• Speller: Program that spell-checks a file after loading a dictionary of words from disk into memory. Includes run-time data output.
• I wrote the following functions in dictionary.c: load, hash, size, check, and unload. The other code and files were provided by the instructor.

• Hash table and linked list data strutures
• Implementing knowledge of pointers *n and next n -> next
• Hashing words from a txt file into a hash table
• Reading into and subsequently unloading dictionary from memory
• Using malloc and command-line argument $ valgrind to prevent leaking memory and segmentation faults
• Run time optimization and Big O analysis

To run this project locally:

• In your terminal, navigate to the filter directory and run the following commands

$	clang -ggdb3 -O0 -Qunused-arguments -std=c11 -Wall -Werror -Wextra  -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable -Wshadow -c -o speller.o speller.c
clang -ggdb3 -O0 -Qunused-arguments -std=c11 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable -Wshadow -c -o dictionary.o dictionary.c
clang -ggdb3 -O0 -Qunused-arguments -std=c11 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable -Wshadow -o speller speller.o dictionary.o -lm

• In your terminal, navigate to this folder's root directory and run the following command

$ ./speller texts/foo.txt

Where foo is the name of a body of text found in the texts directory. There are 30 different texts to choose from. The output of the spell check program can be compared to the corresponding file in the keys directory for accuracy by running:

./speller texts/tolstoy.txt > bar.txt
$ diff -y bar.txt keys/baz.txt

Where bar is the name of the program's output file and baz is the name of the text analyzed

Analysis of results:

• TIME IN load represents the number of seconds that speller spends executing the implementation of load.
• TIME IN check represents the number of seconds that speller spends, in total, executing the implementation of check.
• TIME IN size represents the number of seconds that speller spends executing the implementation of size.
• TIME IN unload represents the number of seconds that speller spends executing the implementation of unload.
• TIME IN TOTAL is the sum of those four measurements.

Quick use examples

./speller texts/tolstoy.txt
./speller texts/tolstoy.txt > your.txt
diff -y your.txt keys/tolstoy.txt
