Algorithm
Problem Name:
A document is represented as a collection paragraphs, a paragraph is represented as a collection of sentences, a sentence is represented as a collection of words and a word is represented as a collection of lower-case ([a-z]) and upper-case ([A-Z]) English characters.
You will convert a raw text document into its component paragraphs, sentences and words. To test your results, queries will ask you to return a specific paragraph, sentence or word as described below.
Alicia is studying the C programming language at the University of Dunkirk and she represents the words, sentences, paragraphs, and documents using pointers:
- A word is described by char*
- A sentence is described by char**. The words in the sentence are separated by one space (" "). The last word does not end with a space(" ").
- A paragraph is described by char***. The sentences in the paragraph are separated by one period (".").
- A document is described by char****The paragraphs in the document are separated by one newline("\n"). The last paragraph does not end with a newline.
For example:
Learning C is fun.
Learning pointers is more fun.It is good to have pointers.
- The only sentence in the first paragraph could be represented as:
char** first_sentence_in_first_paragraph = {"Learning", "C", "is", "fun"};
- The first paragraph itself could be represented as:
char*** first_paragraph = {{"Learning", "C", "is", "fun"}};
- The first sentence in the second paragraph could be represented as:
char** first_sentence_in_second_paragraph = {"Learning", "pointers", "is", "more", "fun"};
- The second sentence in the second paragraph could be represented as:
char** second_sentence_in_second_paragraph = {"It", "is", "good", "to", "have", "pointers"};
- The second paragraph could be represented as:
char*** second_paragraph = {{"Learning", "pointers", "is", "more", "fun"}, {"It", "is", "good", "to", "have", "pointers"}};
- Finally, the document could be represented as:
char**** document = {{{"Learning", "C
Output Format
Print the paragraph, sentence or the word corresponding to the query to check the logic of your code.
