Test files

This repository includes four txt files that can be used to test the program located in the testFiles folder.

Correct output of test1.txt:

 foo : 14   
 bar : 12   
 y : 1   

Correct output of test2.txt:

 foo : 14   
 bar : 12   
 y : 1     

Correct output of test3.txt:

 foo : 22  
 bar : 18  
 y : 2  
 foo_bar : 2  
 bar_foo : 2  

Correct output of test4.txt:

 foo : 22  
 bar : 18  
 y : 2  
 foo_bar : 2  
 bar_foo : 2   

test1.txt and test2.txt have the same output because these files have the same text lines but in diferent order, test3.txt and test4.txt also have the same output for the same reason.
