Oh, no! In a lengthy text, you mistakenly erased all spaces, punctuation, and capitalization. "I reset the computer," for example. It still didn't boot!" was changed to "iresetthecomputeritstilldidntboot". You may deal with the punctuation and capitalization later; for now, just replace the spaces. The majority of the terms are in dictionaries, but a handful are not. Design a method to unconcatenate the text in a way that reduces the amount of unknown characters given a dictionary (a list of strings) and the document (a string). EXAMPLE Input jesslookedjustliketimherbrother Output: jess looked just like tim her brother (7 unrecognized characters)
