Thread: JAVA HELP PLEASEEEEEEEE

For this assignment you are to write a program that handles text files. The assignment requires three classes (plus library classes); we've given you two - FreqStudy, the driver, and another class, WordCount.
FreqStudy.java

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class FreqStudy{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
  {
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("enter file name");
    String fileName = scan.next();
    Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("enter words to search for");
    System.out.println("enter lower case, separated by spaces");
    String wordString = scan2.nextLine();
    WordFreq f = new WordFreq(fileName,wordString);
    f.readLines();
    f.reportFrequencies();
  }
}

WordCount class

public class WordCount{
 
  private String word;
  private int count;
 
  public WordCount(String w){
    word = w;
    count = 0;
  }
 
  public String getWord(){
    return word;}
 
   public int getCount(){
    return count;}
 
  public void incCount(){count++;}
 
  public String toString() {
    return(word +  " --- " + count);
  }
 
  public boolean equals(Object other){
    WordCount i = (WordCount)other;
    return (this.word.equals(i.word));
  }
}

As demonstrated in the example run above, an external text file name is entered first. Then any number of individual words are entered, all lower case, and separated by spaces. After doing its analysis, the program then displays a chart that gives the frequencies in the text of the indicated words, to four decimal places. Thus 2.42% of all of the words in the Heart of Darkness text file are "I", 1.33% are "he", and so forth. Pretty clearly Heart of Darkness is narrated in the first person, and is mostly about men.

Further requirements and tips:

* you MUST use an array of WordCount objects to keep track of the occurrences of the indicated words.

* Use printf from Chapter 5 to format your output.

* If s is a String, then this String class method call:
s.split(" "); // this is a single space surrounded by quote marks

returns an array of strings that consists of the tokens (separated by white space) in s. For example, given
String s = "i he his she hers";
String[] words = s.split(" ");


Then words is this five element array of strings: {i, he, his, she, hers}

At the course website we've provided some tips for solving this problem, and in addition we've provided some text files that you might want to experiment with. Thus we urge you to check the ProgramNotes link at the course website for further information about the assignment.

In the box below, enter your WordFreq code. Be sure to comment your code. (As usual, do not add/use additional import statements)

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
 
public class WordFreq extends Echo{
private String wordString;
private int ct = 0;
private String total = "";
private WordCount[]words = new WordCount[8];
private String[]count;
private String[]wordString2;
private String s;
 
public WordFreq(String f, String w)throws IOException{
super(f);
wordString = w;
}
 
public void processLine(String line){
wordString2 = wordString.split(" ");
s = line;
total += s + " ";
count = total.split(" ");
for(int j = 0; j < count.length; j++){
words[j] = new WordCount(count[j]);
}
for(int j = 0; j < wordString2.length; j++){
if(wordString2[j].equals(words[j].getWord())){
words[j].incCount();
}
}
}

This is the code I have this far but I know that it is wayyy offf



CAN'TTT even begin to explain how confused I am. Someone please help!

I am working on the last code that I posted. I am trying to read in a handful of words on one line. Then every time you read in a new line form a file I want to check if any of the words you're reading in is one of those. If it is, you count it (and throw it away) otherwise you just throw it away.

And he requirements that I posted above, Im trying to be specific but I am just so SO confused.

Yes, it is supposed to use text files then count the words you enter in that file. But when I enter which words to count it doesn't work. I don't know exactly which part of my code if wrong for this though. Sorry, confusing I know.

Yes the code reads in the words that I type in the Java prompt to box.

how would you check that?

you would need to scan the other document to search for the words you are looking for

read the line of words. Then go through each word...? IDK AH

i posted the assignment above. I would ask more specific questions but I am so confused I really don't even know what to ask. We are pulling from files for example (Document.txt) and the program is supposed to search those files for the words we type into the box and count how many times they occur.

no you can search any words you want. The words can be typed into the prompt box when you run the code. The scanner is used to create this.
