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

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 and the program outputs the count of each word. The video encourages viewers to attempt 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 structure of the data that the program should maintain.

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

What is the overall goal of the project discussed in the video?
