I've 30 variables in a text file
I've no idea what a variable in a text file looks like or means.
variables only make sense inside a program context, in
a file the only thing that exists is data. You may have 30 values?
and I want to read this text file and create 10 clusters
based on 18 variables.
What is a cluster? I know the general concept but how
does it relate to programming?
I want to read an other text file and find the closest
match using these clusters
Define a class to represent your clusters - whatever they are.
Write a method of the class to take a value and return a
comparison score, based on whatever arbnitrary definition
of closeness you want to use. Call that method to compare
your value and the cluster and keep track of the minimum
(on the asumption that the value represents "distance" from
the cluster...)
