Chapter 10, Problem 5PP

Program Plan Intro

Adding <> brackets for each abbreviation

Program plan:

• Include required header files.
• Define the “AbreviationMarker” class.
• Define the “main()” method.
  • Create an object for “Scanner” class.
  • Get the input file name from user.
  • Get the output file name from user.
  • The “while” loop executes till it reaches the end of the file. If yes, read the next line from an input file and increment the “count” by “1”.
  • Create an array to store the abbreviations.
  • The “for” loop executes until it reach the count value.
    • Call “trim()” method to trim the input line.
  • The “while” loop executes till it reaches the end of the file. If yes, call the “processLine()” method to scan the file and process each line.
• Define the “processLine()” method.
  • The “for” loop executes until the length of abbreviation. If yes, call “processAbbreviation()” method to process a single line.
  • Return the line.
• Define the “processAbbreviation()” method.
  • Declare the required variables.
  • The “while” loop executes until the “foundAt” is not equal to “-1”. If yes,
    • Found the abbreviation and deconstruct the line around it.
    • Check whether the before and after character is letter or digit. If yes, set the abbreviation.
    • Otherwise, set the open and close tag <> and process the rest of the input.
    • Return the result.
