In these assignments, you are given most of the files for an application that measures the Flesch reading ease on individual sentences of a file. The three tasks are to complete the application, by implementing the three missing classes, Sentence, TextRenderer, and HTMLRenderer. Detailed instructions are provided in the zip-file, as text, Ms Word and PDF files. |

Software is very hard to get correct, as the following demonstrates: The syllable count for the example file HCAndersen.txt as given in the assignment text is listed as 2595Implementing the syllable counter algorithm as the assignment requires, gives a count of 2583i.e. 12 syllables less in total.
>java FleschTest -f HCAndersen.txt
The reason for this is that when I prepared the example in the assignment text, I had forgotten to remove the Swedish national characters ÅÄÖ from the detected vowels. Although the text is in English, it contains Swedish names and thus these were counted. 2583 is the 'correct' count, as per the assignment. -fk |
