The Closest meter by Pattern

Boolean Procedure ClosestMeterByPattern

           

            Set PrevMismatchPointCount to -1

    Do while meter list is traversed

Set MismatchPointCount to 0

  Do while all syllables in the verse are traversed

                        If (weight of syllable is not same as corresponding weight of this meter)

                                    Set MismatchPointCount = MismatchPointCount + 1

                                    break  

                         End If

                          If (weight of syllable is ‘x’)

continue                     

                          End If

                End Do                  

           

If(PrevMismatchPointCount == -1 or PrevMismatchPointCount > MismatchPointCount)

             ClosestMeter = MeterCount  

             PrevMismatchPointCount = MismatchPointCount

             End If                                   

  Set MeterCount to 1 + MeterCount  

           

      End Do    

Problem Area according to the closest meter by pattern

Boolean Procedure printProblemAreas

           

            Array

               Do while all syllables in the verse are traversed

            If (weight of syllable is not same as corresponding weight of closest meter)

                                    Print the syllable index

                         End If

                          If (weight of syllable is ‘x’)

continue                     

                          End If

    End Do                  

                 

The Closest meter by Size

Boolean Procedure ClosestMeterBySize

           

            Set PrevDiff = -1

            Set MeterCount = 1

            Do while meter list is traversed

Diff = Difference(VerseSyllableSize, MeterWeightSize)

If(PrevDiff == -1 Or PrevDiff>Diff)

   PrevDiff = Diff

   ClosestMeter = MeterCount

End If

Set MeterCount to 1 + MeterCount  

           End Do           

            Retrun MeterCount
