Question

how would I be able to implement a hash table into a spell checker program while using a StringNode class in java that checks for spelling mistakes?

Answer 1

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class SpellCheck {

    private Dictionary dict;
    final static String filePath = "d:/desktop/words.txt";
    final static char[] alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".toCharArray();

SpellCheck() {
        dict = new Dictionary();
        dict.build(filePath);

    }

    void run() {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        boolean done = false;
        String input;

if (input.equals("")) {
                break;
            }
            if (dict.contains(input)) {
                System.out.println("\n" + input + " is spelled correctly");
            } else {
                System.out.print("is not spelled correctly, ");
                System.out.println(printSuggestions(input));

 }
        }
    }

   

String printSuggestions(String input) {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        ArrayList<String> print = makeSuggestions(input);
        if (print.size() == 0) {
            return "and I have no idea what word you could mean.\n";
        }
        sb.append("perhaps you meant:\n");
        for (String s : print) {
            sb.append("\n  -" + s);
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
