A technical test for a well-known company

Book Parsing

The Problem

1. To write an application that outputs the individual words that appear in the book, and how many times that word appears in the text file.
2. The second part is to also output whether the number of times each word appears is a prime number.

You may ignore punctuation and capitalisation.

The Challenges

This is my first attempt at writing C#, however, the company have been kind enough to allow me to write it in Ruby also.

The Technologies

• Ruby
• RSpec
• Git(Hub)
• C#
• Xamarin Studio
• Mono
• NUnit

The Instructions

Ruby Version

To run the application run irb:

require "./ruby/lib/book_parser"
=> true
parser = BookParser.new("text.txt")
=> #<BookParser:0x007f80f1d53260 @book="*The Project ...
puts parser.report
Word  |  Number of Words  |  Prime?
The  |  3419  |  False
Project  |  33  |  False
...

C# Version

Load the project and run it within MonoDevelop.
