NEED HELP WITH A PROGRAM....ANYONE PLEASE HELP!

QUESTION:
Write a program that opens and read a text file and records how many
times each word occurs in the file. Use a binary search tree modified
to store both a word and the number of times it occurs. After the
program has read the file, it should offer a menu with three choices.
the first is to list all the words along with the number of occurences.
The second is to let you enter a word, with the program reporting how
many times the word occured in the file. The third is to quit.

This quesiton is from the book C Primer Plus 5th edition by Stephen
Prata. Chapter 17 question 7. I read the chapter twice and can't figure
out how to write this program. Is there anyone out there who can give
me the code for this program. I am desperate. Maybe I could pay whoever
can give me the code.

Forget about the binary search tree.
Write the program so that it goes throught he file, picks out the words, and
stores the count of each word in a flat list. If it helps, set a limit of
10000 distinct words.

Then come back with what you've done and start on the binary tree bit.

how would that help you? You learn to program by writing programs. As
another poster suggested, tackle a slightly simplified version of the
program
and then add to it.

For instance
open file
read lines
close file

the process the lines to extract words. First decide what a word is
(eg. a
sequence of non-whitespace terminated by whitespace, whitespace is
space, newline or tab).

and so on. Learn by doing, take small steps

If this is for homework, the following won't help you at all. If

You don't say where your problem is. I don't have that book but based on
other books by that author, I would expect that I would like it. If you
have been going through the book - not attacking it in the center, for
example - the only problem I would expect would be the requirement to use a
tree. Chapter 17 sounds like you are well into the book and doing the file
business and isolating a word should be relatively easy for you by now, or
at least doable. This is the data structure I would use for a single node
in the tree, see if it kick starts your mind. Main has a pointer to the top
node of the tree.

struct S
{
char* wd;
int ct;
struct S* left_child;
struct S* right_child;
};

Well maybe you could help me with the first 15 lines of the code.....i
dont know how to start the program......and no i havent gone through
the entire book. Our school was out cuz of the teachers strike happened
for 3 weeks during school period. Now in order for me to pass the
class......teacher want us to do this question. Hes on vacation now so
i cant ask him for help. Its due in two weeks and i've emailed other
teachers too but no reply yet!

Break the problem down into pieces. Defer the menu until much later, write
the program as though the user choice was the first choice listed, list all
the words and the counts. You need a test file, best put into the same
directory your source code will be in. You could cut and paste one of your
messages in this thread, for example, that's a reasonable sample.

#include <stdlio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h> -- don't feel compelled to use this

struct Node
{
char* wd;
int ct;
struct Node* left_child;
struct Node* right_child;
};
/*=========================*/
int main()
{
struct Node* tree = NULL;
char buff[1024]; /* line 16, a bonus line */

NB: This was not compiled
--------------- pseudo code -------------
open the file

loop
read a line -- perhaps gets()
if done exit the loop
isolate a word -- a function you write perhaps: char* isolate(char*
line);
add the word to the tree -- a function you write. perhaps: void
add(Node* root, char* word);
----
display the tree.
Note: Having created the tree, by now you should have a pretty good idea of
how to display it's content.

Post your attempt and explain which parts of it you're having
difficulty with, and why.

Don't worry about writing the whole program. I can see that it might sound
frightening, which is why I gave the help I did. Write the next few lines of
code and post *that*. If you post code you will almost certainly get more
help. If you can't or won't do that, your chances of getting further help
here are about zero.

That's because there is no such file or directory. C doesn't define such a
header, so there is no guarantee that any implementation will provide it,
nor that it will mean any particular thing if it /is/ provided.
void main()
main returns int. Always.

When you've learned that, and learned not to use gets(), you'll be ready to
ask some more questions.

I think your biggest mistake is trying to learn C from an inferior book. My
best guess is Herbert Schildt - your program seems to be full of his kind
of nonsense.

conio is not part of standard C. Take this out and a bunch of errors will
crop up where you have used stuff from conio.The ones I saw were probably
nice, but not really needed. clrscr() is a prettifier, eliminate it.
getch() can be replaced by something from stdio, probably by getchar().
Take this stuff out until you see no more errors caused by rewmoval of the
conio header. Then fix what comes next or post a new version of your code.

