Print all unique words of a String

Write a function that takes a String as an argument and prints all unique words in it.

Examples:

Input : Java is great. Grails is also great
Output : Java
         Grails
         also

Approach:
The idea is to use map to keep track of words already occurred. But first, we have to extract all words from a String, as a string may contain many sentences with punctuation marks.
For extracting words from a String, refer Extracting each word from a String.

Python: The idea is to use a Dictionary for calculating the count of each word. But first, we have to extract all words from a String because a string may contain punctuation marks. This is done using regex or regular expression. The word which has count 1 in the dictionary is a unique word.

Java

// Java program to print unique words
// from a string

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Test
{
    // Prints unique words in a string
    static void printUniquedWords(String str)
    {
        // Extracting words from string
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[a-zA-Z]+");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(str);

        // Map to store count of a word
        HashMap<String, Integer> hm = new HashMap<>();

        // if a word found
        while (m.find())
        {
            String word = m.group();

            // If this is first occurrence of word
            if(!hm.containsKey(word))
                hm.put(word, 1);
            else
                // increment counter of word
                hm.put(word, hm.get(word) + 1);

        }

        // Traverse map and print all words whose count
        // is  1
        Set<String> s = hm.keySet();
        Iterator<String> itr = s.iterator();

        while(itr.hasNext())
        {
            String w = itr.next();

            if (hm.get(w) == 1)
                System.out.println(w);
        }
    }

    // Driver Method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String str = "Java is great. Grails is also great";
        printUniquedWords(str);
    }
}

Python3

# Python program to print unique word
# in a string.
# Using re (Regular Expression module)
# It is used here to match a pattern
# in the given string
import re

# Declare a dictionary
dict = {}

# Method to check whether the word
# exists in dictionary or not
def uniqueWord(Word):

    if Word in dict:

        # If the word exists in dictionary then
        # simply increase its count
        dict[words] += 1

    else:

        # If the word does not exists in
        # dictionary update the dictionary
        # and make its count 1
        dict.update({words: 1})

# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':

    string = "Java is great. Grails is also great"

    # re.split() method is used to split
    # all the words in a string separated
    # by non-alphanumeric characters (\W)
    ListOfWords = re.split("[\W]+", string)

    # Extract each word from ListOfWords
    # and pass it to the method uniqueWord()
    for words in ListOfWords:
        uniqueWord(words)

    # Iterate over dictionary if the value
    # of the key is 1, then print the element
    for elements in dict:
        if dict[elements] == 1:
            print(elements)

Output:

Java
Grails

Method 2:using set()

Approach:

In this approach, we store the string in the form of a set of individual words and print the words. To solve this problem in this method, first we need to know about https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/sets-in-python/

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

# python program to print all
# the unique words in a string
# in python using set() method
# function to print unique words


def printWords(l):

    # for loop for iterating
    for i in l:
        print(i)


# Driver code
str = "geeks for geeks"

# storing string in the form of list of words
s = set(str.split(" "))

# passing list to print words function
printWords(s)

Output

geeks
for
