Pulling It All Together: Word Analysis in Go
Haythem Balti · 2022
When readers start any data analysis process, the first step is to ensure that the data is in a format that their system can use and ensure that the data is available for use. A function to tokenize any input string is a simple approach in terms of input for accomplishing this. The function can accept as input a string and returns a list that represents the words in the string with the order preserved. This function should split the string into words based on spaces or punctuation. Readers can simplify the problem by identifying each punctuation mark and replacing it with a space. Readers need to split the string at spaces and retrieve the slice of strings, which represents the different words. The Fields function splits an input string around each instance of one or more consecutive whitespace characters. The word count is the frequency of occurrence of each unique word in the review.
