Why do you think we pass before and after by reference (instead of by value) to calculate, even though we're not changing their contents?
Probably uses less memory to deduct structures then to load the values of all members and do the calculations with those.
Explain as precisely as possible, in a paragraph or more, how main goes about reading words from a file. In other words, convince us that you indeed understand how that function's for loop works.
For each character in the file, check if it is alphabetic or an '. If so, add to word. If it is longer then 45 characters, its not a word. If it is a number, it is not a word. Continue finding characters. If it is a word, replace old word with newly found word and check if it is misspelled.
Why do you think we used fgetc to read each word's characters one at a time rather than use fscanf with a format string like "%s" to read whole words at a time? Put another way, what problems might arise by relying on fscanf alone?
When using fscan f you can only find words with equal size as the used buffer.
Using const char *word/dictonary takes the pointer and prevents modification of the original word. Only the copy of the word inside the function can be modified.
