C Programming Chatbot

Project Overview

C Programming Chatbot is an academic project developed in C that provides explanations of common C programming concepts through an interactive command-line chatbot.

The chatbot uses a dictionary of C programming topics along with corresponding explanations stored in external text files. It can identify exact topic matches and provide suggestions when the user's input does not exactly match a topic.

How It Works

1. Loads C programming topics from dict.txt.
2. Loads the corresponding explanations from mean.txt.
3. Accepts a question or topic from the user.
4. Converts the input to lowercase.
5. Splits the input into individual words.
6. Removes common words that are not useful for matching.
7. Checks for an exact topic match.
8. If an exact match is not found, searches for a similar topic.
