Exercise: Spell Checking
Fixing spelling mistakes
One aspect of fixing spelling mistakes is to find and replace incorrect words.
Is there a function in Clojure or one of its libraries we can use to replace the mis-spelt word in these sentences?
"simplicity ovr complexity"
Or maybe someone has broken letter h and you can help with that?
"ello friends. ello Clojurians. ello developers around our world."
()
Again, the clojure.string library helps us by providing the replace function.
;; Replace in this string the characters ovr with the characters over
(clojure.string/replace "simplicity ovr complexity" "ovr" "over")
;; => "simplicity over complexity"
(clojure.string/replace "ello friends. ello Clojurians. ello developers around our world." "ello" "Hello")
;; => "Hello friends. Hello Clojurians. Hello developers around our world."
The clojure.stringclojure.string library
Remember that there are specific functions you can use in the clojure.string library
- clojure.string/split - split a string based on a pattern (regex)
- clojure.string/subs - get part of a string
- clojure.string/replace - replace part of the string based on a pattern (regex)
- clojure.string/includes? - does a string include another string (true or false)
