Question

I am using wordnet java API.
I have defined a

WordNetDatabase database = WordNetDatabase.getFileInstance();
Synset[] synsets = database.getSynsets(wordForm);

System.out.println("type " + synsets[i].getType());

when I do this print, I get value 1 for “new york”.

I am trying to find the value is NOUN (or) Verb….
But I get this values as 1.
what does 1 stand for?

It says here is of type: SynsetType.

Please let me now how I can find if the given word I give to lookup and the response is a noun (or) verb..

Answer 1

EDIT: This time I misread the documentation 🙂 I suggest using this:

SynsetType type = synsets[i].getType();
if (type.equals(SynsetType.NOUN)) {
    // Code for nouns
} else if (type.equals(SynsetType.VERB) {
    // Code for verbs
} else {
    // Code for non-verb/nouns.
}
