort
method FlagSortflag: array returns white: int, blue: int
modifies flag
ensures white blue flag.Length
ensures
i :: i white flagi Red
ensures forall i :: white i blue flagi White
ensures forall i :: blue i flag.Length flagi Blue
var r :; End of red section
var w :; End of white section
var b : flag.Length; Start of blue section
var i :;
Initialize invariants
while i b
invariant r w i b flag.Length
invariant forall j :: j r flagj Red
invariant forall j :: r j w flagj White
invariant forall j :: b j flag.Length flagj Blue
invariant forall j :: w j b flagj Red && flagj White
if flagi Red
Swap current element with end of Red section
flagi flagr : flagr flagi;
r : r ;
w : w ;
i : i ;
else if flagi White
Extend White section
w : w ;
i : i ;
else Blue
Swap current element with start of Blue section
b : b ;
flagi flagb : flagb flagi;
Do not increment i here, as the new element at i must be reevaluated
white : w;
blue : b;
Method: FlagSortx
method FlagSortxflag: array
modifies flag
ensures isSortedflag
var : FlagSortflag;
Predicate: isSorted
predicate isSortedflag: array
reads flag
forall i :: i flag.Length
flagi Red flagi in Red White, Blue &&
flagi White flagi in White Blue &&
flagi Blue flagi Blue
Validator for FlagSortx
method ValidateFlagSortxflag: array
modifies flag
ensures isSortedflag
FlagSortxflag;
assert isSortedflag;
this is my code and this is the error Im getting;
The task involves solving a sorting problem with coloured balls using a modified version of the Dijkstra strategy:
Create a function that sorts an array of coloured balls into the following order: unsorted balls first followed by red balls then white balls and finally blue balls This function should return two values: the end position of the white section and the start position of the blue section.
Modify the sorting function so that it no longer returns any values and directly sorts the array. Then, verify that this function works correctly and does not corrupt the array.
For verification:
Create a check a predicate that ensures the array is sorted in the order: red ballswhite balls and blue balls The check should not directly compare the data but confirm the correct arrangement of colours.
