Sorry, I mean in general - we can code the solutions if we feel comfortable quickly creating a little program and testing in on the go. But yeah bash sed awk - depending on the question
I would love that as well 100 support this. Just like Michael released the tests after ass1, to release it for ass2 so we can have some idea. It will give people confidence before going into exam. I hope you will consider it
I think a lot of people just worried because for this unit marking is pretty strict, its either you get it right and get the marks, or you dont get it right and lose a lot of marks. That's why 50 of the grade that "hangs in the air" at the moment is...
Hello Michael, is it possible that your program counts "that'd" as two words? As I think I got it to match and that is the only logical explanation why it is not matching. Because my contractions are off by 1 and that counts is off by 1
Hello Michael, I have noticed that Patterson sample.txt has 3 contractions, and I only can count 2 - won't and don't.
I assume your code calculates 'em as a contraction, however by definition - contraction is a simple word followed by ' followed by le...
Hmm, not sure actually.. I am just trying to match the profiles that we are given. I am just counting .? and it works fine for the samples (unless, i missed something). But for the longer texts we get 10 margin, so that shouldnt be the issue either...
Thank you for your reply. Understandable. However, if I understand correctly, Monday week will be after the deadline for the project 2, so I was wondering if it would be possible to release the test cases that are used for the marking? This way we ca...
"For example, sample1.txt contains "St. Lawrence". English speakers know that St. is a contraction of Saint (or Street), but that is well beyond this unit. From our point of view, it looks like a full-stop after St."
Yeah its fine, its beyond this un...
Oh okay, I hope Michael thinks otherwise. From my experience in UWA - if lecture wasn t accessible for everyone - it wasn t examined. Otherwise people like me (that didn t watch 2hours of lectures) are significantly disadvantaged over people th...
Hi Michael.
Is it possible to release the test cases that will be used to mark project 1 so we can play around ourselves, once people with special considerations submit everything?
I personally find it very helpful in terms of learning, and understan...
Hi Michael. I was looking at project 2 now and was wondering, would it be possible to provide some input output pairs for the reference like in project 1?
Hi, sorry if it has already been asked but I didnt find anything about it. I was wondering what to do if there is no "most common word" for example -nth 20 will likely result in all words being different. Or in some cases second most common word coul...
Hi Michael, I am a little bit concerned about the edge cases. For example, before this conversation I didnt realise Viet Nam and Vietnam are both widely used. So I wouldn't even know that it needs to be specifically handled. And of course there are e...
Hello just looking at the part 1 of the assignment and I have a few questions
1) are we going to be checked against the excel file provided, or is it just a format of the file?
2) Malaria incidence (per 1 000 population at risk) is the same everywhe...
