C++ nerds please come :P

hey guys... I need some help with an assignment I'm doing


1. read text from a file, storing each word in a linked list. You may assume
no word will be longer than 25 characters. Use a struct to define a data type to store the information for
each node, as follows
struct WordListNode
{
char *word ;
int count ;
WordListNode *next ;
} ;


2. As you read each word, remove the punctuation and convert to lower case

3. dynamically allocate a C-string array just large enough to store the word,
and store the pointer to this array in the word field of a WordListNode variable when inserting it into the
list.
The name of the file containing the words will be passed to your programusing a command-line parameter,


4. when you add each newly-read word to the list, insert
it in an appropriate place in the list such that the list remains sorted at all times. Each time you add a word,
make sure to initialize its count to one.

5. Remove the repeated words. You will not need a special method to remove repeated words if your list insertion function only adds
words if they do not already appear in the list. However, you should increment the count of the word if it
already appears in the list.

6. Once the words have been read into a list of unique words, you are to output the list with one word per
line, followed by the number of times the word appeared in the file, in parenthesis. For example,
the (175)
This should be followed by the number of unique words and also the total number of words read from the
file.

7. Implement a function to do sequential search on the list of words. After outputting the list of unique words
and their counts, your program should repeatedly prompt the user for words to search for, until the user
enters a word that starts with a non-letter. You will need to make the words entered lowercase and remove
any leading/trailing punctuation, but you can re-use the functions you wrote to do this earlier.
If a search word is found, print out the word and its count. If a search word is not found, print the word in
double quotes followed by NOT FOUND.
When the user is done searching, you must delete any allocatedmemory before your program exits.



I don't really have a clue what's going on, but I will start to work on this thing, any help in any section would be great

May your pointers nullify and your buffers overflow with the delusional rantings of Richard Stallman.

Now fork() off and do your own homework.

Is that how you use them?

which is why you are asking us for help...

Go forth and Google

BTW - I'm sure I heard you go 'PING' before

Is that wind still troubling you after your fat cat capitalist pig out on Thursday night?

better...

but dont expect me to fart salutations of editorial greatness like wingy does..

This I will agree on..

Oooohhh and you even put a little angry face. I guess I better shut up

ya that is the point of learning the language...but I'm trying to pass here

man all the helpful people aren't here anymore....just a bunch of wingding followers -_-

Without actually learning anything, so I can become a sub par employee of a substandard company & feed off the teet of inflation passed on to the consumer for overpriced sub par services

Funny I haven't seen any other psychotic Irish necrophilliacs???

*Sigh*

Find a specialty forum and phrase your request in a less, uhm, needy way.

...*glugs to the directive, jaded snorkius*...

That's right. Hide in fear.

For fcuks sake, look somewhere helpful. You never know, it might just be me who answers. You don't actually have to pay for the service, if you use both of your brain cells together, you'll find the sign up as an expert link and get an answer for free. Well if you offer all your 500 points for it you will.

...*gorges messily*....

...*uses anuscam to provide even more graphic footage*....

You have no idea what horrors lie up my jacksie.

Is an anuscam like a yearly rip off?


I'll get my coat.

LOL

Ooh, fresh noob. Complete with a 1-word response.

WINGY! We've got another one!



* Gets popcorn and beer **

Maybe I'm not on that level of perverseness yet, but why the feather duster? Tickle fetish?

Ah, subterfuge, right? Quite a devious means of dispatching a victim.

Ah, the pleasure of an endoscope. I got one for Christmas when I was two. Our poor cat was never the same afterwards.

Bend over and I'll inspect that particular phenomenon for you....

...*approaches*...

It has no paws and no penis. Jeez, whaddya want?
