Scala & Spark-Master Big Data with Scala and Spark - Project Overview - Data Structures II

This video introduces a mini project to create a word count program. The project involves asking the user for a number of words, taking those words as input, and counting the occurrences of each word. An example is provided where the user inputs words like 'Apple' and 'Banana', and the program counts their occurrences. The video encourages viewers to try solving the problem on their own before proceeding to the next video, where the implementation will be discussed.

What is the first step the user needs to take in the word count program?

How should the program handle duplicate words entered by the user?

Describe the final output structure of the word count program.

What should the program do after maintaining the counts of the words?

What is the purpose of the next video mentioned in the text?
