N-gram_sentence_generator

This program will allow a user to create any number of sentences constructed from n-grams of any order from the any given corpus of text.

An n-gram is a sequence of N words.

The idea is to look at text as though examining

it through a window that can display only N words at a time, ... and while sliding

the window over the corpus of text, try to predict what the next word will be.
