This GraphBase module provides two external subroutines: $$\vcenter{\halign{#\hfil\cr |words|, a routine that creates a graph based on five-letter words;\cr |find_word|, a routine that looks for a given vertex in such a graph.\cr}}$$ Examples of the use of these routines can be found in the demo programs called |word_components| and |ladders|. @(gb_words.h@>= extern Graph *words(); extern Vertex *find_word(); @ The subroutine call `|words(n,wt_vector,wt_threshold,seed)|' constructs a graph based on the five-letter words in \.{words.dat}. Each vertex of the graph corresponds to a single five-letter word. Two words are adjacent in the graph if they are the same except in one letter position. For example, `\.{words}' is adjacent to other words such as `\.{cords}', `\.{wards}', `\.{woods}', `\.{worms}', and `\.{wordy}'. The constructed graph has at most |n| vertices; indeed, it has exactly |n| vertices if there are enough qualifying words. A word `qualifies' if its weight is |wt_threshold| or more, where the `weight' is computed from a table pointed to by~|wt_vector| according to rules described below. (If parameter~|wt_vector| is |NULL|, i.e., \.{NULL}, default weights are used.) The fourth parameter, |seed|, is the seed of a random number generator. All words of \.{words.dat} are sorted by weight. The first vertex of the graph will be the word of largest weight, the second vertex will have second-largest weight, and so on. Words of equal weight will appear in pseudo-random order, as determined by the value of |seed| in a system-independent fashion. The first |n| words in order of decreasing weight are chosen to be vertices of the graph. However, if fewer than |n| words have weight |>= wt_threshold|, the graph will contain only the words that qualify. In such cases the graph will have fewer than |n| vertices---possibly none at all. Exception: The special case |n=0| is equivalent to the case when |n| has been set to the highest possible value. It causes all qualifying words to appear. @ Every word in \.{words.dat} has been classified as `common' (\.*), `advanced' (\.+), or `unusual' (\.\ ). Each word has also been assigned seven frequency counts $c_1$, \dots,~$c_7$, separated by commas; these counts show how often the word has occurred in different publication contexts: $$\vcenter{\halign{$c_#$ times in &#\hfil\cr 1&the American Heritage Intermediate Corpus of elementary school material;\cr 2&the Brown Corpus of reading material from America;\cr 3&the Lancaster-Oslo/Bergen Corpus of reading material from Britain;\cr 4&the Melbourne-Surrey Corpus of newspaper material from Australia;\cr 5&the Revised Standard Version of the Bible;\cr 6&{\sl The \TeX book\/} and {\sl The {\logosl METAFONT\kern1pt}book\/} by D. E. Knuth;\cr 7&{\sl Concrete Mathematics\/} by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik.\cr}}$$ For example, one of the entries in \.{words.dat} is $$\.{happy*774,92,121,2,26,8,1}$$ indicating a common word with $c_1=774$, \dots, $c_7=1$. Parameter |wt_vector| points to an array of nine integers $(a,b,w_1,\ldots,w_7)$. The weight of each word is computed from these nine numbers by using the formula $$c_1w_1+\cdots+c_7w_7+ \cases{a,&if the word is `common';\cr b,&if the word is `advanced';\cr 0,&if the word is `unusual'.\cr}$$ The components of |wt_vector| must be chosen so that $$\max\bigl(\vert a\vert, \vert b\vert\bigr) + C_1\vert w_1\vert + \cdots +C_7\vert w_7\vert < 2^{30},$$ where $C_j$ is the maximum value of $c_j$ in the file; this restriction ensures that the |words| procedure will produce the same results on all computer systems. @ The maximum frequency counts actually present are $C_1=15194$, $C_2=3560$, $C_3=4467$, $C_4=460$, $C_5=6976$, $C_6=756$, and $C_7=362$; these can be found in the entries for the common words `\.{shall}', `\.{there}', `\.{which}', and `\.{would}'. The default weights are $a=100$, $b=10$, $c_1=4$, $c_2=c_3=2$, $c_4=c_5= c_6=c_7=1$. File \.