Word frequency is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task

Given a text file and an integer n, print the n most common words in the file (and the number of their occurrences) in decreasing frequency.

For the purposes of this task:

  • A word is a sequence of one or more contiguous letters
  • You are free to define what a letter is. Underscores, accented letters, apostrophes, and other special characters can be handled at the example writer's discretion. For example, you may treat a compound word like "well-dressed" as either one word or two. The word "it's" could also be one or two words as you see fit. You may also choose not to support non US-ASCII characters. Feel free to explicitly state the thoughts behind the program decisions.
  • Assume words will not span multiple lines.
  • Do not worry about normalization of word spelling differences. Treat "color" and "colour" as two distinct words.
  • Uppercase letters are considered equivalent to their lowercase counterparts
  • Words of equal frequency can be listed in any order

Show example output using Les Misérables from Project Gutenberg as the text file input and display the top 10 most used words.


History

This task was originally taken from programming pearls from Communications of the ACM June 1986 Volume 29 Number 6 where this problem is solved by Donald Knuth using literate programming and then critiqued by Doug McIlroy, demonstrating solving the problem in a 6 line Unix shell script (provided as an example below).

Factor

This program expects stdin to read from a file via the command line. ( e.g. invoking the program in Windows: >factor word-count.factor < input.txt ) The definition of a word here is simply any string surrounded by some combination of spaces, punctuation, or newlines. <lang factor> USING: ascii io math.statistics prettyprint sequences splitting ; IN: rosetta-code.word-count

Kotlin

The author of the Perl 6 entry has given a good account of the difficulties with this task and, in the absence of any clarification on the various issues, I've followed a similar 'literal' approach.

So, after first converting the text to lower case, I've assumed that a word is any sequence of one or more lower-case Unicode letters and obtained the same results as the Perl 6 version.

There is no change in the results if the numerals 0-9 are also regarded as letters. <lang scala>// version 1.1.3

import java.io.File

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

   val text = File("135-0.txt").readText().toLowerCase()
   val r = Regex("""\p{javaLowerCase}+""")
   val matches = r.findAll(text)
   val wordGroups = matches.map { it.value }
                   .groupBy { it }
                   .map { Pair(it.key, it.value.size) }
                   .sortedByDescending { it.second }
                   .take(10)
   println("Rank  Word  Frequency")
   println("====  ====  =========")
   var rank = 1
   for ((word, freq) in wordGroups) 
       System.out.printf("%2d    %-4s    %5d\n", rank++, word, freq)

Perl 6

Works with: Rakudo version 2017.07

Note: much of the following exposition is no longer critical to the task as the requirements have been updated, but is left here for historical and informational reasons.

This is slightly trickier than it appears initially. The task specifically states: "A word is a sequence of one or more contiguous letters", so contractions and hyphenated words are broken up. Initially we might reach for a regex matcher like /\w+/ , but \w includes underscore, which is not a letter but a punctuation connector; and this text is full of underscores since that is how Project Gutenberg texts denote italicized text. The underscores are not actually parts of the words though, they are markup.

We might try /A-Za-z/ as a matcher but this text is bursting with French words containing various accented glyphs. Those are letters, so words will be incorrectly split up; (Misérables will be counted as 'mis' and 'rables', probably not what we want.)

Actually, in this case /A-Za-z/ returns very nearly the correct answer. Unfortunately, the name "Alèthe" appears once (only once!) in the text, gets incorrectly split into Al & the, and incorrectly reports 41089 occurrences of "the". The text has several words like "Panathenæa", "ça", "aérostiers" and "Keksekça" so the counts for 'a' are off too. The other 8 of the top 10 are "correct" using /A-Za-z/, but it is mostly by accident.

A more accurate regex matcher would be some kind of Unicode aware /\w/ minus underscore. It may also be useful, depending on your requirements, to recognize contractions with embedded apostrophes, hyphenated words, and hyphenated words broken across lines.

Here is a sample that shows the result when using various different matchers. <lang perl6>sub MAIN ($filename, $top = 10) {

   my $file = $filename.IO.slurp.lc.subst(/ (<[\w]-[_]>'-')\n(<[\w]-[_]>) /, {$0 ~ $1}, :g );
   my @matcher = (
       rx/ <[a..z]>+ /,    # simple 7-bit ASCII
       rx/ \w+ /,          # word characters with underscore
       rx/ <[\w]-[_]>+ /,  # word characters without underscore
       rx/ <[\w]-[_]>+[["'"|'-'|"'-"]<[\w]-[_]>+]* /   # word characters without underscore but with hyphens and contractions
   );
   for @matcher -> $reg {
       say "\nTop $top using regex: ", $reg.perl;
       .put for $file.comb( $reg ).Bag.sort(-*.value)[^$top];
   }

}</lang>

REXX

version 1

This REXX version doesn't need to sort the list of words.

Currently, this version recognizes all the accented (non-Latin) accented letters that are present in the text (file) that is specified to be used   (and some other non-Latin letters as well).   This means that the word     Alèthe     is treated as one word, not as two words     Al  the     (and not thereby adding two words).

This version also supports words that contain embedded apostrophes ( ' )     [that is, within a word, but not those words that start or end with an apostrophe; for those words, the apostrophe is elided].

Thus,   it's   is counted separately from   it   or   its.

Since REXX doesn't support UTF-8 encodings, code was added to this REXX version to support the accented letters in the mandated input file. <lang rexx>/*REXX pgm displays top 10 words in a file (includes foreign letters), case is ignored.*/ parse arg fID top . /*obtain optional arguments from the CL*/ if fID== | fID=="," then fID= 'les_mes.TXT' /*None specified?
