Allows the user to determine word count from a pair of inputs (input 1 is a single word, input 2 is a sentence to be searched for the frequency of occurrences of input 1).
Files can be cloned from https://github.com/andrewniekamp/word-counter.git and run in a browser (requires a server environment).
_Using Mono in the root directory, type the following at the command prompt:
To install dependencies:
>dnu restore
To run the local server:
>dnx kestrel
Navigate to http://localhost:5004 in your browser.
| Behavior | Input Example 1 | Input Example 2 | Output Example | Simplicity Justification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detect occurrence of single letter and identical 2nd input | 'a' | 'a' | Frequency: 1 | Smallest available comparison/test of matching behavior - no need to split or loop |
| Detect occurrence of single letter in multiple 2nd input | 'a' | 'a b' | Frequency: 1 | Smallest step once matching 1 for 1 letter/word is to compare 1 to 2+ letters - able to match without need to split string into array of words - now beneficial to use a loop |
| Detect increase frequency of occurrences | 'a' | 'a b a' | Frequency: 2 | Smallest incremental step - ensures loop captures all occurrences of letter |
| Detect occurrence of single word and identical 2nd input | 'and' | 'and' | Frequency: 1 | After single letter is functioning - next step is to compare for multi-letter word - Smallest available comparison/test of matching behavior for word - no need to split or loop |
| Detect occurrence of word with multiple 2nd input | 'and' | 'cat and dog' | Frequency: 1 | Smallest step once matching 1 for 1 letter/word and 1 to 2+ letters is to compare 1 to 2+ words - now beneficial to split into array and loop over each word |
| Detect occurrence of word with multiple 2nd input | 'and' | 'cat and dog and fish' | Frequency: 2 | Smallest incremental step - ensures loop captures all occurrences of word in similar pattern to single letter spec above |
| Detect occurrence of word with case differences | 'hello' | 'Hello there, I say!' | Frequency: 1 | Ensures method catches case difference but doesn't necessarily address special characters or punctuation. |
| Detect occurrence if next to punctuation | 'hello' | 'Hello. I say, hello!' | Frequency: 2 | Logical next step -ensures method catches a match when typical punctuation is used, but doesn't necessarily account for other unforeseen special characters. |
