Writing an algorithm to complete a checklist, where to start? -
i'm completing dissertation in health economics , explore possibility of using algorithm answer checklist manually filled in during research.
the checklist 24-item checklist asks questions such "was discount rate reported?". now, articles i've been reviewing tend codified. is, there few ways report answer (e.g. "we discounted @ 3% in evaluation").
theoretically, think possible write program search text , fill out majority of these checklist items. however, have little experience in programming. far can see, program involve writing algorithm of sorts, knowledge ends.
particularly, know - possible? - if so, how go exploring further? ideally, i'd point play around writing algorithm through database.
this done simple logic , parsing, key manual entries consistent in way "codified".
for example, you'd parse line specific token (or validation word).
in case above parse word word string: "we discounted @ 3% in evaluation"
code wise implement basic logical comparison each word parsed in string.
if(currentword equal "discounted") create checkmark.
