The frequency of a word refers to how many times it appears in a given text or dataset. In Java, getting the frequency of a word can be helpful in a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as text analysis, text classification, and information retrieval. For example, the frequency of a word can be used to determine the most common words in a text, which can then be used to classify the text or extract meaningful information from it.
To get the frequency of words in a string, we can follow an algorithm:
- Use a Map data structure to store the occurrence of each word in a string.
- Check to see if the current word is in the map by going through the full string. Update the frequency of the current word if it is already there; else, enter the word with frequency 1.
- The frequency of each term is printed as you go around the map.
This is an effortless way to find all the words occurring multiple times in a string of words or a file.