It would have been better if you had got some of it working before doing all
that typing. But what's done is done.

That's an implementation-specific header. If you don't have it, there's
not much you can do. There are some similar things like ncurses that
are more commonly found, but are still non-standard from the standpoint
of this group.
clrscr();
Get rid of this, you don't need to clear the screen.

getch();
Get rid of all instances of this. You probably don't need a "pause
until continue signal", if you really can justify it we can offer some
standard replacements. It's generally the sign of a newbie to have
those.
printf("\n\t\t| Press your choise (l,s,q)\t|"); ch = getche();

This is trickier. The best idea is to not use a one-key approach to
menus. Read a line of input into a string with fgets() or get the first
char with getchar() and discard the rest.

That's an implementation-specific header. If you don't have it, there's
not much you can do. There are some similar things like ncurses that
are more commonly found, but are still non-standard from the standpoint
of this group.
clrscr();


Get rid of this, you don't need to clear the screen.

getch();


Get rid of all instances of this. You probably don't need a "pause

standard replacements. It's generally the sign of a newbie to have
those.
printf("\n\t\t| Press your choise (l,s,q)\t|");

ch = getche();
switch(ch)


This is trickier. The best idea is to not use a one-key approach to
menus. Read a line of input into a string with fgets() or get the first
char with getchar() and discard the rest.

Pay attention to those errors. Don't call gets(); it's standard, but
dangerous. See question 12.23 in the comp.lang.c FAQ
<http://c-faq.com/>.

The clrscr(), getche(), and delay() functions are non-standard, and
you don't really need any of them.

Sorry, but that's bad advice. gets(), for all practical purposes,
cannot be used safely, and the best time to learn that is when you're
a student. Use fgets() instead (and deal with the '\n' character).

Also, the code looks like this:

[...]
char *searchWord;
printf("\n\n\t\tPlease enter the word to search: ");
gets(searchWord);
[...]

*No* memory has been allocated; the searchWord pointer is garbage.
Even fgets() would be unsafe if used like this. This is exactly the
situation described in question 7.1 of the comp.lang.c FAQ,
<http://www.c-faq.com/>.

Please don't top-post. See <http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html>.

seachWord and showMenu are your functions. You need to remove your
calls to clrscr, getche, and delay.

Take the time to spell out words; it's "you" not "u". Silly
abbreviations like that might be appropriate in IRC or SMS, but not
here. They just make it more difficult to read what you write.

You're still top-posting. You need to place your new text *below*, or
mixed with, any quoted text, and you should snip any quoted text that
isn't relevant to your response. I'll ask you once again to read
<http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html>. We don't offer this kind of
advice to be annoying; if you can post properly, we're more likely to
be able (and willing) to help you.

The last 100 lines or so of the code you posted were commented out.
It would have been much better to leave it out entirely, so we don't
waste our time reading it.

You're using "//" comments. They're perfectly legal in C99, and
apparently are supported by your compiler, but they're not legal in
strict C90, and they're not recommended for code you post to Usenet.
It's very easy for line-wrapping to cause part of your comment to
appear on a separate line, causing syntax errors. Old style /* ... */
comments are less likely to cause this problem.

You've commented out the calls to gets(), but you haven't replaced
them with anything. If you don't do anything to read the text file
name, you're not going to be able to do anything with it. Try using
fgets(); see the FAQ for some examples of how to use it. Remember
that you can't use a pointer until you've assigned a value to it
(usually that means allocating memory for it to point to).

I was unable to compile the program until I deleted the delay() calls.
Apparently your system has a non-standard delay() function; mine
doesn't. You're not doing anything useful with it anyway. Here's
the code in question:

printf("\n\n\t\t\tReading file");
delay(500);
printf(".");
delay(100);
printf(".");
delay(100);
printf(".");
delay(100);
printf(".");
delay(100);

This is apparently intended to print a series of '.' characters while
giving the *illusion* that it's taking some time to read the file. I
have no idea why you'd want to do that. In fact, the dots are printed
before you even attempt to open the file. Just delete that entire
block of code.

