Contributor: UNKNOWN program Dict; (* simple dictionary using a btree. The program reads in an ASCII file with one word per line and stores the words in an btree. A btree is something like binary tree but every node can have more than two descent nodes. This is done by linked list. This method has two advantages: * when a word is wrong you can easily give some proposes how the word is written correctly (just change the path in the tree a little) * bigger dict. may save space. E.g "base, basicly, basement" etc. share the same path on the first three niveaus. ATTENTION! I don't free any mem I've allocated. This is done by the heap manager (i.e. he allocates large blockes and releases them } when the program ends. But this can be added easily. Also, there is no function included that deletes words (I don't need it in my project). I suggest it is not that easy to add such a function but have a try ;-)) *) { $DEFINE DEBUG} { if DEBUG is defined (just erase space between "{" and "$") then some actions are logged while building the tree and while searching. } const debugfile = 'dict.log'; { log file (if needed) } dictFileName = 'dict.dat'; { data input (words in ASCII) } type PNode = ^TNode; TNode = record Character : Char; { the current character } WordEnd : Boolean; { is this char. the last of one word?} right,down: PNode; { right: points to next char on the same niveau down : points to the next char in word } {$IFDEF DEBUG} Level : byte; { level of the tree } {$ENDIF } end; var BTree: PNode; { our tree } DictFile: Text; { our ascii dictionary } {$IFDEF DEBUG} var f: Text; { log file handle } {$ENDIF } procedure CreateBTree; { just initalizes the tree w/ a dummy element } begin Btree:=NIL; New(Btree); BTree^.character:=#$1A; { #$1A is END-OF-FILE. shouldn't be used in any word } BTree^.right:=NIL; Btree^.down:=NIL; BTree^.Wordend:=true; {$IFDEF DEBUG} BTree^.level:=1; writeln(f,'B-Tree with dummy element created.'); {$ENDIF } end; {$IFDEF DEBUG} function GetNode(Character: Char; LevelPtr: PNode; Level: byte): PNode; {$ELSE } function GetNode(Character: Char; LevelPtr: PNode): PNode; {$ENDIF } { returns the node in Level "LevelPtr" that contains "Character". if there is no node, it is created } var p: PNode; begin if levelptr=NIL then begin New(P); P^.right:=NIL; P^.down:=NIL; P^.character:=character; P^.WordEnd:=False; {$IFDEF DEBUG} P^.Level:=Level; writeln(f,'#New niveau-node enterd.
