I'm using a Map with eligible words for a hangman game I'm developing. The Integer in the Map stores the times a word has been chosen, so in the beginning the Map looks like this:
alabanza 0
esperanza 0
comunal 0
aprender 0
....
After some plays, the Map would look like this
alabanza 3
esperanza 4
comunal 3
aprender 1
....
I'd like to choose the next word randomly but having the less chosen word a bigger probability of been chosen.
I've read Java - Choose a random value from a HashMap but one with the highest integer assigned but it's the opposite case.
I''ve also thought I could use a list with repeated words (the more times a word appears in the list, the more the probabilities of been chosen) but I've only managed to get to this:
int numberOfWords=wordList.size(); //The Map
List<String> repeatedWords=new ArrayList<>();
for (Map.Entry<String,Integer> entry : wordList.entrySet()) {
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfWords-entry.getValue(); i++) {
repeatedWords.add(entry.getKey());
}
}
Collections.shuffle(repeatedWords); //Should it be get(Random)?
String chosenWord=repeatedWords.get(0);
I think this fails when the amount of words chosen equals the amount of words.
