Spell check using pthreads in C

FortuneNhlanhla (5)
Hi

I have a school project where we suppose to make a spell check using pthreads,
it is suppose to have customer.h using linked list, will have 3 member functions (misspelled list, task list, word count)

and will have Server.h, this one can point to the linked list of customer.h,
but it will store a dictionary(.csv file) about 16_millions.csv of words.

the task list will be populated with the list of words to be checked .And then under main.cpp, it will take in a word from task list (also about millions), it will take the strings one by one, it will check if the string is in the dictionary, if it is, it goes to the next one without doing anything with that one found in the dictionary.csv(server.h), if the word is misspelled, it saves it in the misspelled list. basically it will be comparing two lists.

please help!!

it does this until all the words are read in.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forums. As per the rules on the forum, we don't just give people solutions to homework assignments.

You mention that you need a customer.h and server.h file, with specified functions and linked list.
Please make an attempt at writing those and come back to us with the code and any specific problems you are having.

If you need help getting started, just let us know and we'll take it step by step.

All the best,
NwN

Hi

If you could go back and edit your posts to use code tags it'll be easier for people to understand your code. Esp. as there's quite a bit of it.

Thanks

Hi there,

I think the following will fix quite a few of those errors:

error: ‘nodeType’ does not name a type


Server.h has the nodeType struct commented out, so the compiler doesn't know it.


error: redefinition of ‘class Server<Type>’

Your Server.h has no include guards (#ifndef / #define / #endif), so if you include it in both main.cpp and customer.h, it gets included twice, hence "redefined".

Could you change those and try again please?

All the best,
NwN
