Count the frequency

[rccf6178]

Hi all,

Do anyone know how to write a C program to count the frequency of a
certain key pattern in a given datafile?

Input:
• Three alpha-numeric keys separated by space
• A data file contains M by 3 matrix of alpha-numeric keys. Where M is
number of rows and 3 is number of columns.

Output:
• Number of occurrences of the input keys

Example:

Input file db.txt and its content:

4 7 9
2 1 G
5 3 4
A 3 E
1 A 3
F 5 6
X 0 4
Sample run #1
Please enter 3 keys (separated by space):7 A 4

The key ‘7 ‘ has 1 occurrence in the database
The key ‘A’ has 2 occurrences in the database
The key ‘4’ has 3 occurrences in the database

Sample run #2
Please enter 3 keys (separated by space): A B C

The key ‘A’ has 1 occurrence in the database
The key ‘B’ has zero occurrence in the database
The key ‘C’ has zero occurrence in the database

The following is the hints that I have. However, I do not know how I can
complete the program. Your help will be appreciated.

***************************

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int numeric[10];
int alpha[26];
void ReadData(char* input_file)
{
FILE* fptr;
char buffer[128];
char* token;
int index;

fptr = fopen(input_file, "r");

if (fptr != NULL)
{
while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fptr) != NULL)
{
token = strtok(buffer, " ");
while ( token != NULL )
{

if (token[0] >= '0' && token[0] <= '9')
{
/* calculate number of input in numeric[] */
}
else if (token[0] >= 'A' && token[0] <= 'Z')
{
/* calculate number of input in alpha[] */
}

/* Get next token: */
token = strtok( NULL, " " );
}
}
}
}
/* get the occurrence of the specified key */
int GetKeyCount(char key)
{
int index;

if (key >= '0' && key <= '9')
{
….. /* return the occurrence of the numeric input key in numeric[] */
}
else if (key >= 'A' && key <= 'Z')
{
….. /* return the occurrence of the alpha input key in alpha[] */
}
else
return 0; /* return 0, if the key is not defined */

}

void main()
{
char enquiry[32]; /* store the enquiry string input by user */
char* token;

ReadData("db.txt"); /* setup the key occurrence database from the input
file */

printf("Please enter 3 keys (separated by space): ");

while (gets(enquiry) != NULL)
{

token = strtok(enquiry, " "); /* get the key one by one from the line
delimited by a space - e.g. "1 2 A" */

while (token != NULL )
{
/* While there are tokens in "string" */

/* print out the result from the key token[0] and the function
GetKeyCount() */
……..
/* Get next token: */
…….
}

printf("Please enter 3 keys (separated by space): ");
}

}

You practically asked for Richard's comment by being too clever, then you
plonk one of the regulars? Idiot.

For what its worth I was posting a similar response to the Bos's when his
came through. Dang, I hate it when some lowlander is faster than me....

IMO, Richard Bos is a reasonably valuable contributor to this newsgroup.
It seems that the above (which I don't fully understand) was just a case
of him taking the bait you put out when you said, higher up in the thread:
When your dutch/german/french/latin is as good as mine, it's time to
start correcting me."

I think you would be better off not plonking him.

For your information, there are a number of people in this newsgroup who
are multilingual, and who are not native speakers of English. Corrections
to grammar and spelling are relatively rare. Typically you would see them
only when the meaning of the English is not clear.

Also, "cute" abbreviations seem to periodically draw fire. For example,
chat room stuff like "UR" instead of "you are" or "2" instead of "to"
or "too" seems to make certain regulars in this group very angry.

Just my $0.02.

Ok.

I don't really care *who* calls me an idiot, (s)he get's plonked. Outside
