The starting program
Deadline for Assignment 1: 4:00pm Thursday 17th November 2011
The starting program is basically the same as the starting program of exercise k)
of the Glossary exercises (it is highly recommended to complete the previous exercises before downloading the starting program for the assignment). This program comprises 5 classes: Glossary,
Term, Lexicon, WordDistance and EasyIn. Glossary uses Term, Lexicon
and EasyIn and Lexicon uses WordDistance. Glossary has a list of terms
and provides functionality for creating terms, looking for terms and
creating a lexicon from these terms. Term is a container for the
term's label and its definition. Lexicon has a list of words and
provides functionality for searching and adding words as well as
calculating similarity between words. WorDistance is a container to
record similarity between words. Finally, EasyIn is an auxiliary class
for reading user input from the terminal.
On executing the method interact in the Glossary class you will
notice that this program has a very simple interaction with the
user. When the user inputs a term, the program simply responds whether
the term is in the glossary or not. The interaction finishes when the
user enters the special term `finish'.
It is advisable to take the provided program as a starting
point for your implementation. This will make it easier for you to
follow the proposed solution approach. You can download this program
from the following link.
