Word Generator

Overview

A Java application that generates words from a defined set of rules. It's a small project, but it taught me a big lesson about choosing the right data structure.

Key Contributions

  • Modeled the generation rules using core Java data structures, keyed to the words each rule could produce.
  • Wrote the algorithm that walks those rules to generate new output each run.

Lessons Learned

  • Small enough to see directly how the right data structure changes both a program's clarity and its performance.
