Constructor Details

#initialize(depth = 2) ⇒ Object

Create a new Temporary Markov Chain Dictionary and sentence generator for use. Depth defaults to two words but can be set to any number between 1 and 9.

Examples:

Create a new Temporary Dictionary.

markov = MarkyMarkov::TemporaryDictionary.new

Create a three word Temporary Dictionary.

markov = MarkyMarkov::TemporaryDictionary.new(3)

Parameters:

  • depth (Int) (defaults to: 2) —

    Optional dictionary depth. Defaults to 2.

  @sentence = MarkovSentenceGenerator.new(@dictionary)
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_sym, *args, &block) ⇒ String

Dynamically call generate_n_words or generate_n_sentences if an Int is substituted for the n in the method call.

Examples:

Generate a 40 and a 1 word long string of words.

markov.generate_40_words
markov.generate_1_word

Generate 2 sentences

markov.generate_2_sentences

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the sentence generated by the dictionary.

Since:

  • 0.1.4

Instance Method Details

#clear! ⇒ Object

Clears the temporary dictionary’s hash, useful for keeping the same dictionary object but removing the words it has learned.

Examples:

Clear the Dictionary hash.

markov.clear!

def clear!
  @dictionary.dictionary.clear
end

#dictionary ⇒ Hash

Returns the MarkovDictionary objects dictionary hash.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the MarkovDictionary hash.

end

#generate_n_sentences(sentencecount) ⇒ String

Generates n sentences using the dictionary generated via parse_string or parse_file. A sentence is defined as beginning with a capitalized word and ending with either a . ! or ?

Examples:

Generate three sentences.

markov.generate_n_sentences(3)

Generate six sentences with method_missing.

markov.generate_6_sentences

Parameters:

  • wordcount (Int) —

    the number of sentences you want generated.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the sentences generated by the dictionary.

Since:

  • 0.2.0

end

#generate_n_words(wordcount) ⇒ String

Generates a sentence/sentences of n words using the dictionary generated via parse_string or parse_file.

Examples:

Generate a 40 word long string of words.

markov.generate_n_words(40)

Generate a 10 word long string of words with method_missing.

markov.generate_10_words

Parameters:

  • wordcount (Int) —

    the number of words you want generated.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the sentence generated by the dictionary.

end

#parse_file(location) ⇒ Object

Parses a given file and adds the sentences it contains to the current dictionary.

Examples:

Open a text file and add its contents to the dictionary.

markov.parse_file "text.txt"

Parameters:

  • location (File) —

    the file you want to add to the dictionary.

end

#parse_string(string) ⇒ Object

Parses a given string and adds them to the current dictionary.

Examples:

Add a string to the dictionary.

markov.parse_string "I could really go for some Chicken Makhani."

Parameters:

  • string (String) —

    the sentence you want to add to the dictionary.

#respond_to_missing?(method_sym, include_private) ⇒ Boolean

Modify respond_to_missing? to include generate_n_words and generate_n_sentences method_missing implementation.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
