Naive bayesian classifier in java - can anyonetraslate this for me please??

Question

Hi, ive written out how i want the classifier to work with regards to authorship attrbution, but im having trouble translating it into java since im new to this language and havent really done any programming before. This may not make sense as a classifier but its how i want my program to work. There's a training text file (a list of 300 words taken from the text of an author), and two author text files (two files with 50 words in each, these words r distinguishing words of the authors). Can you help??
PART 1
For each author distinguisher set, For total number of distinguisher words in each training text, For each author's distinguisher words, If word same as training text word, add to token set, otherwise ignore Return token out
For each token count Divide number of words in token count by number of words in author distinguisher set (store value!)
PART 2
For each author dstinguisher set, Divide the number of words that appear in training set by total number of words in distinguisher set (store value!)
PART 3
Divide number of words in training set that appear in author distinguisher set by the total number of words in the training set (store value!)
PART 4
(VALUE FROM PART 1 * VALUE FROM PART 2) / VALUE FROM PART 3
repeat all the above for Author 2
thanks to anyone that can help!

Answer 1

a pretty challenging assignment for someone that is new to the language. most new kids get "hello world".
"trouble translating it" - what do you want? no one will write this for you. give it a try and post specific questions when they come up. if you can't do that, go drop the course. it sounds like you don't have the prerequisites.
when i read the descriptions, they write themselves:
1. read in the training text file and store it in memory in a data structure. do this once.
2. read in each of the author training files. if a word doesn't appear in the data structure, add it.
3. you'll need a data structure that will let you keep a running total of word count by word.
4. division - have they taught you that yet?
so - can you read a file? do you know any data structures that might be suitable? (hint: think Map)
break the problem up into smaller parts. can you read a file? can you break it up into words? do you know how to store those words? do you know how to keep a running total? solve each one and your problem will be solved.
