Im looking for a starting point I have my methods I just need to fill them in thanks

generateWordSearchProblem()
• makeGrid()
o instantiate an array of a given size
o fill it with random chars
• placeWords()
o read in each line
o parse it to obtain the starting row, starting col, direction, and word
o place the word
• printGrid()

public class WordSearch {

     Scanner scan;

     char [][] grid;

      

     public WordSearch(String filename){

         

     }


     public void generateWordSearchProblem(){

          makeGrid();

          placeWords();

          printGrid();

     }


     public void makeGrid(){ 

         

     }


     public void placeWords(){

       

      }


     public void printGrid(){

     }

}

the Sample output would look like this


For instance:
10 15
0 0 S HELLO
5 9 W GOODBYE
3 2 E HELP
would produce this grid:
Huhksdoval
Ethlrwayrz
Lttxkkwlcu
LsHELPpgyg
Owylzoigvi
tqhEYBDOOG
kcqjrlalgj
