A program to test if a given set of words are partial or whole anagrams for a key word.

An anagram is a word that you can rearrange the letters and it becomes a new word. For example, "bread" is an anagram of "beard".

Create a web page, with MVC, where a user can input a single word and a list of other words that may be anagrams.

After submitting the form, the user should be told which of the list of words were anagrams.

Start by writing the specs and method first, before you begin creating a MVC webpage.

The Array.Sort() method may come in handy, so try it out in the REPL to see exactly what it does.

If you finish this, modify your function to handle partial matches - in other words, 'hat' should match 'path'.

• Display a view that is a title screen as Index()

• Display a Index() with empty list as @Model.

• Use form to ask user for a key word to test against on Index()

  • EXPECTED INPUT: [Word]
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: NONE

• Add a form for a word list to the Index()

  • EXPECTED INPUT: of Words
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: NONE

• Add SUBMIT button

• Link SUBMIT button to "/"

• Create WORD object

• Break Key word into an Array of Chars

  1. String Key = "test";
  2. var ourChars = Key.ToCharArray();

• Sort ourChars

  • EXPECTED INPUT: ["B", "E", "A", "R", "D"];
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: (each Char on a separate line, "A", "B", "D", "E", "R")

• Break their word list into an array of strings split at space and punctuation

  1. string[] wordList = Regex.Split(value, "/[^!-~] /");

• Break their first word into an Array of Chars and send the chars to the Console

  1. var theirChars = wordList[0].ToCharArray();
  • EXPECTED INPUT: ["B", "R", "E", "A", "D"];
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: (each Char on a separate line)

• Sort theirChars (the array of their first word)

  • EXPECTED INPUT: ["B", "E", "A", "R", "D"];
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: (each Char on a separate line, "A", "B", "D", "E", "R")

• Compare our key word Char array against their first word Char array

  1. var theirChars = wordList[0].ToCharArray();
  2. if(ourChars.SequenceEqual(theirChars)) { . . . }
  • EXPECTED INPUT: ["B", "E", "A", "R", "D"];
  • EXPECTED INPUT: ["B", "R", "E", "A", "D"];
  • EXPECTED OUTPUT:
    • TRUE: Write to Console "That word is a match!"
    • FALSE: Write to Console "That word is NOT a match!"

• ForEach Loop through the String array of their words.

  • EXPECTED OUTPUT: Write their String to Console, one word and a carriage return at time

• ForEach Loop through String array of their words, and break each string in the array into an array of Chars

• EXPECTED OUTPUT: Write the individual Chars of their String to Console, one char and a carriage return at time

• ForEach Loop through String array of their words as above but compare each Char array with our key Word Char array

  • TRUE: Join their word Char array back to a string and add it to a List of successful compares
  • FALSE: iterate loop

• Display successful compares list of above step to screen via View() on Index page.

• run the command 'dotnet restore' to download the necessary packages.
• run the command 'dotnet run' to build and run the server on localhost.
• use your preferred web browser to navigate to localhost:5000
