You probably need to post a picture of her.

I'll ask her.  :awesome_for_real:

Without any inkling of the task I don't know if you need the super-genius programmer in my office or if I can help with my lesser skills/knowledge.  I'll help if I can.

Don't know Java, but I'm willing to learn... :drillf:

I have to generate a lexicon for a mobile phone. Several directories with textfiles have to generate the lexicon. The program then has to read the contents of the files, split them into words only and then the single words must be counted so that the most common word will be suggested when a particular combination of keys is pressed.

Any takers ?  :awesome_for_real:

// A "Dictionary" of our words, storing the occurance count of each word
HashMap<String, Integer> words = HashMap<String, Integer>();

// Everytime you find a word in the text files you parse, pass it into this method
public void countWord(String word)
{
   if (words.containsKey(word))
   {
      Integer occuranceCount = words.get(word) + 1;
      words.put(word, occuranceCount);
   }
   else
   {
      words.put(word, 1);
   }
}

// Returns the best match for currentText
public void predictWord(String currentText)
{
   // Nothing to see here, move along
   if (currentText == null || currentText.isEmpty())
      return "";

   int highestMatchVal = 0;
   String highestMatchWord = "";

   // Loop over every word
   Iterator iter = words.keySet().iterator();
   while ( iter.hasNext() )
   {
      // Find the word that begins with currentText, and has the
      // highest occurance count
      String word = iter.next().toString();
      if ( word.startsWith(currentText) )
      {
         Integer occuranceCount = words.get(word);
         if (count > highestMatchVal)
         {
            highestMatchVal = count;
            highestMatchWord = word;   
         }
      }
   }

   return highestMatchWord;
}



....
Assume a JTextField named "inputField" exists and is displayed
Assume a JLabel named "predictedWordLabel" exists and is displayed
....



inputField.addKeyListener(
   new KeyAdapter()
   {
      public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke)
      {
         String predictedWord = predictWord( inputField.getText() );
         predictedWordLabel.setText( predictedWord );
      }
   }
);

OK, got her to translate her task into English...


Any takers ?  :awesome_for_real:

I had to do basically that very same project in my first year of compsci in college. Only not for a mobile phone and not in java because java is the devil's work.

What's her major that she has to do this?
