What does this program do ?

• It takes in a training dataset and a text and produces a binary decision wether the text is ham or spam, the accuracy depends on the dataset.

This project consists of two classes:

• Word is the class that represents a word. It records the frequency of each occurence classified as either spam or ham of the word. It also calculates the probability of that word being a spam or a ham if the parameter totHam and totSpam is passed into one of its function.
• Bayes is the class that takes care of reading in two arguments, the former is the training dataset and the latter is the text to be classified. It also takes all the sum of probabilities of all words to decide wether the text is ham or spam.
