Exercise Spell Checker
- Make sure you've already done the Hello World Exercise
- Make sure you've read through the Control Flow and Data Structures pages.
Go into the exercises-spellchecker directory. This exercise is inspired by CS50's spell checker problem set, and this will make you appreciate the power of python's builtin capabilities, especially data structures.
Open up the file dictionary.py and fill out the functions. We will represent an English dictionary using a Python set. See the various answers here for how to read the contents from a file.
When you are done:
python checker.py dictionaries/large texts/alice.txt
You should get output that looks like this:
... lots of words ...
dictionary size: 143091
num misspelled: 303
num unique: 142
time (s): 0.223283
