Print statistics and attributes of both inputted and new lists
sts10 opened this issue · comments
It could either be on or off by default, not sure yet. Things to include:
- list length
- entropy per word
- shortest word length
- longest word length
- minimum edit distance
- minimum unique prefix
- is over brute force line for English lowercase
- if free of prefix codes
Maybe using a table-printing crate like prettytable-rs or comfy-table.
I've now calculated all but one of the desired statistics in a function in main.rs. Rather than use a table crate, I'm just printing it as nicely as I can by hand. Example:
Attributes of new list
----------------------
List length : 5133
Entropy per word : 12.3256
Length of shortest word: 3 (aim)
Length of longest word : 9 (zoologist)
Free of prefix words : true
Above brute force line : true
Shortest edit distance : 2
Done! Think I got the "Unique character prefix" statistic correct.
Could still explore using a crate to make a nicer table.
