Inspiration
We wanted to make a program to warn us when we use too much of a single word
What it does
reads an input text file completely, makes a list of all the unique words used, and sorts them by how frequently they are used. A link to a thesaurus entry for that word is displayed next to it.
How we built it
We used parallel vectors to store the strings and the amount of times the words were used. We sorted them using selection sort and made sure to ignore punctuation marks next to the words.
Challenges we ran into
logic behind filling in the vectors with info from the text file
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We made a working program
What we learned
How to use and upload to github
What's next for Essay Helper
-Can detect different conjugations of words and see them as only the root word -Give synonyms instead of just linking to thesaurus -Ignore common words like it, as, the, etc. -Identify and ignore names -Spellcheck
