NLPC

Natural Language Toolkit built using the C Programming Language.

Running NLPC

You can use NLPC simply by including the main header file:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "nlpc.h"
int main(){
    ...
    ...
}

Alternatively, you can include only the utilities desired

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "stemmer.h"
#include "preprocess.h"
int main(){
    ...
    ...
}

Dependencies

  • stdlib
  • limits
  • stdbool
  • string
