CS 117 Assignment, due 2/3/97
Spell-Checker
You may work with one other person for this assignment.
The task
Your program will be provided with (1) a dictionary file and
(2) a text file to be checked against the dictionary--perhaps
a letter to your grandfather about why you had your tongue
pierced. The program print out a list of all the words in
the letter to Gramps that are not in the dictionary.
Your program should ask the user for the names of the two
relevant files. This way, you can test your program using
different dictionaries and different text files without
recompiling every time.
Details
You should assume the dictionary file contains one word
per line, with no extra spaces or punctuation. The 79339-word
words.txt is such
a file, and all of its words have 8 or fewer letters.
The programs
inputFiles.p and
outputFiles.p
demonstrate how to use files within a gpc
Pascal program without using "<" or ">"
on the Unix command-line.
