Our satisfied clients are back to ask us to implement another interactive dictionary. Our dictionary takes input from users and uses the input as search key to look up values associated with the key. Requirements:
Coding: No hard coding, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding. Please think about Dynamic and Scalable.
Data Source: A text file, Data.CS.SFSU.txt . Please think about Software Deployment and Usability.
Data Structure: Use existing data structure(s) or create new data structure(s) to store our dictionary's data. Each keyword, each part of speech, and each definition must be stored in a separate data field. Do not combine them such as storing three parts in one String.
Data Loading: When our program starts, it loads all the original data from the Data Source into our dictionary's data structure. The data source file is opened once and closed once per run. It must be closed as soon as possible. It must be closed before our program starts interacting with users.
User Interface: A program interface allows users to input search keys. This interface then displays returned results. Our program searches the dictionary's data (not the data source text file) for values associated with the search keys.
Identical Output: Our program's output must be identical to the complete sample runs output: Assignment-03_PC_Run.pdf
1. Program Analysis to Program Design, 10 points. Please think about Interviews.
In at least 1 full page, please focus on the differences/improvements you are making in this C++ version of the program in comparison to your previous Java version while explaining the following in detail:
Your analysis of the provided information and the provided complete sample output. Please think about Clients and Sales.
What problem you are solving. Please explain it clearly then define it concisely. Please think about Problem Solving and Interviews.
How you store data in enum objects. And why. Please think about Data Structures and Data Design.
