For this homework, you will create a class that implements the SimpleIndex interface and provide a missing default implementation in the SimpleIndex interface. See the Javadoc comments in the template code for additional details.
Below are some hints that may help with this homework assignment:
-
The code will not compile until you implement the
SimpleIndexinterface in theTextFileIndexclass. -
When creating a default implementation, you can call other methods in the interface even if they are not implemented.
-
Most of the implementations require 1 to 3 lines of code.
-
This homework helps you think about design for the project, but should not be used directly in your project (which is an inverted index, and this homework is a forward index).
These hints are optional. There may be multiple approaches to solving this homework.
See the Javadoc and TODO comments in the template code in the src/main/java directory for additional details. You must pass the tests provided in the src/test/java directory. Do not modify any of the files in the src/test directory.
See the Homework Guides for additional details on homework requirements and submission.
