How do I make a search engine in turing that would search for items in an array. Also the search engine must allow for inexact matches or misspell words. Shocked

Here is an idea to get you going. 8)

code:
var a: array 1..10 of string
var word: string

a(1) := "hey"
a(2) := "hi"
a(3) := "swat"
a(4) := "turing"
a(5) := "school"
a(6) := "dog"
a(7) := "computer"
a(8) := "horse"
a(9) := "truck"
a(10) := "dragon"

put "Please enter the word you would like to search for"
get word

for i: 1..10
    if a(i) = word then
        put "This word is found in a(",i,")"
    end if
end for


This is an idea of how you could set it up. For providing leverage with the search try things like converting all the letters to the same case when checking if they are the same, etc. Anyway just play around with it a bit. Sorry gotta go to school

about mispelled words.. you can check for each letter in the string and output the results based on how many letters matched... Though if you add extra letter in the middle of the word, half the letters not gonna match
