Thread: Cryptogram Program help!

I have to write a program that will solve the string below that contains a cryptogram. I'm not really sure where to start. Any suggestions?







public class CryptoSolverSolution {

public static void main(String[] args){

double[] freq = {146,7,36,59,134,33,20,54,119,24,4,63,31,109,102,3 4,1,49,95,103,35,26,16,2,10,0};
String cryptogram = "QYUY (BKFCKNWBYK: QYGY) BW YK BWTYKF CS BKFCKNWBY.

/* CODE HERE */

Is that all the information the teacher gave you about cryptograms and how to solve them?

doing a quick google search I found a solver that did solve the string but the code was quite extensive and the algorithm involved seems way beyond a simple class assignment... This is why I feel like you might have left out some more information from your instructor.

Sorry here is a what he said:


Your job is to complete the program so that it will solve the cryptogram, and print the decoded string.

Your solution must be a complete class, enclosing main.
Please keep the name of the class as CryptoSolver.

A suggestion: Get the complete solution running to your satisfaction in your Java development environment.
Then copy the source code to your clipboard and paste the entire text in the box below.
(note: do not use any include statements in your submission).