{words.dat} contains 5678 words, of which 3294 are `common', 1189 are `advanced', and 1195 are `unusual'. Included among the unusual words are 823 having $c_1=\cdots=c_7=0$; such words will always have weight zero, regardless of the weight vector parameter. @= static int max_c[]={15194,3560,4467,460,6976,756,362}; /* maximum counts $C_j$ */ static int default_wt_vector[]={100,10,4,2,2,1,1,1,1}; /* use this if |wt_vector=NULL| */ @ Examples: If you call |words(2000,NULL,0,0)|, you get a graph with 2000 of the most common five-letter words of English, using the default weights. The GraphBase programs are designed to be system-independent, so that identical graphs will be obtained by everybody who asks for |words(2000,NULL,0,0)|. Equivalent experiments on algorithms for graph manipulation can therefore be performed by researchers in different parts of the world. The subroutine call |words(2000,NULL,0,s)| will produce slightly different graphs when the random seed |s| varies, because some words have equal weight. However, the graph for any particular value of~|s| will be the same on all computers. The seed value can be any integer in the range $0\le s<2^{31}$. Suppose you call |words(6000,w,1,0)|, with |w| defined by the \Cee\ declaration $$\hbox{|int w[9] = {1};|}$$ this means that $a=1$ and $b=w_1=\cdots=w_7=0$. Therefore you'll get a graph containing only the 3294 `common' words. Similarly, it's possible to obtain only the $3294+1189=4483$ non-`unusual' words, by specifying the weight vector $$\hbox{|int w[9] = {1,1};|}$$ this makes $a=b=1$ and $w_1=\cdots=w_7=0$. In both of these examples, the qualifying words all have weight~1, so the vertices of the graph will appear in pseudo-random order. If |w| points to an array of nine 0's, the call |words(n,w,0,s)| gives a random sample of |n| words, depending on |s| in a system-independent fashion. If the entries of the weight vector are all nonnegative, and if the weight threshold is zero, every word of \.{words.dat} will qualify. Thus you will obtain a graph with $\min(n,5678)$ vertices. If |w| points to an array with {\it negative\/} weights, the call |words(n,w,-0x7fffffff,0)| selects |n| of the {\it least\/} common words in \.{words.dat}. @ If the |words| routine encounters a problem, it returns |NULL|, after putting a code number into the external variable |panic_code|. This code number identifies the type of failure. Otherwise |words| returns a pointer to the newly created graph, which will be represented with the data structures explained in |gb_graph|. (The external variable |@!panic_code| is itself defined in |gb_graph|.) @d panic(c) @+{@+gb_free(node_blocks); panic_code=c;@+gb_alloc_trouble=0;@+return NULL;@+} @# @f Graph int /* |gb_graph| defines the |Graph| type and a few others */ @f Vertex int @f Area int @ Now let's get going on the program. The \Cee\ file \.{gb\_words.c} begins as follows: @p #include "gb_io.h" /* we will use the |gb_io| routines for input */ #include "gb_flip.h" /* we will use the |gb_flip| routines for random numbers */ #include "gb_graph.h" /* we will use the |gb_graph| data structures */ #include "gb_sort.h" /* and |gb_linksort| for sorting */ @# @@; @@; @@; @# Graph *words(n,wt_vector,wt_threshold,seed) unsigned n; /* maximum number of vertices desired */ int wt_vector[]; /* pointer to array of weights */ long wt_threshold; /* minimum qualifying weight */ long seed; /* random number seed */ {@+@@; gb_init_rand(seed); @; @; @; if (gb_alloc_trouble) { gb_recycle(new_graph); panic(alloc_fault); /* oops, we ran out of memory somewhere back there */ } return new_graph; } @ @= Graph *new_graph; /* the graph constructed by |words| */ @* Validating the weights. The first job that |words| needs to tackle is comparatively trivial: We want to verify the condition $$\max\bigl(\vert a\vert, \vert b\vert\bigr) + C_1\vert w_1\vert + \cdots +C_7\vert w_7\vert < 2^{30}.\eqno(*)$$ But this proves to be an interesting exercise in ``portable \Cee\ programming,'' because we don't want to risk integer overflow. Our approach will be to do the calculation first in floating point arithmetic, thereby ruling out cases that are clearly unacceptable; once that test is passed, we will safely be able to test the condition with ordinary integer arithmetic. Floating point arithmetic is system dependent, but we will use it carefully so as to obtain system-independent results. @= if (!wt_vector) wt_vector=default_wt_vector; else {@+register double flacc; register int *p,*q; register long acc; @; @; } @ The floating-point