Ordered words
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
An ordered word is a word in which the letters appear in alphabetic order.
Examples include abbey and dirt.
Find and display all the ordered words in the dictionary unixdict.txt that have the longest word length.
(Examples that access the dictionary file locally assume that you have downloaded this file yourself.)
The display needs to be shown on this page.

result←longest_ordered_words file_path
f←file_path ⎕NTIE 0 ⍝ open file
text←⎕NREAD f 'char8' ⍝ read vector of 8bit chars

⍝ find max of word lengths, filter only words with that length
result←ordered_words/⍨lengths=⍨⌈/lengths←≢¨ordered_words
The ordered character filter is a train which uses gradeup to say which order you would have to pick the characters, to put them in order. e.g. ⍋ 'zxy' is 2 3 1 because you'd have to pick the second character, then the third, then the first, to put them in order. If they are in order then the result is the integers 1 2 3 .. to the length of the word.
And it generates the integers up to the length of the word, e.g. 1 2 3. and compares if those two arrays are the same.
Then uses that information as a filter against the original word list.
The result is: lengths of each ordered word, which equal the max-reduce of the list of lengths (longest word), used as a filter against the ordered word list.

This script uses the ASCII value of each letter to determine its place in the alphabet. Given a dictionary not all in the same case, StringLower could be used.

Befunge
The word list is read from stdin, so ideally requires an interpreter that can accept input redirected from a file. It's still possible to enter the test data manually, though - you would just need to mark the end of the list with a blank line.
Memory usage isn't very efficient - the matching list is stored one word per line - so on a standard Befunge-93 interpreter there is an upper limit of 22 matches. This is not a problem for the unix dictionary, which only requires 16, but it's theoretically possible that other data sets could run out of space.

Because Cowgol is meant to run on small systems, this program does not store the words in memory. Instead, it scans through the file twice; once to find the maximum length of the ordered words it finds, and once to actually print the words.

Faster, same output.

Lower level, much faster with large input files (about as fast as the memory mapped C version). The output is the same. It works only with ASCII texts, but unlike the C entry this is portable.

Forth
This program uses a string stack, which means that all matching words are stored on a stack. The longest word ends up on the top of the stack.

2dup bl >r \ start off with a space

ordered
Since the longest word is on top of the stack, the only thing to be done is to pop all words from the stack until a shorter word is encountered. Consequently, all words are listed in reverse order:

Go has strings and Unicode and stuff, but with the dictionary all ASCII and lower case, strings and Unicode seem overkill. I just worked with byte slices here, only converting the final result to strings for easy output.

)
func main() {
// read into memory in one chunk
b, err := ioutil.ReadFile("unixdict.txt")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
// split at line ends
bss := bytes.Split(b, []byte{'\n'})
// accumulate result
var longest int
var list [][]byte
for _, bs := range bss {
// don't bother with words shorter than
// our current longest ordered word
if len(bs) < longest {
continue
}
// check for ordered property
var lastLetter byte
for i := 0; ; i++ {
if i == len(bs) {
// end of word. it's an ordered word.
// save it and break from loop
if len(bs) > longest {
longest = len(bs)

}

REXX
This problem assumes (or implies) an order of letter case, but fortunately, there're no uppercase letters
in the (default) dictionary to see which programs would fail when not recognizing this distinction.
In ASCII
, A is less than a, while in EBCDIC
, it's the other way around.
The problem can be avoided by first converting the word to a specific case, and then test for ordered
letters in that word (as indeed, this REXX entry does).
Output could be improved by sorting the words in the dictionary, but adding a sort would bulk up the program;
but since the word list (in this case) is already in alphabetical order, this would-be improvement is
mostly moot.
/*REXX program lists (the longest) ordered word(s) from a supplied dictionary. */
iFID= 'UNIXDICT.TXT' /*the filename of the word dictionary. */
m= 1 /*maximum length of an ordered word(s).*/
call linein iFID, 1, 0 /*point to the first word in dictionary*/
@.= /*placeholder array for list of words. */
do j=1 while lines(iFID)\==0; x=linein(iFID) /*keep reading until file is exhausted.*/
w= length(x); if w<m then iterate /*Word not long enough? Then ignore it.*/

leql
is a binary predicate testing a pair of lists for less or equal lengtheql
tests for equal lengthlleq
tests for lexically less or equal relatedness between characters or stringsordered
takes a binary predicate to a predicate operating on a list, which tests whether every pair of consecutive items is related by the binary predicate- postfix operator
*~
turns a predicate into a list filtering function, deleting any item not satisfying it - postfix operator
|=
turns an equivalance relational predicate into function that partitions a list into a list of equivalence classes - postfix operator
$^
turns a predicate into a function that searches a list for the maximum member with respect to it - postfix operator
@bh
makes its operand function apply to the pair of heads of a pair of lists - loading a file
unixdict.txt
into a list of strings is implied by using its name as an identifier and supplying it to the compiler in a command line parameter

File("dict.txt").pump(Void,fcn(w){
w=w.strip(); // get rid of newline
if(isLex(w)){ n:=w.len();
if(n>sz){ words.clear(w); sz=n }
else if(n==sz) words.append(w)
}
})
println("Num words: %d, all size %d\n".fmt(words.len(),sz));
words.pump(Console.println);
Or, reading dictionary into memory:
fcn isLex(word){ word.reduce(fcn(p,c){ (p<=c) and c or T(Void.Stop,False) }) }
lwords:=File("dict.txt").readln(*).apply("strip").filter(isLex);
max:=lwords.reduce(fcn(n,w){ w.len()>n and w.len() or n },0);
lwords=lwords.filter(fcn(w,n){ w.len()==n },max);
println("Num words: %d, all size %d\n".fmt(lwords.len(),max));
words.pump(Console.println);
- Output:
