Hi Everyone, I am currently work on a program CountWords. I use JCreator, the program should

A)Count total words that are in a text file.

B)Count special cases words used

C)Count top 30 words that occur most frequently, store them in descending order

*Special Cases are
sixty-three counts as one word
joyous - sparkling counts as two words, the hyphen(-) will have a blank space on each side
'tis counts as one word
can't counts as one word
Capitalize words and uncapitalized words are the same

So far, I finally finished reading a text file and print out the numbers inside the text file

Can somebody help me step by step? I am trying to print out words from a text file, not numbers.....I've only gone to print out numbers so far, but I don't know how to print out words...

Thankyou in advance for reply

I'm a little pressed for time at the moment, so I unfrotunately can't walk you through this step by step. On the other hand, I can give you basic guidelines to look up that will hopefully help you.

Look up the Comparable interface, the Collections class, ArrayLists, and the split() method under the String class. If you still need further help tomorrow, I'll be glad to walk you through.

thankyou for helping me, but how do I look up those classes?

I'm planning on learning java next month, but has that ever stopped me before?

[php]import java.util.*;
import chn.util.*;

class Countwords
{
private int myHowMany;
private int index = 0;
private int [] myList=new int[400];

public void readFile(String fileName)
{
FileInput inFile= new FileInput(fileName);
myList[index]=inFile.readInt();

while(inFile.hasMoreTokens())
{
index++;
myList[index]=inFile.readInt();
}

int count = 0;
for(int i=0;i<=index;i++) {
if(myList[i] == " ") count++;
if(myList[(i==0)?0:i-1] == "-" or myList[i+1] == "-") count--;
}

myHowMany = count;
}

public void printFile()
{
int x;

for(x=0;x<=index;x++)
System.out.print(myList[x]);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Number of words is: ");
System.out.print(myHowMany);
}
}

class driver
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Countwords driver = new Countwords();

driver.readFile("countwords.txt");
driver.printFile();
}
}[/php]

If you look up Javadocs on google, you'll find those.

Collections
ArrayList
String
Comparable
