Description
Project Statement: Taken from Project 5, Chapter 19, Page 573.
==================
Suppose that we want to help physicians to diagnose illnesses. A physician
observes a patient’s symptoms and considers the illnesses that could be
associated with those symptoms. Design and implement a class PhysiciansHelper
that provide a list of those illnesses.
PhysiciansHelper should contain a dictionary of illnesses and symptoms.
A method should read a text file of illnesses and their symptoms into
the dictionary. See format in sample data file.
PhysiciansHelper should read a list of symptoms for a patient.
A method should read a list of symptoms and store into a list.
Then, it finds a list illnesses that are associated with those symptoms.
See format in sample run output.
Note: I have modified specification and requirements of this project
Project requirements:
=====================
You will need to complete two methods in PhysiciansHelper class:
public void processDatafile();
public void processSymptoms();
Refer to PhysiciansHelper for detailed info.
* You must use the predefined private Map<String, List<String>> symptomChecker
to store symptoms to illnesses mapping info. See format in sample run output.
* All string data are not case sensitive, i.e. should work for either uppercase
or lowercase letters.
* In processSymptoms() methods, you must
– list possible symptoms in sorted order.
– read user input symptoms in single line
– check for invalid symptoms and eliminate duplicated symptoms
– display result in format as shown in sample output (must count number of matched symptoms)
* Use Java API Map and List in your project
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Map.html
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/List.html
Here are some methods that you may need:
Map: get(), put(), containsKey(), keySet(), entrySet()
List: add(), contains(), size()
Sample Run: Note: I expect similar output from your program
