Document Analysis

Introduction

James Madison is most famous for his work on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In honor of his 262nd birthday, this lab will give us a chance to take a closer look at those documents.

The goal of this lab is to write a simple terminal-based program that analyzes a text document and reports some summary statistics. The skeleton for this program is provided for you. Your job is to complete all methods so that they conform to the provided Javadocs.

Files

The following files are provided:

• DocumentStats.java This class is responsible for reading a text file and storing it as a collection of individual words. It provides information about the document such as the total number of words etc.
• DocumentReporter.java This class is responsible for generating and storing nicely formatted reports based on the data provided by the DocumentStats class.
• DocumentUI.java The class contains the main. It is responsible for reading command line arguments and performing the appropriate actions. The specific behavior is described in the file comments.
• FileFormatException.java This exception will be used to indicate that the file being processed exists, but does not contain any usable data. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO MODIFY THIS FILE.
• constitution.txt You can test your code on these text files.
• bill_of_rights.txt

Submitting

You will submit this lab through WebCAT. You should only submit the four java files above. You may submit as many times as you like, and you do not need to provide unit tests.

Here are the unit tests that will be used by WebCAT: document_tests.zip. Feel free to use them if it will save time.