calculations are facilitated by a routine that converts an integer to its absolute value, expressed as a |double|: @= static double flabs(x) int x; {@+if (x>=0) return (double)x; return -((double)x); } @ Although floating point arithmetic is system dependent, we can certainly assume that at least sixteen bits of precision are used. This implies that the difference between |flabs(x)| and $\vert x\vert$ must be less than $2^{14}$. Also, if $x$ and $y$ are nonnegative values less than $2^{31}$, the difference between their floating-point sum and their true sum must be less than $2^{14}$. The floating point calculations in the following test will never reject a valid weight vector. For if condition $(*)$ holds, the floating-point value of $\max(\hbox{|flabs(a)|},\hbox{|flabs(b)|})+C_1*|flabs|(w_1)+\cdots +C_7*|flabs|(w_7)$ will be less than $2^{30}+(8+C_1+\cdots+C_7)2^{14}$, which is less than $2^{30}+2^{29}$. @= p=wt_vector; flacc=flabs(*p++); if (flacc=(double)0x60000000) /* this constant is $6\times2^{28}=2^{30}+2^{29}$ */ panic(very_bad_specs); /* whoa; the weight vector is way too big */ @ Conversely, if the floating point test just made is passed, the true value of the sum will be less than $2^{30}+2^{29}+2^{29}=2^{31}$; hence integer overflow will never occur when we make the following more refined test: @= p=wt_vector; acc=iabs(*p++); if (acc=0x40000000) panic(bad_specs); /* the weight vector is a bit too big */ @ @= static long iabs(x) int x; {@+if (x>=0) return (long)x; return -((long)x); } @* The input phase. Now we're ready to read \.{words.dat}. @= int c[7]; /* current counts $c_j$ */ register long wt; /* the weight of the current word */ char word[5]; /* the current five-letter word */ int nn=0; /* the number of qualifying words found so far */ @ As we read the words, we will form a linked list of nodes containing each qualifying word and its weight, using the memory management routines of |gb_graph| to allocate space for 111 nodes at a time. These nodes should be returned to available memory later, so we will keep them in a separate area under local control. The nodes start out with |key| and |link| fields, as required by the |gb_linksort| routine, which we'll use to sort by weight. The sort key must be nonnegative; we obtain it by adding $2^{30}$ to the weight. @d nodes_per_block 111 @= typedef struct node_struct { long key; /* the sort key (weight plus $2^{30}$) */ struct node_struct *link; /* links the nodes together */ char wd[5]; /* five-letter word (which typically consumes eight bytes, too bad) */ } node; @ @= node *next_node; /* the next node available for allocation */ node *bad_node; /* if |next_node=bad_node|, the node isn't really there */ node *stack_ptr; /* the most recently created node */ node *cur_node; /* current node being created or examined */ @ @= Area node_blocks; /* the memory area for blocks of nodes */ @ @= next_node=bad_node=stack_ptr=NULL; if (gb_open("words.dat")!=0) panic(early_data_fault); /* couldn't open |"words.dat"| using GraphBase conventions; |io_errors| tells why */ do @@; while (!gb_eof()); if (gb_close()!=0) panic(late_data_fault); /* something's wrong with |"words.dat"|; see |io_errors| */ @ @= {@+register int j; /* position in |word| */ for (j=0; j<5; j++) word[j]=gb_char(); @; if (wt>=wt_threshold) { /* it qualifies */ @; nn++; } gb_newline(); } @ @d copy5(y,x) { /* copy five characters from |*x| to |*y| */ *(y)=*(x); *((y)+1)=*((x)+1); *((y)+2)=*((x)+2); *((y)+3)=*((x)+3); *((y)+4)=*((x)+4); } @= if (next_node==bad_node) { cur_node=gb_alloc_type(nodes_per_block,@[node@],node_blocks); if (cur_node==NULL) panic(no_room+1); /* out of memory already */ next_node=cur_node+1; bad_node=cur_node+nodes_per_block; } else cur_node=next_node++; cur_node->key=wt+0x40000000; cur_node->link=stack_ptr; copy5(cur_node->wd,word); stack_ptr=cur_node; @ Recall that |gb_number()| returns 0, without giving an error, if no digit is present in the current position of the file being read. This implies that the \.