a series of text processing methods
For the sake of this lab, words are not and do not have punctuation.
Four phases of text processing to do. Write a method for each one.
public void print()
Write a method that reads the contents of a file, line by line, and creates a String object,
making sure all the newlines are preserved. use BufferedReader to do the reading.
public WCResult wc(String input)
commonly called "wc"; count the number of characters in a file, number of words, number of lines.
Returns an object of class WCResult (a POJO) which consists of the three longs you counted.
public FrequencyMap wordFrequency(String input)
word count. words in a file, produce a map with (String word, Long numOfTimes). FrequencyMap returning a HashMap might be what you're
looking for here, or maybe something else.
public FrequencyMap letterFrequency(String input)
letter frequency, write a program that collects the frequency of each letter within the input.
A WCResult is a class which contains the three Long number created when a text file is wc'd.
A FrequencyMap is a class which is a POJO that contains a map of the things tracked as a key (a String in this case),
and the number of times it appears in the input.
Input like The Blue Fox is blue. would produce a map like
| Word | Count |
|---|---|
| the | 1 |
| blue | 2 |
| fox | 1 |
| is | 1 |
The class would also have a method public double frequency(String word) which returns the relative frequency of the
word in the input text.
So frequency("blue") would return 0.4 as a result.
This means you need to track the total number of words in the input,
as frequency is numberOfOccurences / totalNumberOfWords
