Use C# to find orthographic neighbors.

An orthographic neighbor is defined as a word of the same length that differs from the original string by only one letter. For example, given the word 'cat', the words 'bat', 'fat', 'mat', and 'cab' are considered orthographic neighbors.

Answer :

To find orthographic neighbors in C#, you can compare each word in a given list with the original word, checking for differences in one letter.

To find orthographic neighbors in C#, you can follow these steps

1. Start by defining a method that takes the original word and a list of words as parameters.

2. Iterate through each word in the list.

3. Compare the length of the current word with the length of the original word. If they are not the same, continue to the next word.

4. Initialize a counter to keep track of the number of differing letters.

5. Iterate through each letter in both the original word and the current word simultaneously.

6. If the letters at the same position are different, increment the counter.

7. If the counter exceeds 1, break out of the loop and continue to the next word.

8. If the counter is exactly 1, the current word is an orthographic neighbor. You can add it to a result list or perform any desired action.

9. After iterating through all the words, you will have a list of orthographic neighbors.

Here's an example implementation of the above steps

```csharp

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

public class OrthographicNeighborsFinder

{

public static List FindOrthographicNeighbors(string originalWord, List wordsList)

{

List orthographicNeighbors = new List();

foreach (string word in wordsList)

{

if (word.Length != originalWord.Length)

continue;

int differences = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < originalWord.Length; i++)

{

if (originalWord[i] != word[i])

differences++;

if (differences > 1)

break;

}

if (differences == 1)

orthographicNeighbors.Add(word);

}

return orthographicNeighbors;

}

public static void Main()

{

string originalWord = "cat";

List wordsList = new List { "bat", "fat", "mat", "cab" };

List neighbors = FindOrthographicNeighbors(originalWord, wordsList);

foreach (string neighbor in neighbors)

{

Console.WriteLine(neighbor);

}

}

}

```

This implementation compares each word in the given list with the original word by iterating through each letter and counting the differences. If a word has exactly one differing letter, it is considered an orthographic neighbor. The neighbors are stored in a separate list, which can be used for further processing or display.
