| 1 | +# Word Frequency Analyzer: Finding the Longest Common Word Length |
1 | 2 |
|
| 3 | +## Project Overview |
| 4 | +This project implements a program that takes a string as input, counts the frequency of each word in the string, and returns the length of the highest-frequency word. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## Key Features |
| 7 | +- Counts the frequency of each word in the input string. |
| 8 | +- Determines the highest-frequency word. |
| 9 | +- Returns the length of the highest-frequency word. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Libraries Used |
| 12 | +- **re**: A built-in Python module for working with regular expressions. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Code Explanation |
| 15 | +The program uses regular expressions to process the input string and count the frequency of each word. It then determines the highest-frequency word and returns its length. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Code Structure |
| 18 | +- **Function Definition**: The function `highest_freq_word(string)` processes the input string to find the highest-frequency word and its length. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## Prerequisites |
| 21 | +- Python 3.x installed on your machine. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Explanation |
| 24 | +In the output, we can see 'write' is the word that appeared most frequently, and its length is 5. The program doesn't print the word with the highest length, but if the frequency of two words is the same, it will print the word with the longer length. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Insights |
| 27 | +- The program effectively demonstrates the use of dictionaries for counting word frequencies. |
| 28 | +- Regular expressions are utilized for efficient string manipulation. |
| 29 | +- The approach can be extended to handle more complex text processing tasks. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Future Enhancements |
| 32 | +1. **Handle Punctuation** : |
| 33 | + - Improve the code to ignore punctuation marks in the input string. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +2. **Case Sensitivity** : |
| 36 | + - Adjust the code to treat words with different cases (e.g., "Write" and "write") as the same word. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +3. **User Interface** : |
| 39 | + - Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) using Tkinter or PyQt for a better user experience. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +4. **Performance Optimization** : |
| 42 | + - Optimize the code for handling very large input strings efficiently. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +5. **Extended Functionality** : |
| 45 | + - Add functionality to find the word with the highest length if frequencies are the same. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +6. **Visualization** : |
| 48 | + - Incorporate visualizations such as word clouds to better illustrate. |
