Querying the Document in C - Hacker Rank Solution

Hello coders, today we will be solving Querying the Document in C Hacker Rank Solution.

Problem

A document is represented as a collection paragraphs, a paragraph is represented as a collection of sentences, a sentence is represented as a collection of words and a word is represented as a collection of lower-case ([a-z]) and upper-case ([A-Z]) English characters.

You will convert a raw text document into its component paragraphs, sentences and words. To test your results, queries will ask you to return a specific paragraph, sentence or word as described below.

Alicia is studying the C programming language at the University of Dunkirk and she represents the words, sentences, paragraphs, and documents using pointers:

A word is described by char*
A sentence is described by char**. The words in the sentence are separated by one space (" "). The last word does not end with a space(" ").
A paragraph is described by char***. The sentences in the paragraph are separated by one period (".").
A document is described by char****. The paragraphs in the document are separated by one newline("\n"). The last paragraph does not end with a newline.

For example:

Learning C is fun.
Learning pointers is more fun.It is good to have pointers.

The only sentence in the first paragraph could be represented as:

char** first_sentence_in_first_paragraph = {"Learning", "C", "is", "fun"};

The first paragraph itself could be represented as:

char*** first_paragraph = {{"Learning", "C", "is", "fun"}};

The first sentence in the second paragraph could be represented as:

char** first_sentence_in_second_paragraph = {"Learning", "pointers", "is", "more", "fun"};

The second sentence in the second paragraph could be represented as:

char** second_sentence_in_second_paragraph = {"It", "is", "good", "to", "have", "pointers"};

The second paragraph could be represented as:

char*** second_paragraph = {{"Learning", "pointers", "is", "more", "fun"}, {"It", "is", "good", "to", "have", "pointers"}};

Finally, the document could be represented as:

char**** document = {{{"Learning", "C", "is", "fun"}}, {{"Learning", "pointers", "is", "more", "fun"}, {"It", "is", "good", "to", "have", "pointers"}}};

Alicia has sent a document to her friend Teodora as a string of characters, i.e. represented by char* not char****. Help her convert the document to char**** form by completing the following functions:

char**** get_document(char* text) to return the document represented by char****.
char**** kth_paragraph(char**** document, int k)to return the kth paragraph.
char**** kth_sentence_in_mth_sentence_of_nth_paragraph(char**** document, int k, int m, int n) to return the kth word in the mth sentence of the nth paragraph.

Input Format

The first line contains the integer paragraph_count.

Each of the next paragraph_count lines contains a paragraph as a single string.

The next line contains the integer q, the number of queries.

Each of the next q lines or groups of lines contains a query in one of the following formats:

1 The first line contains 1 k:
The next line contains an integer x, the number of sentences in the kth paragraph.
Each of the next x lines contains an integer a[i], the number of words in the ith sentence.
This query corresponds to calling the function kth_paragraph.
2 The first line contains 2 k m:
The next line contains an integer x, the number of words in the kth sentence of the mth paragraph.
This query corresponds to calling the function 3 k m n:
3 The only line contains
This query corresponds to calling the function kth_word_in_mth_senctence_of_nth_paragraph.

Constraints

The text which is passed to the get_document has words separated by a space (" "), sentences separated by a period (".") and paragraphs separated by a newline("\n").
The last word in a sentence does not end with a space.
The last paragraph does not end with a newline.
The words contain only upper-case and lower-case English letters.
1 ≤ number of characters in the entire document ≤ 1000
1 ≤ number of paragraphs in the entire document ≤ 5

Output Format

Print the paragraph, sentence or the word corresponding to the query to check the logic of your code.

Explanation 0

The first query corresponds to returning the second paragraph with 2 sentences of lengths 5 and 6 words.

The second query correspond to returning the first sentence of the first paragraph. It contains 4 words.

The third query corresponds to returning the first word of the first sentence of the first paragraph.
