Abbreviations, simple

From Rosetta Code
Task
Abbreviations, simple
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

The use of   abbreviations   (also sometimes called synonyms, nicknames, AKAs, or aliases)   can be an
easy way to add flexibility when specifying or using commands, sub─commands, options, etc.


For this task, the following   command table   will be used:

   add 1  alter 3  backup 2  bottom 1  Cappend 2  change 1  Schange  Cinsert 2  Clast 3
   compress 4 copy 2 count 3 Coverlay 3 cursor 3  delete 3 Cdelete 2  down 1  duplicate
   3 xEdit 1 expand 3 extract 3  find 1 Nfind 2 Nfindup 6 NfUP 3 Cfind 2 findUP 3 fUP 2
   forward 2  get  help 1 hexType 4  input 1 powerInput 3  join 1 split 2 spltJOIN load
   locate 1 Clocate 2 lowerCase 3 upperCase 3 Lprefix 2  macro  merge 2 modify 3 move 2
   msg  next 1 overlay 1 parse preserve 4 purge 3 put putD query 1 quit  read recover 3
   refresh renum 3 repeat 3 replace 1 Creplace 2 reset 3 restore 4 rgtLEFT right 2 left
   2  save  set  shift 2  si  sort  sos  stack 3 status 4 top  transfer 3  type 1  up 1


Notes concerning the above   command table:

  •   it can be thought of as one long literal string   (with blanks at end-of-lines)
  •   it may have superfluous blanks
  •   it may be in any case (lower/upper/mixed)
  •   the order of the words in the   command table   must be preserved as shown
  •   the user input(s) may be in any case (upper/lower/mixed)
  •   commands will be restricted to the Latin alphabet   (A ──► Z,   a ──► z)
  •   a command is followed by an optional number, which indicates the minimum abbreviation
  •   A valid abbreviation is a word that has:
  •   at least the minimum length of the word's minimum number in the command table
  •   compares equal (regardless of case) to the leading characters of the word in the command table
  •   a length not longer than the word in the command table
  •   ALT,   aLt,   ALTE,   and   ALTER   are all abbreviations of   ALTER 3
  •   AL,   ALF,   ALTERS,   TER,   and   A   aren't valid abbreviations of   ALTER 3
  •   The   3   indicates that any abbreviation for   ALTER   must be at least three characters
  •   Any word longer than five characters can't be an abbreviation for   ALTER
  •   o,   ov,   oVe,   over,   overL,   overla   are all acceptable abbreviations for   overlay 1
  •   if there isn't a number after the command,   then there isn't an abbreviation permitted


Task
  •   The command table needn't be verified/validated.
  •   Write a function to validate if the user "words"   (given as input)   are valid   (in the command table).
  •   If the word   is   valid,   then return the full uppercase version of that "word".
  •   If the word isn't valid,   then return the lowercase string:   *error*       (7 characters).
  •   A blank input   (or a null input)   should return a null string.
  •   Show all output here.


An example test case to be used for this task

For a user string of:

 riG   rePEAT copies  put mo   rest    types   fup.    6       poweRin

the computer program should return the string:

 RIGHT REPEAT *error* PUT MOVE RESTORE *error* *error* *error* POWERINPUT

Input:  riG   rePEAT copies  put mo   rest    types   fup.    6       poweRin
Output: RIGHT REPEAT *error* PUT MOVE RESTORE *error* *error* *error* POWERINPUT

ARM Assembly

This example is in need of improvement:



Please include the required/mandatory test cases mentioned in the task's requirements:

riG   rePEAT   copies   put   mo   rest   types   fup.   6   poweRin

Note that the test cases are in mixed case.

Also note that   put   isn't an error.

Using a List Object

Object Queue is a list (using a hash table) which can hold same keys (strings or numbers or mix of them). Always the Exist(aQueuePointer, "word") set the internal index to the last key with name "word" if return true. We read the item in that index using Eval$(aQueuePointer) for string value, or Eval(aQueuePointer) for aritmetic value. We can't delete keys from anywhere, but only from the last entries using Drop statement to drop a number of keys. Here we didn't use drop, we have only a table of words.

The interesting part below is the compare function. We'll use it when storing our entries ( {"add";1}, {"alter";3}, etc ) and when looking for a word, from a given abbreviation. For the former, a simple comparison function on strings is enough, but for the latter, we need to ensure that the word corresponds to the abbreviation (the abbreviation is a substring of the word and the abbreviation length is sufficient).

module Entry = struct
  type t = { word : string ; min : int }
  let compare e1 e2 =
    let n1 = length e1.word in
    if n1 < e2.min || n1 > length e2.word then
      compare e1.word e2.word
    else
      compare (sub e1.word 0 n1) (sub e2.word 0 n1)
end

module Table = Set.Make(Entry)

The few functions below are used to build the table from the string at the beginning.

let clean_strings strs =
  List.filter (fun w -> w <> "" && w <> " ") strs

let rec split = function
  | []      -> Table.empty

  | [w]     ->
     Table.singleton { word=w ; min=length w }

  | w::x::t ->
     try
       let m = int_of_string x in
       Table.add { word=uppercase_ascii w ; min=m } (split t)
     with Failure _ ->
       let m = length w in
       Table.add { word=uppercase_ascii w ; min=m } (split (x::t))

let make_table table_as_string =
  split_on_char ' ' table_as_string
  |> clean_strings
  |> split

Finally, here is the function looking for a word :

let abbrev (table:Table.t) (w:string) : string =
  let w = uppercase_ascii w in
  try
    let e = Table.find { word=w ; min=length w } table in e.word
  with Not_found -> "*error*"

let rec check (table:Table.t) (inputs:string list) : unit =
  List.map (abbrev table) inputs
  |> List.iter (Printf.printf "%s ");
  print_newline ()
      
let main =
  let table = make_table table_as_string in
  let inputs = ["riG";"rePEAT";"copies";"put";"mo";"rest";"types";"fup.";"6";"poweRin"] in
  check table inputs;
  exit 0
Output:
Input:              riG       rePEAT    copies    put       mo        rest      types     fup.      6         poweRin

use std::collections::HashMap;

// The plan here is to build a hashmap of all the commands keyed on the minimum number of
// letters than can be provided in the input to match. For each known command it will appear
// in a list of possible commands for a given string lengths. A command can therefore appear a
// number of times. For example, the command 'recover' has a minimum abbreviation length of 3.
// In the hashmap 'recover' will be stored behind keys for 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 as any abbreviation of
// 'recover' from 3 until 7 letters inclusive can match. This way, once the length of the input
// string is known a subset of possible matches can be retrieved immediately and then checked.
