Array doubling with dynamic memory

​OBJECTIVES
    1. Read a file with unknown size and store its contents in a dynamic array

    2. Store, search and iterate through data in an array of structs

    3. Use array doubling via dynamic memory to increase the size of the array

Overview

In this assignment, we will write a program to analyse the word frequency in a document. Because the number of words in the document may not be known a priori, we will implement a dynamically doubling array​to store the necessary information.

Please read all the directions ​before writing code, as this write-up contains specific requirements for how the code should be written.

Your Task

There are two files on Moodle. One contains text to be read and analyzed, and is named TomSawyer.txt​. As the name implies, this file contains the full text from ​Tom Swayer​. For your convenience, all the punctuation has been removed, all the words have been converted to lowercase, and the entire document can be read as if it were written on a single line. The other file contains the 50 most common words in the English language, which your program will ignore during analysis . It is called​​ignoreWords.txt​.

Your program must take three command line arguments in the following order - a number ​N​, the name of the text to be read, and the name of the text file with the words that should be ignored. It will read the text (​ignoring the words in the second file​) and store all unique words in a dynamically doubling array. It should then calculate and print the following information:

    • The number of time array doubling was required to store all the unique words

    • The number of unique “non-ignore” words in the file

    • The total word count of the file (excluding the ignore words)

    • Starting from index N print the 10 most frequent words along with their probability (​up to 4 decimal places​) of occurrence from the array. The array should be sorted in decreading manner based on probability



For example, running your program with the command:


./Assignment2 2​5​ TomSawyer.txt ignoreWords.txt

would print the next 10 words starting index 5 in ​TomSawyer.txt​, not including any words in ignoreWords.txt​. The full results would be:


Array doubled: 7

#

Unique non-common words: 7275

#

Total non-common words: 42962

#

Probability of next 10 words from rank 25

Specifics:

    1. Use an array of structs to store the words and their counts

There is an unknown number of words in the file. You will store each unique word and its count (the number of times it occurs in the document). Because of this, you will need to store these words in a dynamically sized ​array of structs​. The struct must be defined as follows:


struct​ ​wordItem​ {
string​​ word;



​int​ count;
};


    2. Use the array-doubling algorithm to increase the size of your array

Your array will need to grow to fit the number of words in the file. ​Start with an array size of 100​, and double the size whenever the array runs out of free space. You will need to allocate your array dynamically and copy values from the old array to the new array.



Note: Don’t use the built-in std::vector class. This will result in a loss of points. You’re actually writing the code that the built-in vector uses behind-the-scenes!

    3. Ignore the top 50 most common words that are read in from the second file

To get useful information about word frequency, we will be ignoring the 50 most common words in the English language. These words will be read in from a file, whose name is the third command line argument.

    4. Take three command line arguments

Your program must take three command line arguments - a number ​N which tells your program how many of the most frequent words to print, the name of the text file to be read and analyzed, and the name of the text file with the words that should be ignored.

    5. Output the Next ​N​most frequent words
Your program should print out the next 10 most frequent words - not including the common words - starting index N in the text where ​N is passed in as a command line argument.

E.g. If N=5 then print words from index 5-14 in the array sorted in decreasing order.

    6. Format your final output this way:


Array doubled: <Number of times the ​array​ was doubled>
#

Unique non-common words: <Unique non-common words>

#

Total non-common words: <Total non-common words>



#

Probability of next 10 words from rank <N>

---------------------------------------
<​Nth​ highest probability> - <corresponding word>
<​N+1 th​ highest probability> - <corresponding word>
...

<N+10 th highest probability> - <corresponding word>



For example, using the command:


./Assignment2 ​25​ TomSawyer.txt ignoreWords.txt

you should get the output:


Array doubled: 7

#

Unique non-common words: 7275

#

Total non-common words: 42962

#

Probability of next 10 words from rank 25

    7. You must include the following functions (they will be tested by the autograder): a. In your main function


    i. If the correct number of command line arguments is not passed, print the below statement and exit the program


std::cout << ​"Usage: Assignment2Solution <number of words> <inputfilename.txt> <ignoreWordsfilename.txt>"​ << std::endl;

    ii. Get stop-words/common-words from ​ignoreWords.txt and store them in an array (Call your ​getStopWords​function)
    iii. Read words from ​TomSawyer.txt and store all unique words that are not ignore-words in an array of structs
        1. Create a dynamic ​wordItem​array of size 100
        2. Add non-ignore words to the array (double the array size if array is full)

        3. Keep track of the number of times the ​wordItem array is doubled and the number of unique non-ignore words

b.


void​ ​getStopWords​(​const​ ​char​ *ignoreWordFileName, ​string ignoreWords[]);

This function should read the stop words from the file with the name stored in ignoreWordFileName ​and store them in the ​ignoreWords ​array. You can assume there will be exactly 50 stop words. There is no return value.

In case the file fails to open, print an error message using the below cout statement:


std::cout << "Failed to open " << ignoreWordFileName << std::endl;

c.


bool​ ​isStopWord​(​string​ word, ​string​ ignoreWords[]);

This function should return whether ​word​​is in the ​ignoreWords​​array.


d.


int​ ​getTotalNumberNonStopWords​(wordItem ​uniqueWords​[], ​int length);

This function should compute the total number of words in the entire document by summing up all the counts of the individual unique words. The function should return this sum.

e.


void​ ​arraySort​(wordItem ​uniqueWords​[], ​int​ length);

This function should sort the ​uniqueWords array (which contains ​length initialized elements) by word count such that the most frequent words are sorted to the beginning. The function does not return anything.


f.


void​ ​printNext10​(wordItem uniqueWords[], ​int​ N, ​int totalNumWords);

This function should print the next 10 words after the starting index N from sorted ​array of ​uniqueWords​. The next 10 words with their probability of occurrence ​up to 4 decimal places. The exact format of this printing is given below . The function does not return anything.

Probability of occurrence of a word at position ​ind in the array is computed using the formula: ​(Don’t forget to cast to float!)


probability-of-occurrence = ​(float) uniqueWords[ind].count / totalNumWords

Output format


Probability of next 10 words from rank 25