{words.dat} file need not include zero counts explicitly. Furthermore, we can arrange things so that trailing zero counts are unnecessary; i.e., commas can be omitted if all counts following them on the current line are zero. @= {@+register int *p,*q; /* pointers to $C_j$ and $w_j$ */ register long c; /* current count */ switch (gb_char()) { case '*': wt=wt_vector[0];@+break; /* `common' word */ case '+': wt=wt_vector[1];@+break; /* `advanced' word */ case ' ': case'\n': wt=0;@+break; /* `unusual' word */ default: panic(syntax_error); /* unknown type of word */ } p=&max_c[0]; q=&wt_vector[2]; do { if (p==&max_c[7]) panic(syntax_error+1); /* too many counts */ c=gb_number(10); if (c>*p++) panic(syntax_error+2); /* count too large */ wt += c * *q++; } while (gb_char()==','); } @* The output phase. Once the input phase has examined all of \.{words.dat}, we are left with a stack of |nn| nodes containing the qualifying words, starting at |stack_ptr|. The next step is to call |gb_linksort|, which takes the qualifying words and distributes them into the 128 lists |gb_sorted[j]|, for |0<=j<128|. We can then access the words in order of decreasing weight by reading through these lists, starting with |gb_sorted[127]| and ending with |gb_sorted[0]|. (See the documention of |gb_linksort| in the |gb_sort| module.) The output phase therefore has the following general outline: @= gb_linksort(stack_ptr); @; if (gb_alloc_trouble==0 && n) { register int j; /* runs through sorted lists */ register node *p; /* the current node being output */ nn=n; for (j=127; j>=0; j--) for (p=(node*)gb_sorted[j]; p; p=p->link) { @wd| to the graph@>; if (--nn==0) goto done; } } done:gb_free(node_blocks); @ The only slightly unusual data structure needed is a set of five hash tables, one for each of the strings of four letters obtained by suppressing a single letter of a five-letter word. For example, a word like `\.{words}' will lead to entries for `\.{\ ords}', `\.{w\ rds}, `\.{wo\ ds}', `\.{wor\ s}', and `\.{word\ }', one in each of the hash tables. @d hash_prime 6997 /* a prime number larger than the total number of words */ @= typedef Vertex *hash_table[hash_prime]; @ @= Vertex *cur_vertex; /* the current vertex being created or examined */ char *next_string; /* where we'll store the next five-letter word */ @ @= static hash_table *htab; /* five dynamically allocated hash tables */ @ The weight of each word will be stored in the utility field |u.i| of its |Vertex| record.

After |words| has created a graph |g|, the user can remove the hash tables by calling the |gb_graph| subroutine |gb_free(g->aux_data)|. But if the hash tables have not been removed, another procedure can be used to find vertices that match or nearly match a given word. The subroutine call |find_word(q,f)| will return a pointer to a vertex that matches a given five-letter word~|q|, if that word is in the graph; otherwise, it returns |NULL| (i.e., \.{NULL}), after calling |f(v)| for each vertex~|v| whose word matches |q| in all but one letter position. @p Vertex *find_word(q,f) char *q; void (*f)(); /* |*f| should take one argument, of type |Vertex *| */ {@+register char *r; /* previous word possibly adjacent to |q| */ register Vertex **h; /* hash address for linear probing */ register long raw_hash; /* five-letter hash code before remaindering */ raw_hash=(((((((*q<<5)+*(q+1))<<5)+*(q+2))<<5)+*(q+3))<<5)+*(q+4); for (h=htab[0]+(raw_hash-(*q<<20)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[0]? h=htab[1]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (mtch(0) && match(1,2,3,4)) return *h; } @; return NULL; } @ @= for (h=htab[0]+(raw_hash-(*q<<20)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[0]? h=htab[1]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (match(1,2,3,4)) (*f)(*h); } for (h=htab[1]+(raw_hash-(*(q+1)<<15)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[1]? h=htab[2]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (match(0,2,3,4)) (*f)(*h); } for (h=htab[2]+(raw_hash-(*(q+2)<<10)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[2]? h=htab[3]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (match(0,1,3,4)) (*f)(*h); } for (h=htab[3]+(raw_hash-(*(q+3)<<5)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[3]? h=htab[4]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (match(0,1,2,4)) (*f)(*h); } for (h=htab[4]+(raw_hash-*(q+4)) % hash_prime; *h; h==htab[4]? h=htab[5]-1: h--) { r=(*h)->name; if (match(0,1,2,3)) (*f)(*h); } @* Index.
