I had to design a program that reads a body of text from an input file, isolates the words in the text and writes them one per line to an output file then put the wordlist in alphabetical order and have a frequency count for each word in the word list.
now i had to use an array of objects so i made another class to use it from called WordsAndCount which is this...
class WordsAndCount
{
// instance variables
private String Word;
privateint Frequency;
/**
* Constructor for objects of class WordsAndCount
*/
public WordsAndCount()
{
// initialise instance variables
Word = "unknown";
Frequency = 0;
}
WordsAndCount(String w, int f)
{
// initialise instance variables
Word = w;
Frequency = f;
}
}
this is the main class that i got an error in and cant seem to figure out whats wrong. can someone take a look and see if they can find any errors or just help me fix the program??
