  2. Introduction to Project 2 • Command Line Syntax java Spell word -- source file hard wired into program • Run Demo

  3. Basic Algorithm • Look up word in dictionary • Comparison is case insensitive • If found List the word Else if a similar word is found List the most similar word Else Indicate no word found • See project description for syntax • The input word must consist of 1 or more letters

  4. Dictionary Must Be Represented as Trie • A tree like structure defined recursively • Root node • Internal nodes (sub-Tries) • Leaf nodes have no sub-Tries • Each node contains • A count • A value > 0 represents the number times a word in the dictionary (represented by a path through the tree to the current node) appears in the dictionary. • 26 Sub-Tries having the values ‘a’..’z’ • The Trie (or root of the Trie) contains • The number of words in the dictionary • The number of nodes in the dictionary

  5. Trie Operations • Constructor • Methods • add(String word) • find(String word); may return null • intgetWordCount() • IntgetNodeCount()

  6. What Does It Mean for a Word to Be Similar to Another Word • Edit Distance • Deletion distance • Transposition distance • Alteration distance • Insertion distance • Edit Distance 1 and 2

  7. Making the Output Deterministic • One word is “more similar” than another word Based on the following priorities • A word that is has an edit distance of one has a higher priority than one that is has an edit distance of 2 • If both words have the same edit distance then select the one that appears more frequently in the dictionary • If two words appear equally often in the dictionary then pick the one the is alphabetically first.

  8. Additional String Operations • s.toLowerCase() • s.toUpperCase() • StringBuilder • Building strings using “+” is expensive • StringBuilderstrBuilder = new StringBuilder() • strBuilder.append(String) • Can be anything that has a toString method or atomic type • strBuilder.delete(int, int) • strBuilder.setCharAt(int,char) • Code Examples

  9. Interfaces • Interaction contract • At any place in a java program you an have variables of the interface type • Object in variables must be instance of an implementing class • Keyword “implements” • Like .h file in concept (conceptually similar to abstract class) • Contains • Constants (static and final) • Method signatures • You must provide an implementing class

  10. Interface Example • StudentListInterface.java: The interface • ArrayStudentList.java: implements StudentListInterface.java • ArrayListStudentList.java: implements StudentListInterface.java • TestingStudentListInterface.java

  11. Interesting Addition of For Loops • for(String s = “”; s != null; s = f.readLine()) … • Use of finally • Example Code • testFile – put in same directory as Example Code