I think you're trying to do too much at once. Try writing a smaller
program that prompts for a file name, reads name from stdin, opens the
named file, and prints the contents to stdout. Once you've got that
working, extend the program to do whatever else you're trying to do.

And if you're given advice on this newsgroup, *pay attention to it*.
I've seen you repeat errors for which people have already given you
solutions. There's always a chance someone may give you bad advice,
but if that happens someone else will correct it very quickly.

It appears that you have been put into a difficult position. You are taking

One of the things I enjoyed most about college was learning how to solve

Include only the content necessary when you quote someone in a follow-up.

If your compiler has a boolean type, use that.

If your compiler lacks a boolean type, you can use screaming macros, like
this:

#undef FALSE
#define FALSE 0
#undef TRUE
#define TRUE !FALSE

Then use TRUE and FALSE everywhere you want a two-state boolean value.
Or something of that nature.

Another very popular method is to use enums:

typdef enum tag_Boolean_type {False=0, True=1} Boolean_type;

Then you can just declare one and use it.

It is also very counter-intuitive to set true to 0.
Think about what this would do:

if (true) {
/* Do something */
}
else
{
/* Do something else */
}

In a case like that, it is 'something else' that happens instead of
'something'.

Yes. You are using it incorrectly. This is actually a bit tricker than many
people would imagine, since the fgets() function is also going to return the
newline at the end of the buffer.

Here is Jack Klein's getsafe() function from
http://home.att.net/~jackklein/ctips01.html#safe_gets

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char *getsafe(char *buffer, int count)
{
char *result = buffer, *np;
if ((buffer == NULL) || (count < 1))
result = NULL;
else if (count == 1)
*result = '\0';
else if ((result = fgets(buffer, count, stdin)) != NULL)
if (np = strchr(buffer, '\n'))
*np = '\0';
return result;
}

As you can see, getting a string from the console can be a bit tricky.

To use this function, just call it with the string, followed by the actual
length of the string.
e.g.

char foo[256];
....
if (getsafe(foo, sizeof foo, stdin) != NULL)
{
/* do stuff with the string */
}

It is not a command, it is the name of a variable.

Remember this?:
int true = 1;


Change it to truex and change anyplace else in the code where you refer to
this variable.

int truex = 1;

Can I just say that's the worst advice I've seen in comp.lang.c for weeks?
This is not *just* a student program. This is a *student program* - a

reason, as you well know. So *now* is the time for this student to learn

Hey Keith guess what?!
right now i am too stressed out to even think about your stupid top

If you can't learn the very simple task of posting a Usenet article in such
a way that it is easy and pleasant to read, it would be a good idea to pick
a discipline less difficult than programming. Marketing springs to mind.
Or, since you seem to prefer heaping abuse on others, perhaps management is
your cup of tea.
i am here for some answers! so if you have them then let it
out.......otherwise try not to post you suggestions, because its waste
of my time to come and read stupid comments that are not relevent to my

Keith is not in the habit of writing irrelevant comments. If you don't see
their relevance, that's your problem, not his. He knows what he's talking
about and he's a very helpful person who is actually trying to help you to
learn C better - and learning to use Usenet more effectively will certainly
help you learn C better. But if you continue to insult those who help you,
you won't continue to get help for very long.

A student walks into his professor's office for help with a homework
assignment. He shoves some papers aside, sits on the professor's
desk, and starts describing his problem. The professor starts to make
some useful suggestions, then asks you to please get off his desk and
sit in the chair. The student loudly tells the professor he doesn't
want to hear any stupid advice about where he should sit, advice that
has nothing to do with his problem.

It's not a perfect analogy, but it's pretty close.

It's simpler just to write

#define TRUE 1

Section 9 of the comp.lang.c FAQ covers this quite well.
