The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦). In particular:
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
To build:
make all
To use:
./esde data-file word
where data-file contains lines of < 255 chars in length.
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
When reading the source be careful to distinguish between variable names and library functions.
If you still don't know what it does, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex.
Author's remarks:
what this program does
This program searches in the file words which have the same Soundex code of the given word, and print out lines with those words.
The Soundex code is used to find similar sounding words.
Soundex code begins with the first letter of the word followed by a three-digit code. This is the algorithm:
- Every letter in the word beyond the first letter is replaced by a digit.
- Replace all pairs of the same code by single code (e.g.
R011235->R01235). - Remove all zeroes (e.g.
R01235->R1235). - If length of code is > 4, get only first 4 characters (e.g.
R1235->R123). - If length of code is < 4, add zeros (e.g.
T12->T120).
These are the codes:
0 = A, E, H, I, O, U, W, Y
1 = B, P, F, V
2 = C, S, G, J, K, Q, X, Z
3 = D, T
4 = L
5 = M, N
6 = R
information about an info file:
An info file should be a text file consisting of lines of text (max. 256 bytes in each line).
