The purpose of this problem is to gain familiarity with the dictionary ADT. A homophone is one of two or more words that are pronounced alike but are different in meaning or spelling; for example, the words “two”, “too”, and “to”.

Write a Java program that uses one of the implementations of the dictionary interface (UALDictionary or OALDictionary on Moodle) to find the word that has the most homophones.

Do not use data structures that we have not covered so far in the course. The file “cmudict.0.7a.txt” in the Dictionaries folder on Moodle contains a pronunciation dictionary downloaded from

http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict

The page also contains a detailed description of the pronunciation dictionary. The file consists of lines of the form

ABUNDANT AH0 B AH1 N D AH0 N T

The first string is the word, which is followed by one or more phonemes (or phones) that describe the pronunciation of the word. There are 39 phonemes occurring in North American English that are used in the dictionary. The collection of 39 symbols is known as the Arpabet, for the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), which developed it in the 1970’s in connection with research on speech understanding.

The Dictionaries directory on Moodle contains several files you can use. UALDictionary.java is a class that implements the dictionary interface using an unordered array list. The array list stores (key, value) pairs as described in the class KVpair.java. Pronunciation.java is a class that stores and manages access to a (word, phonemes) pair.

There is also a program Homophones.java that shows how you can read in the cmu dictionary (skipping comments and so on). You can modify that program so that when you read in a pronunciation entry you store it in an appropriate dictionary. Call your program MostHomophones.

The output is a first line containing a single integer n, which is the largest number of homophones. The n homophones follow on the next n lines, one word per line.

I want another 600 word discussion on 3-methyl-3-pentanol, here is the attached example if you need an idea. I don't want it to be the same.

"Discussion:

In this experiment, the 3-methyl-3-pentanol solution was being used in the dehydration process. The alcohol was a five carbons aliphatic hydrocarbon which one of the hydrogen atoms, H was substituted by one hydroxyl group, OH^-. Due to the low melting point, the pentanol appear in liquid form at room temperature. The dehydration process of alcohol converted pentanol which the hydroxyl group, OH^-was removed to become pentene. Pantene was a five carbons aliphatic hydrocarbon with a single double bond in the molecule. The solution was added with concentrated phosphoric acid in a 5-ml vial and was mixed together by swirling. The phosphoric acid was added as catalyze as such increased the rate of reaction in dehydration without affected the particular chemical reaction. The spin vain added into the solution in order to prevent over boiling of the solution.

The heating of mixture was carried out in a fractional distillation apparatus. As the mixture was heated, the alkene and water were produced as the products in the reaction. Besides, the side product and impurities of the reaction was being produced at the same time. The temperature of mixture when heating was fluctuated. During the temperature 80°C, the temperature of mixture dropped suddenly by 2°C and the temperature remained at 78°C constantly for few seconds. This was because some impurities or side products were being produced in the mixture which might had the boiling point of 78°C. The temperature of mixture dropped suddenly because the heat being was absorbed which used to break down the bonding of the side products. When the boiling point was reached, then temperature of mixture remained constant as the state of the side products are converted from liquid form to gaseous form. The temperature of mixture was increased until 107°C after all the side products were being converted.The temperature of mixture was reached to maximum at 107°C. This temperature was known as the activation temperature which the pentanol started to be dehydrated. In all the distillation process, some of the product was being lost since it washoled up in the apparatus which reduce the product yield. In order to maximize the yield, the mixture was continued to be heated at higher temperature range which more than the boiling point of pentanol. When the mixture was heated at 90°C-100°C, the water in the mixture pushed over the products into the receiving vial along the condenser. The products produced were collected in the same receiving vial.

Then, the receiving vial containing pentene, water and small amount of the impurities. Two layers liquid were presented in the receiving vial, one drop of distilled water was added into vial in order to determine the location of aqueous layer. Since the water droplet mixed with the lower layer, so the upper layer was determined as cloudy solution while the lower layer was aqueous layer. The upper cloudy layer was pentene with some impurities and water inside. The lower aqueous layer was removed and discarded. But, that is not easy to remove all the water in the receiving vial. So, anhydrous calcium chloride was being added. The purpose of adding of anhydrous calcium chloride was used to remove residual water in the organic solvent. It is known as drying agent in the organic solvent which are not dissolves in the solvent but drying the solvent. The calcium chloride clumped together with the water droplets as it solidified them. In another word, it reacted with water to form hydrates which was their preferred form when water was available. An excess drying agent should be used to ensure that all the water in solvent was removed. If the water remains in the materials collected, it could interfere with the analysis.Water had been successfully removed from the organic compound mixture, so it was very important to not reintroduce water into the mixture. The final distillation of unpurified 3-methyl-3-pentene must be done very carefully to obtain purified products. "

Please write a 300-word essay describing a business-related problem using the information below.

Think about, decide upon and describe a business-related problem you would like to resolve. The first step is to know and to clearly articulate a "Problem Statement" and a "Problem Question".The problem needs to be narrowed down to the extent resolution is possible. If problems are too general, you end up discovering all kinds of details and getting to a result, a solution, a resolution can be overwhelming. Keep it simple.

Describe in detail information about this problem, who cares about the problem, what people/roles are involved, why this problem needs to be resolved, what is the purpose of giving effort, time, and resources to address the problem.  Sometimes this process is referred to as a "Work Plan" although we will add the considerations regarding Anticipating the Audience and Issues in Step 2.
