For context, this problem is based on a old chat-bot project I did.

Problem:

Given a string of words containing any of the characters:

" !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~"

Find the frequency of each triplet of words. All non-alphanumeric characters should be ignored, and input/output will be case-insensitive.

For this challenge, the "triplets" of a phrase are each consecutive chunk of 3 words along the string.

For example, in the string

"Oh hi there guy. What's up? Oh hi there."

The "triplets" of the string are

[["oh", "hi", "there"], ["hi", "there", "guy"], ["there", "guy", "whats"], ["guy", "whats", "up"],
 ["whats", "up", "oh"], ["up", "oh", "hi"], ["oh", "hi", "there"]]

The frequency of each triplet is 1, except for ["oh", "hi", "there"], which appears twice.

Input

Input will be a string of space-delimited "words" that may contain any of the characters mentioned above. Although punctuation is to be ignored, it must be handled.

You can assume the input will always contain at least 3 words, and that there won't be consecutive whitespace.

Output

Output can be anything that shows the frequency of each triplet.

For the string "Oh hi there guy.", possible outputs could be:

{"oh hi there":1, "hi there guy":1}

["oh hi there", 1, "hi there guy", 1]

"oh hi there|1 hi there guy|1"
            ^ Or any other delimiter

Test Cases (Output order doesn't matter):

"Oh hi there guy. What's up? Oh hi there."
{["oh" "hi" "there"] 2,
 ["hi" "there" "guy"] 1,
 ["there" "guy" "whats"] 1,
 ["guy" "whats" "up"] 1,
 ["whats" "up" "oh"] 1,
 ["up" "oh" "hi"] 1}

"aa aa aa aa"
{["aa" "aa" "aa"] 2}

"aa bb a bb a bb a cc a bb a"
{["aa" "bb" "a"] 1,
 ["bb" "a" "bb"] 2,
 ["a" "bb" "a"] 3,
 ["bb" "a" "cc"] 1,
 ["a" "cc" "a"] 1,
 ["cc" "a" "bb"] 1}

"99 bottles of beer"
{["99" "bottles" "of"] 1,
 ["bottles" "of" "beer"] 1}

Your submission can be a function or full program, and can take input via stdin, or as an argument. It may output by returning, or printing to the stdout.

This is code golf, so the shortest number of bytes wins.

ŒlḲf€ØBṡ3ṢŒr'

A monadic link (function) that returns a list, each entry contains a list of 3 lists of characters (the words) and a count.

Try it online! - the footer formats the results (as a full program everything just gets smushed together by the implicit print).

How?

ŒlḲf€ØBṡ3ṢŒr' - Main link: s
Œl            - convert s to lowercase
  Ḳ           - split on spaces
     ØB       - base digit yield "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
   f€         - filter keep for €ach
       ṡ3     - all overlapping slices of length 3
         Ṣ    - sort
            ' - call the previous monadic link without vectorising
          Œr  -     run length encode

Try it

*.words.rotor(3=>-2).map({lc S:g/<-:L-:N-:Z>//}).Bag.perl

Try it

Expanded:

*\                # WhateverCode lambda (this is the parameter)
.words            # get a list of words
.rotor( 3 => -2 ) # grab 3, back up 2, repeat

})
.Bag              # turn it into a Bag

Try it online!

Explanation

T`lLd p`lld _

Replace all uppercase letters with lowercase ones, keep other letters, digits and spaces unchanged and delete other characters.

M!&`(\b\w+ ??){3}

Find all possible matches of three words in a row.

O`

Sort the matches, so equal triplets end next to each other.

$
¶

Add a newline at the end.

D`

Remove duplicate lines (this will keep the newlines at the end of them).

¶+
:$.&¶

Sequences of newlines are now the counts we need, replace them with a delimiter (:) followed by the count and a newline.

Mathematica, 75 bytes

Tally@Partition[ToLowerCase@#~StringSplit~RegularExpression@"[_\\W]+",3,1]&

Pure function taking a string as input and returning a list of ordered triples of strings together with their number of appearances. For example, on the input "aa bb a bb a bb a cc a bb a" the output is {{{"aa", "bb", "a"}, 1}, {{"bb", "a", "bb"}, 2}, {{"a", "bb", "a"}, 3}, {{"bb", "a", "cc"}, 1}, {{"a", "cc", "a"}, 1}, {{"cc", "a", "bb"}, 1}}. The expression RegularExpression@"[_\\W]+" recognizes all runs of one or more non-word characters (that's what \\W does, except it calls _ a word character whereas we don't want to). ToLowerCase@#~StringSplit~ then splits the input string at all of those runs, after converting all letters to lowercase. Partition[...,3,1] partitions the resulting list into all triples of consecutive words, and Tally does exactly what we want to that list of triples.

print l

Not a really great solution, I know. Pretty straightforward.

Thanks to @ovs for saving 5 bytes overall.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Some improvements: ' ' is the default parameter of split, you don't need the newline and tab after for and you can replace your conditional expression with l[i]=l.get(i,0)+1 Tio \$\endgroup\$

R, 114 bytes

x=readline();y=strsplit(tolower(gsub('[[:punct:]]','',x)),' ')[[1]];s=3:length(y);table(paste(y[s-2],y[s-1],y[s]))

Reads input, removes punctuation, splits it into words and counts triplets.

Port of @JonathanAllan's Jelly answer, so make sure to upvote him as well.

Try it online or verify all test cases.

Explanation:

#             # Split the (implicit) input-string by spaces
   δ          # Map over each word:
    Ã         #  Only keep all
 žL           #  alphanumeric characters (a-zA-Z0-9) of the word
     l        # Convert everything to lowercase
      ü3      # Convert it to a list of overlapping triplets
        {     # Sort this list of triplets
         Åγ   # Run-length encode it, resulting in a list of triplets and list of counts
              # pushed separately to the stack
           ø  # Pair the items in the two lists together
              # (after which the result is output implicitly)

Try it Online!

Outputs a list of ⟨ triplet | count ⟩

Explained

⇩⌈krF3lĊ
⇩⌈         # Split the lowercase input on spaces
  krF      # remove all non-alphabet/non-number characters and keep only strings with alphabet letters
     3l    # group into windows of 3
        Ċ  # get the count of each triplet.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Your program currently only keeps letters instead of alphanumeric characters (99 bottles of beer test case fails). \$\endgroup\$ Nov 1, 2022 at 11:46
  • \$\begingroup\$ @KevinCruijssen despite seeing the word "alphanumeric" in the post, I somehow managed to completely miss the "numeric" part :p (fixed now) \$\endgroup\$
