Suppose that we want to help physicians to diagnose illnesses. A physician observes a patient's symptoms and considers the illnesses that could be associated with those symptoms. Design and implement a class PhysiciansHelper that provide a list of those illnesses.
PhysiciansHelper should contain a dictionary of illnesses and symptoms. A method should read a text file of illnesses and their symptoms into the dictionary. See format in sample data file.
PhysiciansHelper should read a list of symptoms for a patient. A method should read a list of symptoms and store into a list. Then, it finds a list illnesses that are associated with those symptoms. See format in sample run output.
Note: I have modified specification and requirements of this project
Project requirements:
? You will need to complete two methods in PhysiciansHelper class:
public void processDatafile();
public void processSymptoms();
Refer to PhysiciansHelper for detailed info.
? You must use the predefined private Map> symptomChecker to store symptoms to illnesses mapping info. See format in sample run output.
? All string data are not case sensitive, i.e. should work for either uppercase or lowercase letters.
? In processSymptoms() methods, you must
o list possible symptoms in sorted order.
o read user input symptoms in single line
o check for invalid symptoms and eliminate duplicated symptoms
o display result in format as shown in sample output (must count number of matched symptoms)
? Use Java API Map and List in your project
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Map.html
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/List.html
Here are some methods that you may need:
Map: get(), put(), containsKey(), keySet(), entrySet()
List: add(), contains(), size()
Compile program: javac PhysiciansHelper.java
Sample Run: Note: I expect similar output from your program
$ cat sample_data.txt // contents of sample data file
cold: runny nose, cough, sore throat
flu: runny nose, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, fever
mumps: high fever, rash, swelling
whooping cough: cough, rash, high fever
acid reflux: chest pain, burping
chickenpox: fever, blister
measles : runny nose, cough, fever, rash
norovirus : nausea, diarrhea, vomiting
ague: sweatiness, achy, high fever

PatientSymptoms list: [cough, rash, fever, runny nose]
Possible illnesses that match any symptom are:
==> Disease(s) match 1 symptom(s)
chickenpox
mumps
==> Disease(s) match 2 symptom(s)
whooping cough
cold
==> Disease(s) match 3 symptom(s)
flu
==> Disease(s) match 4 symptom(s)
measles
