    I don't think anyone cares about this topic except you. Now don't get all bent out of shape over it, it's just that you ignore everything anyone has said, except to take exception or offense about it, and you keep posting a bunch of stuff and acting like we care.

    I just don't think anyone here cares.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Hi quzzah, I suspect people don't care for artificial intelligence at all. Suppose that a strange thing happened and my previous post where I fully describe my idea is the only way to AI...how many people will work on it if I quit? zero, that's how many.
    It's work, i wanger even to stress yourself enough to consider the previous post I made is seriously too much like work for anybody to do it. AI's not worth it.

    I do this for my amusement for something to do. Once it's done and works I give it away and who cares? maybe somebody but why? So I don't care if nobody cares since myself I'm only doing this cause I can, not becaue I care about it or stress out about it over breakfast lunch and dinner..

    Jeremy... you may be on to something. However; it is one of two things. It is either A) so far beyond us that we can't grasp it or B) a load of incoherrent drivel.

    Wanna guess which one I'm betting on?

    It is kind of sad that you don't realize how delusional you are. Well, in terms of this forum, I think you should take your ideas elsewhere really, because right now, you are not asking any C questions whatsoever, you are not explaining anything coherent about what it is that you want to do(maybe because you don't know what you want to do), you are using a typical methodology of "let's see where this goes" that doesn't work in software development, and this thread is more and more cryptic with every post you make.

    Like CommonTater said:

    1) You are either too smart for us in which case we can't help you
    2) Or you are really foolish and keep finding comfort in your stubbornness to be like that. (which is what I have my money on)

    In EITHER case, there is NOTHING we can do for you here.
    1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
    2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
    3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
    4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.

    What Jeremy seems not to appreciate is that grammatical analysis is an extremely complex function that makes up huge chunks of code in word processors etc. Basically each word is looked up in a dictionary that, in addition to describing the word, also defines it as a noun, verb, adverb, etc. From that look up the sequence of preposition, noun, verb, adverb etc. in each sentence is compared to a database of acceptable grammatical "rules"... since some words can be used in differing contexts, rule matching has to be done on the fly, building a rule match word by word in each sentence. If the sequence does not match a known rule, the grammar checker will make suggestions which is generally done by suggesting either different words or different sequences that do match a rule. There's no real intelligence behind it, the computer is just "looking stuff up" and offerring a set of prepared responses...

    All the graphs and pretty charts in the world won't describe this process. They may help him understand human speech patterns better but they do nothing to help the computer at all.

    So, aside from reinventing the wheel, he's teetering on the edge of misunderstanding. This, I think, comes from a lack of understanding of how computers and C (in particular) are used to solve problems like this... So, once again the best advice he can be given is to simply ... LEARN C and learn some about programming. In the process of a proper learning curve the solution to his "invention" (re-invention, really) may or may not present itself but at least he will learn WHY gramatical analysis is a horrifically complicated process.
