Program 5, Grandmother's Trunk, Again.

Short Description:

This assignment is worth 25 points.

Goals

• Implemented and used functions.

Formal Description

1. Correctly identify the article to use with the phrases.
2. Generate random items to include in the computer's response.
3. Ask the user if they wish to continue playing the game.

1. string CorrectArticle(string phrase)
   • This function takes a phrase and returns
   • The string "an" if the phrase starts with a lower case vowel
   • the string "a" for other lower case letters
   • The string "The" for phrases that start with an upper case letter.
   • This is not completely right, but it will do for now.
2. string GetPhrase(void)
   • This function takes no parameters and returns the user's input.
3. bool Continue(void)
   • Asks the user if they wish to continue
   • Return true if they say yes (in any form)
   • Return false if they say no (in any form)
4. string UpperCase(string)
   • Takes the input string and converts it to upper case.
5. string RandomItem(void)
   • Like the magic 8 ball code, selects randomly from a set of items.

int turn;
bool flag;
string phrase,
       article,
       story;
....

turn = 0;
flag = Continue();
while (flag) {
     if (turn %2 == 0) {
         item = GetPhrase();
     } else {
         item = RandomItem();
     }
     turn++;

     article = CorrectArticle(item);

     story = story + "\n and " + article + " " + item;
     cout  << story  << PUNCTUATION << endl;
    
     flag = Continue();
}
...
