AN INDEX WRITER PROBLEM STATEMENT
An index writer will produce an alphabetized list (an index) of
important words (word list) and phrases found in a document of
any length. Associated with each word and phrase in the index
will be a listing of all of the page numbers (in ascending order) where
that word or phrase may be found in the document.
The index writer will exclude lists of common words (e.g., articles
and prepositions) that will not appear in the index created. The index
writer will ignore the textual separators (such as spaces, line
endings, punctuation marks). The index writer will determine the
maximum number of lines for a page and the maximum number of
words for a line in a page.
(Problem Statement – continued )
The index writer will provide a user interface which will allow the
user to put a certain word either on common word list, word list, or
ignored word list.
For fine tuning, the index writer will form valid phrases from the
word list. The user interface should also provide the user the ability
to build phrases from the word list, then add the phrase into the
word list.
The final product will be an index list with two columns and a
common word list. The common word list is for the user to modify
if one wants to add or delete a word from the common word list.
The words or phrases of the final index list will be on the left
column, the page number on the right, such as an instance
commonly seen in the textbooks.
