Question

Hi folks;
I am in the process of creating a spell checker program that reads in text and returns the corrected text including any amendments made by the user.
public String checkText(String textToCheck){
/*this method checks the text that has been passed in until it encounters an error or until there are no more words to check */
StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(textToCheck);
//breaks up the string into a series of tokens, or words separated by spaces
boolean noMistakes = true;                    //Assume that no mistakes have been found in the text
boolean wordFound;                                        //variable indicating whether or not the word is contained in the dictionary
while (tok.hasMoreTokens() && noMistakes==true) {//open while loop
currentToken = tok.nextToken();
//System.out.println(currentToken);
if (! Character.isDigit(c)) {// ignore numbers
wordFound = contains(currentToken);//is the word contained in the dictionary
if (wordFound == false) {//checks the dictionary for the existence of that word
     noMistakes=false;
     //display an error message
     String errorMessage = (processedString + " has not been found in the dictionary");
     resultField.setText(errorMessage);     
     //highlight the mis-spelt word
     //get a list of suggestions for the misspelt word     
}//close while loop
     if (noMistakes==true){
          resultField.setText("Finished checking text. No errors found.");          
          //display error message once there is no more text to check
     return textArea.getText();
}//end procedureHowever, this procedure returns a string when the program encounters an error, rather than when the text has all been checked.
Has anyone any suggestions so that I can amend this program so that it returns a value only when all the text has been checked, rather than when the first error is encountered please.
Thanks and regards,
Sean

Answer 1

every opening bracket { should have a corresponding closing bracket }. in your code this is not the case. first if - where's the closing bracket? then you are closing th while loop (as you say in the comment), but in fact this is an if you are closing
